Start with your plastic cup, ornament and gumballs. If you want to pop a couple in your mouth while you work, it's ok. I felt compelled to do the same thing.
Fill the ornament with the rest of the gumballs (that you didn't put in your mouth) and put the top back on the ornament.
The party colors were hot pink and lime green. I was so happy I had a few left over for this project. If you can't find this pink, red cups will still be fantastic.cups, they
Get the scissors and start cutting the bottom of the cup out, following the path around the first wavy line on the cup.
Take the double-sided tape and run it along the inside of the cup to help secure the ornament. If you want it really secure, you could use super glue, I suppose.
When your ornament is secure, download the printable heart and get the double-sided tape back out. You can either use tape, glue or sticker paper. It's up to you!

Mindful Selection of Cup Color: While hot pink and lime green cups contribute to a vibrant Valentine's Day theme, feel free to adapt the colors to suit your preferences or available supplies. Red cups can serve as an equally festive alternative, ensuring your Valentine Bubblegum Machines remain visually appealing and fitting for the occasion.
Precision Cutting for Cup Modification: When cutting the bottom of the plastic cup, follow the first wavy line carefully to ensure a clean and uniform removal. This step is crucial for creating a stable base for your bubblegum machine. Take your time and use sharp scissors for the best results, maintaining the integrity of the cup structure.
Choosing Adhesive for Secure Assembly: While double-sided tape offers convenience for attaching the ornament to the cup, consider using super glue for added durability, especially if you plan to transport or display the Valentine Bubblegum Machines. Prioritize securing the ornament firmly in place to prevent accidental detachment. Additionally, for affixing the printable heart, you have the flexibility to use tape, glue, or sticker paper based on your preference and availability of materials. Select the option that ensures the heart remains securely attached to the cup, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the finished project.
