Bubble Gum Machine
One of the most clever Christmas gifts I received this year was this faux gumball machine. I love that my friend even added some vinyl that says Hugs and Kisses and then filled the jar with just that.
I have seen this idea on several blogs and also found a couple tutorials here and here if you're interested in making your own.
The Dollar Tree carries the glass bowls just as a heads up.
Updated: I have gotten lots of questions about the lid. A smaller saucer is glued to the underside of the bigger saucer so the lid doesn't slide off. Here are a couple pictures to give you a better idea.

Is that from Pauline? Turned out really cute. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, have been wanting to try making my own for awhile now (it's on the to-do list). What is the black piece on the underside of the lid inside your bowl? I do not see that piece listed on the "how to" instructions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe underside of the lid is the smaller saucer (3 in) so the lid (4 in) doesn't slide off. Just glue in upside down to the bigger saucer and then paint.
ReplyDeletewhere do i find the directions to make this..

did you put something on the inside of the lid. I made these for valentines for my kids. The top sort of slides a bit. I was just wondering how you did yours because it looks different from mine. I'm brand new to the blogging and Pinterest ( which is how I found your site. my email is jennstep52@hotmail.com. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the sticker hugs and kisses. I can't seem to find them.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the sticker hugs and kisses. I can't seem to find them.
ReplyDeletewhat did you use for the knob/handle on the top?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of glue do you use to glue all this together?
ReplyDeleteIt's all put together with hot glue.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for the knob on top. The circle handle ?
ReplyDeleteThat is just so adorable. This would make great Christmas gifts. Thanka for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Must try. Thanx for posting!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the ball on top of the lid?
ReplyDeleteHow tall is the lettering for Hugs & Kisses, working on my Christmas presents and want to order the lettering.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
All together it's about 3 inches tall. The capital letters are about an inch. You can order the vinyl from Jill at www.utahvinyl.com. She may still have the template since she is the ome that cut the vinyl
DeleteThank you Kathy!
ReplyDeleteDid the gumball machine you received have a saucer under the ribbon, like the one in the instructions?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this idea!
ReplyDeletewhat is the knob made of or what did you use for the knob?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and who wouldnt want one of these?
You can get the knobs in the wooden section at Hobby Lobby. They come in a bag. You will need to paint them.
ReplyDeleteMaking 3 of these right now for christmas gifts cant wait to see how they turn out
ReplyDeleteJust made this for my mom for Christmas ;)
ReplyDeletei really loved this i am making a valentine one havent got it completely done bu it is cute so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the dimensions of the bowl? I guess if I use a larger bowl, I'll have to use a larger pot as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat an idea...i really like it.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I made one of these for her boyfriend a few years ago and bought a monogram Letter for His first name and put on the front.It turned out great! We just set the lid on top cuz it fit the bowl we bought.Then filled it with gumballs.He loved it!
ReplyDeleteLove love them. They will be a gift for everyone. TY

ReplyDeleteNice post.I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to make these for a benefit. Do you have all the detentions?
Ball
bowl
pot
lid- and under lid
Is there another lid between the pot and the glass bowl by the ribbon? .
Thank You so much.
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteGoing to try this next :) So neat!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea
ReplyDeleteOn the glue can you use a hot glue gun?
ReplyDeleteNo, hot glue wont hold well. E6000 works great!

I used Ace Hdw brand flat Valspar paint and tinted it a dark blue. Your child can use chalk and write on the painted service. Easy to erase mistakes! I used a medium shell for the handle. Any mistakes made? use shells or ribbons to cover it up.
ReplyDeleteCan u tell me how to contact vinyl decals from utah
DeleteI tried email didn't work n no number available
DeleteUtah Vinyl also has an Etsy site. I was able to contact Jill through it. The font of the words is called Marnie. Hope this info helps someone. Happy Crafting!
ReplyDeleteI really love this. Im planning to make these for some co-workers.
ReplyDeleteDo you glue it together first then paint it or paint it first, then glue it? Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat size is the bowl?
ReplyDeleteWhat size is the bowl?
ReplyDeleteNot sure on the exact size.
ReplyDeleteThe one you can get at Dollar Tree. I think it's a 4 inch opening.
Do you paint both sides of the saucer?
ReplyDeletehow tall is the entire product once it's all put together?
ReplyDeleteDo you use plastic or clay saucers and pots?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter wants teacher gifts this year for Christmas and this looks super cute. A couple of people have asked if you used a saucer under the glass bowl and haven't seen the answer? My guess is "no". But, the bow does block your sight.
ReplyDeleteYou're right there is no saucer under the glass. The glass bowl is glued directly to the base pot.
DeleteHI, I came across your blog and Love it!! Was wondering where to sign up for your newsletters.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Hugs, Teresa
What size pot did you use
ReplyDeletePros Cons Designed to be used with QuickFix Fake Urine, this product actually simulates a realistic penis peeing out the solution.. The penis, available in multiple colors/races, looks like the real thing and can store fake urine in a bag and realistically present the specimen – for whatever professional or personal reason you might have for doing such. The prosthetic is completely silent and you can wear it discreetly. While the company doesn’t say outright what the system is used for, it provides some ideas, such as scientific research, urine therapy, sexual fetishes, pranks, and animal repellent. However, it could also be used for drug testing and is said to be so realistic, it can pass for “wet sex simulation.” If you’re ever in an unfortunate and possibly disturbing situation where your boss demands to see you pee, well, you might be in luck.If you have an upcoming drug test, that means you'll need to provide a urine, hair, or blood sample to a medical laboratory. While it's not recommended that you provide false samples to a lab, there are some ways to clear your body of marijuana and other toxins.
