Gumball Machine - Eraser Dispenser

Hello, Friends! Marilyn here with another back-to-school project for my DILs who are both elementary teachers. I found some Pinterest inspiration and just had to make a Gumball Machine / Eraser Dispenser!

Here's what you'll need for this project:

Gumball Machine - I found mine at our local mall in a candy shop. $29 each.
Colorful Erasers - It took 432 erasers to fill the gumball machine. Total cost of $30.
Square1 Printable / Repositional - 1 sheet approximately $1.
Images - from Silhouette Store (Pencil design #3764) (Eraser design #24447)
Ink Jet Printer
Silhouette cutter

Pinterest Inspiration

Step 1: The process to make this is very simple. Start with a Gumball Machine:

12" Gumball Machine - cost $29

The man at the candy store where the gumball machine was purchased gave instructions on how to make the machine work without coins. I did this first before proceeding with other steps.

Step 2: Fill with colorful erasers:

432 erasers in this gumball machine. Total cost of erasers was $30

Step 3: Design:

I used a couple of designs found in the Silhouette store. I added text to the pencil to personalize. Set your images to cut outline - making it a Print and Cut image.

Step 4: Print and Cut:

Add registration marks and send to your printer after loading a sheet of Square1. Cut images out using Silhouette.

Step 5: Add images to Gumball Machine:

The Square1 will behave like a sticker and feel like fabric. It will stay in place until you are are ready to remove.

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by ~ Marilyn
