Cute Gumball Machine

Remember that Gumball Machine I found at a thrift store for $3. I finally made it over. I had to find a globe for it. Thank goodness for EBay, I found one on there.

After cleaning it, I sprayed it white.

I have a tip for any Carousel Gumball owners. The 1” gumballs are too large. We bought the double bubble gumballs (so yummy) at the local candy store, but they are too big. I even scooped out just Halloween colors. The next batch I’ll order online.

Now, I just have to decide where it’s permanent home will be.

Really cute! I've always thought gum balls are a fun touch. I have a tall vase full of them on my desk. Just for decoration, though (:

Yours looks just like one my sister had when we were growing up. I've always wanted one. I'm going to be on the lookout now that you've inspired me. :o) Visiting from Coastal Charm's NTT. Happy Thrifting! :o) Larri at Seams Inspired

Wow! It came out great. Painting it white made it so much more sophisticated.

Love this! We found one in red, left it read but just cleaned it VERY very well. Hubby wants to find a stand for it...we're on the lookout...

This is so neat! What a cool thing to have in your home. My best friend growing up had one, and I was always so jealous. It looks great!
