Faux Christmas Gumball Machine

"This is a really fast and fun craft to make with a very short supply list. You need a flower pot, a clear glass bowl vase, a jar lid and a round wood ball. The tutorial supplies a free printable coin slot that you print out to make it look more like a gumball machine. You can fill it with candy like Christmas M&Ms or peppermints, or jingle bells.
