A DIY pro has shown how to create a cute candy machine for Valentine’s Day.
All her items were from Dollar Tree, and she only used a hot glue gun and tape to put the craft together.
TikToker Jaz Hernandez (@jazzyjaymadeit) loves to share her tricks and tips online.
Within a week of posting her candy machine DIY, she garnered more than 125,000 views.
“Valentine’s Dollar Tree DIY Candy machine,” she captioned her post.
“Isn’t it cute?” Jaz asked. “Can put any items inside for a cute gift idea.”
The crafter started by placing a red plastic planter upside down and then gluing a clear punch bowl on top.
That created the base of the machine.
Once it was dried, Jaz added pink shredded paper to the clear bowl.
Then she added a pink monkey plushie, chocolate, a gift card, and a few more little treats.
Jaz encapsulated the items by placing a clear plastic bowl on top of the bottom one.
She used double-sided tape to adhere them together.
For the finishing touches, Jaz glued a plastic heart to the top of the machine.
She also glued a paper printout of a coin taker, a bow, and some hearts to the red part of the base.
People in the comments section were impressed with the craft.
“So creative Sis,” one person wrote.
“Omg this is too cute and neat,” a second wrote.
“I’m so jealous of all the creativity I’ve been seeing. So cute,” a third posted.
