Introduction: Gumball Machine Valentines (with Free Printable)
Here are the gumball valentines that I designed. I think they turned out really cute. Hope you like them! Here is the tutorial and free printable, so you can make them too!
Step 1:
Get the PDF to print the bottom part of the valentine here.
You can print it on any color paper card stock that you wish.
Step 2:
Put gum balls in a bag, about 10 of them.
I used fold top sandwich bags for the gum balls,
but you can also use plastic wrap or other small clear baggies.
Step 3:
Tie the bag closed.
I tied the bag with yarn,
but any string would work.
Step 4:
Gather the end of the bag and tape to
the back of the printed portion of the valentine.
Step 5:
Trim the end of the bag,
so it looks nice and doesn't hang
past the end of the valentine.
Step 6:
Turn over...
Finished!
Step 7:
Hope that you like them!
** (p.s. You can use any candy in place of the gumballs.
they would look really cute with M&Ms too!)**
