Building the Candy Containers
First the supplies you are going to need is a piece of trifold poster board, cardboard cutter, hot glue gun, popsicle sticks, bamboo skewers, and pen springs. First measure and trace the given measurements of the candy container boxes. When your done get your cardboard cutter and cut the pieces out. Then get pieces 3 and two popsicle sticks. Cut the two popsicle sticks to the same exact measurement of pieces 3. After that get your hot glue gun and glue pieces 3 and two popsicle sticks together. When your done get pieces 2 and get the pieces 3 and glue pieces 3 close to the bottom of piece 2. When you finished get piece 1 and glue pieces 2 on the sides of piece 1. Then get piece 4 and a popsicle stick and cut it down to the middle. Glue the popsicle stick on the side of piece 4. After get piece 4 and glue it on the inside of the box container.

Putting on the Lid
Cut a piece of the cardboard and tape and tape it to your dispenser and you are done.
Adding the an Original Design Vinyl
First get the supplies that you are going to need and that is your Vinyl, Scissors, and Hot glue gun. First get your Vinyl and cut a strip off. Then cut the strip into square pieces. After that peel the white paper side and keep the clear sticky side. After that use the hot glue gun and glue the clear sticky side to the box containers that we made earlier. When you finished let’s get to decorating.
Choosing Your Candies
When choosing your candies I would recommend candies that would fit through the box containers. In the picture you could see the options of candy I picked. You can pick your favorite candy but I recommend that you pick candy that is little enough to fit through the containers.
Decorating and Attaching the Buttons
First get leftover cardboard to use for the buttons. Then what I did was get a image from google to draw on my cardboard. For example I got m and m candy so I drew the yellow m and m character. When you finished drawing the logos or the characters for your candy get your paints. Paint your characters or logos. When you are finished get your scissors or box cutter and cut out your character or logo. Then you are finished decorating now we have to attach the buttons. When you finished decorating the buttons cut a little slit in the cardboard but don’t cut it all the way through. Get your hot glue gun and put a little bit in the slit and glue it to the end of the popsicle stick. Then there you finished.
Decorating the Candy Dispenser
Supplies your are going to need is image from google, paper, scissors, pencil, paint, and paint brush. First get a image of the red m and m character. Then get a paper and trace the image from google. When you drew it on your paper cut it out. Next, get tape and put some tape on the back of the drawing and tape it on the back of your candy dispenser. Get your pencil and start to trace the image then when you finish take the paper off. Next add the details to your drawing and take out your paint and paint brushed. The colors that you are going to need are red, white, and peach. When you are finish you can decide to leave it like that or add more decoration. At the end there is a picture of what I did I hope you get inspired by it.
Filling It With Candy
To finish it off get leftover cardboard and cut it into a rectangle. When you finish put it in the containers and there you finished. Now comes the fun part get your candies and fill it up in your containers.
