How about making a super mini capsule toy machine that fits in the palm of your hand? You might think it’s too small and tricky to build, but if you make each part and then just assemble them into the main body, it’s easier than you’d expect.

To measure precisely and build accurately, using graph-ruled craft paper makes the process smoother and is highly recommended.

For the window section, you can even use clear film from candy packaging as a part.

Try filling it with small candies and have fun with it!

Here’s an idea for making a gacha machine using construction paper, which makes it easy to create even intricate mechanisms.

A plastic bottle is used for the dial.

The mechanism is detailed, but since you can assemble it in an open, flat state, it’s easy to build.

Be careful when using a utility knife on the plastic bottle and avoid injuring yourself on the cut edges.

Using a magnet as a stopper is a nice touch: when you insert a coin, the stopper releases and you can turn the dial—just like a real machine!

Let’s make a capsule toy machine that makes use of candy boxes as packaging! The cool thing about this machine is that you can change what comes out depending on whether you turn the dial to the right or to the left.

Press in the bottom part of the box so it forms a slope.

If you use an empty cylindrical candy container for the turning dial, you’ll have an adorable candy-themed capsule machine! Of course, you can fill it with the candies that came in the box, and you could even put in one different candy or a special “winner” prize inside!
