I have been scouring craigslist and ebay for one of these little guys. I've seen so many fabulous makeovers and wanted one of my very own. I stumbled upon it last weekend while checking out the nester's yard sale. Well, actually my friend spotted it at a nearby yard sale and we made a beeline for it. He was asking $25 (which I would have paid) but I haggled him down to $22, I don't know what came over me! However, that $3 covered the spraypaint I needed to transform this into something a little more special. I'm still searching for something just right to fill it with. I would like something white to go with the whole monochramatic thing. Right now I'm thinking buttermints or perhaps white m & m's. I know I could just do gumballs since it is a gumball machine but I want to do something a little different.
I tried these little pumpkins...
I thought they would be perfect, festive and I love these things! First turn, great...out came a perfect little pumpkin. Second turn, disaster! It crushed them to pieces! So, back to the drawing board...
Anyways, on to the fun stuff...The before...
and the after...
Any ideas on what I could put in it? I want it to be edible not just decorative.
