Use terra cotta pots for the base and a clear ornament filled with pom poms or beads for the top. Our mini terra cotta pots come in a pack of 12, so you can plan this as a fun group craft activity for program. This is a great idea for a Carnival or Arcade Theme. You can even make these yourself and give them as gifts!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 125%; text-align: left;\">Materials:<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border: 0 !important;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 0 !important; width: 400px;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/mini-terra-cotta-pots-PL792\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mini terra cotta pots<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/mini-hanging-baubles-AC1051\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fillable Ornaments<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/search\/index.php?q=Pom+Poms+assorted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pom poms<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/large-wooden-beads-BE403A\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">round beads<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/color-splash-acrylic-paint-PT3362001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Red acrylic paint <\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 0 !important;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/arts-and-crafts-supplies\/paint-brushes\/soft-bristle-brushes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paintbrush<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/search\/index.php?q=hot+glue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hot glue<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/sharpie-permanent-marker-fine-point-black-AS500\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Black marker<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/duck-tape-yards-AS658\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Duct tape<\/a> (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/color-splash-metallic-tempera-paint-PT3230\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">metallic paint<\/a> &amp; paper)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 125%; text-align: left;\">How to Make Mini Gumball Machines:<\/h2>\n<p>1. Paint the mini terra cotta pot with red acrylic paint. Let it dry.<\/p>\n<p>2. Draw a slot for the &#8220;candy&#8221; to come out with a black marker.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cut an oval piece of duct tape (or paint a piece of paper with metallic paint) and stick it to the pot. Write 25 cents with a black marker.<\/p>\n<p>4. Fill your ornament with either colorful pom poms or beads to represent the candy. If you use our snap together ornaments, glue a red pom pom for the top of the gumball machine. The top fill ornaments have their own removable top, and you can even fill them with actual candy if you&#8217;d like!<\/p>\n<p>5. Glue the ornament to the bottom of the mini terra cotta pot with hot glue.<\/p>\n<p>You can also add some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/arts-and-crafts-supplies\/knitting-and-crocheting\/yarn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">yarn<\/a>\u00a0through the top of the ornament for the option to hang up the mini gumball machine as a holiday decoration!<\/p>\n<p>We are always excited to see pics from other crafters that have used this idea to create their own fun project. Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/492649945169249\/activity\/tried\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">example from Pinterest<\/a>! This crafter used different candies, like Skittles and other mini candy. She also used bottle caps for the dispenser. Such a cool idea!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/492649945169249\/activity\/tried\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27857 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gumball-machine.png\" alt=\"gumball machine\" width=\"749\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gumball-machine.png 749w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gumball-machine-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gumball-machine-220x165.png 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gumball-machine-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make these cute mini gumball machines in just a few simple steps.
