Step 3.

Take a quarter of  an Alka Seltzer, make it small pieces and add one at a time to the bottle. (If you want to make a bigger lamp, and use a 1 liter bottle, you should add a full pill of Alka Seltzer)

Wait until the first piece stops bubbling before you drop in the next.  If you add too much Alka Seltzer, the solution gets all cloudy.
