Faux Gumball Machines!

Hi Everyone!  Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are enjoying your day!  I wanted to share these faux gumball machines I made for my daughter's birthday party this weekend!  I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought they would be great party favors.  They are very easy to make and super inexpensive.  I don't know about you, but those traditional party favor bags always cost me WAY too much!  LOL!
I purchased 4-5" pots and saucers at AC Moore a couple of weeks ago when they were 50% off and the bowls are also from AC Moore for $1.  The round balls on top of the saucer at found at any craft store.  The hole on the front of the pot is a doll pin holder and those I found at a local scrapbook/craft store.  I couldn't find those at the big craft stores.  I used E6000 glue to adhere everything together.  And just regular acrylic craft paint to paint the red parts.  I love how they turned out!  They measure about 10-11" tall; I am guessing.  Now, all I need are the gumballs and I am all set!  Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!  =0)
