Kids Cup Pong Game

  Christmas evening, my fiance', 2 son's, and myself went to a good friends home for games and drinks (like every holiday). While being merry their son brought  out a gift from Santa, a game called Cup Ponk (tm). A game that is popular this past holiday season. It consists of a cup, ping pong balls (both with cartoon characters on them) and cards with different kinds of shots pictured on them.
    Naturally my 2 boys wanted a set. But at $15 I said " No Way! I can make that for $5!!!"
So of course my boys challenged me to make a set for them.

    This my first Instructable. Hope it helps and you enjoy it.

Step 1 You will need:

 1 or 2 cups - extras from home - $0
 1 pkg. of ping pong balls - $1.99
 Spray Paint - left over from another project - $ .88
 Temporary Tattoos - Boys got a book of 500 for Easter - Free courtesy of Easter Bunny
 Index Cards - Had some laying around - $ .99
 Markers or pens

what about the foam insert and the plastic fingers inside the cup to prevent bounce-out? suggestions

I actually did not think about those. Thanks. I have alot of foam from other stuff I have done. Maybe cut a piece size of bottom of cup and glue in. Thank you for the suggestion I will post a update when I get it done.

This game is surprisingly fun especially if you really try to challenge yourself with the "tricks". My girlfriend got it for me for Christmas on a sale so I know she spent a lot less than $15. One thing you could add to this that mine included is a ramp that attaches to the lid for certain tricks.

I did note this after playing awhile. And the cups you buy in stores have a groove that the collar fits into. I am actually trying to figure out how to do this. Thanks for the comment and suggestion.
