Cutting Holes

For step 1 Start by cutting two holes. One on the top and one an inch from the bottom

Result should look like the picture above

Making the Tray

for this step you will need thin cardboard. Now cut it like I did in the picture but use wood glue instead of regular.

Gluing the Tray

Now on the flaps connecting to themselves glue them together. But on the open flaps slide the flat side underneath and glue. Now glue the open flaps to the cardboard box

Cardboard Surgery

Now open up the box. This step is very important so don't s̶c̶r̶e̶w̶ ̶u̶p̶ I mean mess up. Now cut two holes on opposite sides. Now on your cardboard roll cut a hole where the candy will go/fall into. Now insert it into the holes

Cardboard Surgery Part 2

now on the top hole put your plastic container in (dont add the candy yet) now back on the inside put a slope underneath the cardboard roll leading to the hole an inch from the bottom from Step 1. Now cut cardboard circles and with wood glue put it inside the roll but just on the outside

DECORATING

Now if you're lazy like me you can stop right now. BUT! If you want to go to the extra mile you can cut a V shape on your box and fill the V with hard plastic to show the small candy or you could wrap the box in wrapping paper! The possibilities are endless! Well thank you for reading and hopefully doing my intructable and with that, have an awesome day :)
