Items Needed for this cute Mini Gumball Machine:
- Multi- color gumballs
- Clear fillable ornaments
- Red Disposable Solo cups
- Scrapbook or Construction Paper
- Sharpie or Marker to write your message
- Hot glue gun
Instructions to make the Gumball Machine:
- Create the base of your gumball machine by placing a rubber band around your cup. You can use this to trace a line that will give you a straight cut. Cut the cup all the way around to shorten it and make your gumball machine base.
- Take your plastic ornament and separate it, filling it with gumballs and then put the two sides back together. Place a small amount of tape on the outside of the ornament to be sure they stay securely closed.
- Create a slit in the top of your cup and place the top portion of the ornament in the slit.
- Secure the underside of the cup with hot glue to secure it in place.
- The last step is to create a message using your scrap paper. You can also decorate with stickers to make it your own.
- Have Fun! ☺
