Step 1:

Get 7 pieces of plastic bottles and form them in a round shape. Wrap them with tape, then add another layer of plastic bottles and tape them to secure. Cut two circles from the plywood, the same size as the diameter of the taped plastic bottles. Mark in the center and 5 points around it. Drill the screws on the points, then repeat on the other side.
