Fill a bottle with paint and screw on the paintbrush tip
You have a great idea for an invention. It's something you've always dreamed of but have never been able to find. And you also think it would sell well and that a lot of people would like it and find it useful. The problem is that you don't know how to make it, or how to design it, let alone market it. Why let that great idea go to waste?
Quirky.com is a web site that develops ideas. You can send in that design you've been mulling over and their team of designers, engineers and graphic artists will evaluate it. In order to send your idea in, you'll have to pay a fee. But if it passes the test and is finally manufactured, you'll also get part of the profits.
This is what happened with the inventor of Crafty Caps, paintbrush tips that screw onto water bottles turning them into original rubber stamps. Choose a tip (there are 6 different models), fill a bottle with paint, and use it like a giant marker.
Crafty Caps' appeal is in their simplicity, but that is actually the hardest thing to achieve... Bet you never imagined anything like this!
