Mini Gumball Machine DIY

A Mini Gumball Machine is a fun and creative DIY project that uses simple materials like cardboard, PVC pipes, or plastic bottles to make a working candy dispenser. It’s perfect for kids, hobbyists, or anyone who loves playful and practical handmade projects.

Why Make a Mini Gumball Machine?

  • Fun & Interactive: Kids love using it to get candies or gumballs.

  • Low-Cost: Made from easily available materials.

  • Educational: Teaches basic mechanics like levers and gravity.

  • Customizable: Can be built in different sizes and designs.

Materials Needed

  • Cardboard, PVC pipe, or plastic container

  • Small round candies/gumballs

  • Plastic bottle cap or sliding mechanism

  • Glue, tape, and scissors

  • A transparent jar or bottle (to display candies)

How It Works

  1. Storage: Gumballs are stored in a transparent container.

  2. Mechanism: A rotating cap, slider, or lever releases one gumball at a time.

  3. Dispense: The candy falls through a PVC pipe or opening into the collection area.

DIY Tips
