The finished gumball machine ornament for kids to cut, color and glue together. |
To make a simple cardboard ornament like this one with your kids you will need the following art supplies: colored pencils, cardboard, pom-poms, a recycled metal spout from a salt box, white school glue, hot glue gun and glue, the pattern to trace around (it is located here.), a wire hook for hanging the finished gumball machine ornament.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Download and print out the pattern with a template for the gumball machine.
- Cut out the gumball pattern and trace around it on top of a nice piece of cardboard using a soft lead pencil.
- Cut out the cardboard background and draw in the rest of the design lightly to look just like the photo of our gumball Christmas ornament on the right.
- Color in the globe with a pale blue pencil and color in the stand for the gumball machine with a bright red pencil.
- Now glue in colorful pom-poms to act as "gumballs" for your candy machine.
- Ask an adult to help you hot glue on the metal salt spout and then glue another pom-pom inside of this at last.
- Poke a hole at the top of the gumball machine and work a wire hanger through it for hanging on the tree.
