While we were planning the Springsteen party, my mom said she wanted to get a gumball machine, only she didn't know where to buy one, and she didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. I had seen this pin on Tracy's board, and I thought it would be perfect for the party!
Because I was in Chicago, my mom (who is very crafty herself) was going to have to make it, because I was not attempting to bring it on the plane. My mom doesn't have Pinterest (although she probably should!), so when I said I found something on there, she thought I was talking about some crazy Martha Stewart project that never comes out exactly right and just makes you angry (I do love Martha, but sometimes her projects drive me crazy!). I explained that Pinterest crafts are by regular people, with nice normal instructions so they are totally doable!
After hearing that, she wanted me to send her the link to the directions.
We already had the clear glass bowl, so all she had to do was buy a pot, and some red paint (which we may have already had too...I'm not sure, I was in Chicago making pinwheels all night!).
My mom said it was super easy to make, and we both loved how this project came out! It was a hit at the party, by the end of the night, everyone was chewing gum and having bubble blowing contests!
