| This gumball machine craft is just the right size for a doll but it would also work well as a SWAP! |
To make this sweet little candy craft, you will need to collect a few supplies: a spool (preferably wooden), a wooden ball to attach to the top, colorful acrylic paints, tacky craft glue, a black permanent ink marker and a little cardboard for the spout.
First, glue the wooden ball to the top of the wooden spool using the tacky craft glue. Set this aside and let it dry overnight. Then glue on a tiny circular shape for the coin insert and a small spout for the candy return. Cut these from cardboard and attach them with the same tacky glue. Let all of these adhered parts dry completely before painting the surface.
Paint the spool portion of the craft with red paint and the globe part with white paint. Let this paint dry for 30 to 40 minutes. Use the tip of a brush or the eraser end of a pencil to paint on all of the colorful candy dots! Paint the coin insert and small spout grey. Take the permanent ink pen and write 25 cents on the coin insert. I also added a decorative black line with the marker around the spool's lip.
You can make a toy gumball machine like this one as small as you like; simply select a smaller spool and bead to work with!
