Ideas Please


I know a lot of you are crafty, so I was hoping for some suggestions.


Louis loves this cup almost as much as Athena and it recently started leaking. Any ideas on how to either find a new use for it or prolong its life? I'd like to give it to him as a surprise that I didn't throw it away on Father's Day.

Is the image of Joe Camel painted directly on the cup, or is it on paper, sandwiched between the layers of acrylic? If it's paper, I was thinking you could try to get it out of there and insert it in a brand new cup. If not, find a similar image elsewhere and print it out to insert in a new cup. That was my first idea.

Second idea: Have Athena hold the cup or even pretend to be drinking from it. Take a picture of this adorableness and get it printed on a new cup. (I'm sure Winkflash or Snapfish, etc. does something like this.)

If you don't like those ideas, go utilitarian. It could be a pen holder or a change cup.

I was doing to say planter, but TWIT's answer is WAY better.

You could take a great picture of it and frame it.

Uh, do what you would do if you were having a party at your parents house and something broke...try and replace it. Ebay item # 380005861479 it looks identical and it's $1, I am sure you can do the switcharoo and he'll never know...granted you erase this post.

Hurley said...

I like t.w.i.t.'s answer using Athena!!! You could dress her up as Joe Camel! Too much, yeah...maybe :)

I remember when his mom cut up his favorite pillow and put it in a frame for his birthday or something like that and it didn't go over well. He does get attached to his favs doesn't he.

Hurley said...

Well, did you look that number up on ebay? Last time I try and help you out!

Hurley said...
