With cabin fever being the most real thing on the planet when the highs are barely breaking 10°, it makes wanting to work outside become obsolete. I mean, who loves to freeze their tootsies off for a DIY project, am I right? So...I've been on a mini makeover vibe to keep my brain sane. Here's a handmade gumball machine that definitely needs a new lease on life. Handmade Gumball Machine Before | prodigalpieces.com Would you have guessed it is a gumball machine? Pretty dirty, is busted in a few ways, but...I'm a sucker for vintage, especially handmade. Let's have some fun!

DIY TIME

As you can imagine, I can't wait to clean this up and give it a fresh new look. The interior ramp is falling out, the dispenser is missing a dowel, and it's kinda wonky look. Also, the nails inside are a bit bent and loose as well. After fixing those things, I begin my paint fun. Red for the exterior (aiming for vintage red gumball machine look). Meanwhile, white for the inside. And, of course, a bit of typography is going to happen too. tee hee. Painting Handmade Gumball Machine Interior | prodigalpieces.com

I would have never guessed that was a gumball machine. Wow, you did it justice - love the fun makeover! If it weren't for living in Canada, I would grab this in a heartbeat for our grandkids.

Hi Larissa, I guessed incorrectly, I thought it was some sort of a handmade game. But nope, it is just the sweetest gumball machine ever! Your updates certainly make her much more appealing and useable now. Well done girl!!

I'd guessed a marble game as well. The gumball option is so much sweeter. ::wink, wink::
