Made for a friend, she loves a drink (usually the bubbly kind) so I had her falling into the 'drink' literally. I lined a martini glass with food grade plastic wrap and sprayed adhesive, then covered with small polystrene balls, sprayed the glue and did another layer of balls etc etc until I built a base to lay the figure on. She has no children so using styro balls wasn't a problem. if she had kids, I would have made fondant balls
