You need:
A chopstick 
bright Krylon  paint

thin wire
stir straw
hot glue 
wine cork
Pocket knife/ multi tool 

Step 1: Floatation

Bore a hole in the cork and push the chopstick through with the thick end ^up^

Step 2: Stabilization

Now thin the bottom end of your bobber and glue your 1/4oz lead weight to the thinned out part.

Step 3: Color

paint the thick end (the top) a bright color Using Krylon outdoor Paint

Step 4: Bore Out Holes

Bore a hole in the top and botton(use stir sticks, wire, and hot glue too support the bottom of the float)

Step 5: Your Done!!!!!

It works too!! Thread your line through the two holes and use it as an adjustable depth bobber.
