• One of the boards should be sawed in half and all parts should be connected in the form of a cross, in its center a hole should be drilled with a diameter identical to the diameter of the tube;
• a plastic tube is inserted into the hole and fastened firmly, an inverted soda bottle is fastened to the top of the tube with the help of a scotch tape;
• Improvised drip can be decorated with a red cross, supplemented with a glued thin (transparent tube) through which guests can treat drink;
