I drink a LOT of coffee, so I end up with these coffee creamer bottles...

I'm sure these can be made into props, somehow. I've thought about bowling pins or juggling clubs, but I think that would be more trouble than they're worth (I can get toy bowling pins cheap, and it would be a pain trying to balance them for clubs).

Any other suggestions?

Do they look like this. This is the only thing I've seen made from those white bottles. Maybe someone could use them for this. Not that its a prop just a suggestion.

Drink less coffee!!!!

Could be a smaller version of a tip jar or a way to decorate the jar to hold some of your smaller clowny props like squeekers, Kazoos etc. Just a suggestion.

Not sure about a prop yet, but what I see in the shape is BOZO the CLOWN punching bag. Remember the roly-poly inflatable where you punch his nose and he rocks back and forth? Maybe this can be a craft idea with a group of Joeys, ministry group,or with hospital children?

Replace the spout lid. Add a stryrofoam head, Paint it or cover it in fabric, add a pompom red nose and sharpie pen eyes and mouth. Glue felt clothing/costume on the body part and add painted cardboard big shoes to stabilize the structure.

If you add arms that flap and flop, you could add marionette strings to it to make it into a puppet.

Ill keep thinking about a prop.

(Laugh) My cousin had one of those things.

Okay. I got an idea for these, but still not as props, but a way to share some music with others.

What about making the canisters into colorful maracas? That way you can use up TWO per person!



OH Here's an idea as a performace gag prop-- how about if you rig them so that you can attach them on top of one another and make a really tall stacking prop trick... kinda like a balancing act similar to spinning plate stacking? Make it look like the bottles could fall at any moment, but they are actually together so after you show the crowd how you carefully stack them on top of one another and balance them precariously, you can take a bow with them and they are still attached to each other.

I like that idea. And you can use beans to rattle. Glue the lids on so the kids don't eat them. Hmmm...I may have to start putting cream in my coffee.

Okay. I finally figured out a prop idea. If you hold it on its side, they can become flashlights. Cut off the bottom so you can put a tea light candle inside as your lightbulb.

Another idea I'm wondering if it would work, is to take the top off and insert a 260 balloon inside and then inflate it so that the container can hold onto the balloon and you can use it as a flower vase centerpiece for a single rose balloon. Make a bunch of them and sell them when you do balloons. Or sell them at a restaurant for Valentine's Day.

Oh Artsy that is a good idea have you done that before with 260's. Do you have to make the stem short so it doesn't topple over? For the light I guess I'm daft but I don't get it. Hold it on it's side? You mean the long way parallel and cut the end off so you end up with a tube? If you light the candle does it melt the plastic? Or am I way off base here?
