How do you make a gumball machine?
Gumball machines are useful in game rooms, dens or any place that your family enjoys snacks. You do not have to use gumballs; you can fill them with nuts, snack mixes, individually wrapped hard candy or other treats. Making homemade gumball machines is an uncomplicated project for Scout troops, sleepovers, to sell at flea markets or just as an enjoyable way to spend a rainy day. It only takes a few basic supplies to create this decorative craft. Paint the surfaces of the terra cotta pot and saucer with the paint primer. Allow it to dry thoroughly. Apply a coat of the glossy paint and let it dry according to the package directions. Use another coat if necessary. Place the pot on a tabletop upside down, so that the opening is on the surface of the table. Apply a layer of the silicone or aquarium caulking to the bottom edge of the fish or ivy bowl and place it into the center of the pot with the opening of the fish bowl facing up. Place a heavy object inside the glass bowl to weigh it dow
