I spent the rainy weekend making miniatures. I have made a tiny chest of drawers before (although never with leftover torrone boxes), but the wee gum ball machine was a moment of pure Lilliputian inspiration.
I’m planning to bring my creations to school and install them in the shoebox house that the students have been building in our library makerspace. Fingers crossed that they will flip out.
If you are so inclined to make your own mini gum ball machine, you need one of those plastic bubbles (which, yes, come from gum ball machines); colorful teeny beads, and some sort of spool. I think you can intuit the rest but make sure to arm yourself with a hot glue gun.
Happy 2016, folks~

Adorable! Your library kids will love it.
Thank you!
I once spent a few weeks photographing Stompers tiny creations–mostly little lines of beads or stacks of stones or dominos. These remind me of that–such pleasure in small things!
Oh, Stomper creations! The most amazing, creative souls led by their creative, insightful teacher! xoxo
