My daughter is prop mistress for a show which requires 8 candlestick telephones.  they need to be durable enough to be dropped occasionally and in a choreographed number.

any thoughts on how to manufacture these?  Any ideas at all would be appreciated

thanks and sorry I forgot to mention the name of the show.  It is a murder mystery spoof called "Something's A foot"

all I really know about it is it has a "gajillion props" and is based quite a bit on "Ten Little Indians"

I am making candlestick phones for our production of Crazy for You. I need 10 of them. I am using pvc pipe hot glued to a paper bowl at one end and a cut paper bowl at the other. After assembly, I will paint the whole thing black. I made a prototype using a paper towel roll but think the pvc pipe will be more sturdy. My mom saw my prototype in my washroom and thought it was the real thing. She didn't know I was making these for our production. You could try something like this but use Gorilla glue to make sure it holds together and then keep extra phones on hand in case one breaks during drops. Maybe using a plastic bowl would be more sturdy.
