How can I build on an infinite sea?
I let my small cousin play Minecraft a while, but then she came to me with a problem: She had made a new survival world which consisted only of a sea, using the superflat world prefixes. She said she likes the world and doesn't want to make a new one or fill up the water.
How can I build on an infinite sea using at most the /give command? What items will I need to use? (any offered solution will be appreciated).

Here's what I found out:
Method #1:
Use Lilypad(s), Lava Bucket and preferably a Pickaxe.
- Place 1 Lilypad on the water.
- Spill the lava on it
- Take the lava back
- Take or keep the stone generated
- Repeat steps 1-5
Method #2
Quickly execute these commands when nobody is looking:
/fill ~ ~ ~ ~+12 ~-5 ~+12 minecraft:sponge 0 hollow
/fill ~ ~ ~ ~+12 ~-5 ~+12 minecraft:cobblestone 0 replace minecraft:sponge
/tp ~ ~-2 ~
Now give yourself some items and you're done!
