Need Advice for a blank...

[redneckmedic]

My cousin Graduates soon and I'm wanting to keep in tradition and make her a pen as I have all my other family and friends. She hasn't chosen a profession yet but is really into Hula Hooping.... I mean really into it, as with everything else she has taken it into the next level with stunts, flips, and other tricks as part of a routine.

I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate a hula hoop concept into a pen. Either grind and cast, decal, or put a ring on the pen, like one would do a rattle.

Any suggestions.....?

I never heard a better excuse to make a captured ring pen! Be sure to paint the ring to look like a hula hoop!

Captive ring? Like those made with these: Set of 3 Benjamin's Best HSS Captive Ring Tools at Penn State Industries
only smaller?

maybe you should consider a decal.. I googled "hula hoop" clip art and got several sites...
here's one example

Yes, I meant to say "captive" ring. Do it!
