While the larger one is more sturdy and a more permanent candy dish, the smaller one is perfect for a Valentine’s Day class treat or a special thank you. In the end I actually put together two different gumball machines, a larger one and a mini one. Of course I also bought a package of assorted chocolate truffles that will be making their way into the candy dispenser at some point. It’s a great alternative for anyone who prefers a non-candy treat. My candy machine sits in the living room and my kids get to give a sticker to anyone who comes to visit.

And the wooden ball gets glued to the top of the upside down saucer to turn it into a lid. The glass bowl gets glued to the top of the upside down clay pot.

The saucer served as the lid so you’ll need to spray paint it entirely. The first step was to spray paint my terra cotta clay pot, saucer, and the wooden ball that will serve as the knob for the lid. And that the bowl fits nicely on top of the bottom of the clay pot. When picking out your supplies make sure the saucer fits over the top of the glass bowl to serve as the lid. Then I realized with a few supplies I could make my own diy gumball machine! I’ve seen a few people get lucky and find one at a thrift store, but I’ve never seen one. My kids, and all her grandkids, love that candy dispenser. I use parentheses around ‘gumball’ because it’s always filled with candy but never gum. My mother-in-law has had a plastic ‘gumball’ machine I think since my husband and I were dating.
