So I have been wanting one of these turning gadgets from
HARBOR FREIGHT.....but I kept hearing stories about it having so many pieces and missing pieces....that was discouraging to me.........sooooooooo I recently saw this on
pinterest:
and that led me to the thrift store in which I purchased these items:
and then turned them into these items:
This was so easy to make, the only problem I had was trying to decide what color to do it....I may end up making another one all white a bit taller. Even the bottom part turns....that part was only $1.99....wow was I lucky to find the wooden spinner at the thrift store.
As far as the Gumball machine goes, I will recolor that one day to match my craft room and fill it with either yellow gumballs or vintage buttons......
