DIY Gumball Machine

My first post! I’m excited to be a contributing to Pretty Pink Posh! Thank you everyone for such nice comments and the warm welcome.

In this post I’ll be showing you a step by step tutorial on how to create your own gumball machine. Since Valentine’s Day is coming soon, there are many cute candies you could fill this with.

Step 2: Flip the flower pot upside down and (using the hot glue gun) place four dots on equal sides of the pot. Immediately place the vase on top of the hot glue and press down.

Step 3: Place the saucer on top of the vase to cover the opening. Use the hot glue gun to place a dot onto the center of the saucer and immediately put the marble on top. Dry.
