– Mod Podge
– hot glue gun and glue
– adhesive vinyl {mine is chalkboard}
– cutting machine or scissors
– chalk or chalk paint pen
Truth is, it’s actually pretty fantastic for three reasons.
1. He has an absolute ball and stays focused for the whole project.
2. I don’t have to clean paintbrushes.
3. It makes a really neat marbleized effect on the project.
Oh, you also have to paint the wooden ball. We made ours black. Let all that dry.
STEP 2: Cover entire painted surface with Mod Podge to seal the paint. We used Super Gloss to make it nice and shiny, but you can use whatever formula you like best.
STEP 3: Glue bowl to the bottom of the pot. Glue bead to the bottom of the saucer.
STEP 4: Fill bowl with candy and place saucer on top as a lid.
There you have it…a quick, fun, inexpensive project that will add a little whimsy to your home decor. You can make it seasonal, or leave it out year-round. One of the great things about using chalkboard vinyl is that you can change the message whenever you like!

Amy, I’ve made these before but never by finger painting! I LOVE how LC’s painting technique adds cool dimension to the color and really makes for a gorgeous “machine”! I’ll have to remember to use my fingers next time! 😉

I think I’d need to use a plastic bowl…..my kids would slam the top down and shatter that glass bowl! I will be making two of these!

Guess I’ll have to try making these myself since I have nothing else to do on weekends. This will keep me busy. I don’t like to be unproductive even for a day. Thanks for the idea. The kids will enjoy making these too. 🙂
