Gumball/Candy machine, so cute!

 Well can I just say that I. LOVE. THESE! I found the idea from I (heart) Naptime and knew I had to make a few or like 8 to be exact! I was only going to make them for my kids teachers but then I decided it would be fun for a couple more people as a Christmas gift so I went back to the stores and bought enough for 4 more :) For 1 machine you will need 1- pot, 1- saucer from Home Depot, 1- glass bowl from the Dollar Tree and 1- wood ball, I had a problem finding these cause I literally live in the desert and neither Wal-Mart nor Home Depot had these so I ended up buying drawer pulls from H.D. at .97 cents a piece. I ended up going over to Las Vegas and as I was looking for something completely different I happened upon the wood balls I needed for this AND there were 9 in a bag for 2.99 AND I had a 40% off coupon so I totally scored, I took back the draw pulls and got over 8 bucks back :) :) Anyway back to the directions, you will also need paint of your choice I used black and painted them with 2 coats. You'll need E-6000 (glue) or something similar for adhering glass and then some white vinyl or you could always use white paint for the dots and glass etching cream for the words. I used my paper crimper and my shredder for the filler paper inside (crimp paper 1st then shred) The dots were cut from George and Basic shapes at 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4 then my daughter helped me randomly stick them on. The word "candy" was cut from Calligraphy at 1.59 on my Gypsy. I added some fun ribbon and some yummy candy and called it good. That's it pretty easy :)

This one was for the guy teacher my daughter has so we didn't do the polka dots and we used striped ribbon instead ;)
