My sister and I were
gumball machines when we were little girls! They were so cute! My mom bought us
red tights, leotards, and red beret hats, and cut out two sheets of thick,
flexible clear plastic (I think she got this at a fabric store) in a dome shape.
She sewed the seams up with red yarn, leaving holes at the neck and legs. She
then filled the domes with colored latex balloons! Voila! Gumball Machines! They
were such cute costumes! -- Kathi from WA
