Candy Dispenser

This is my version of i dispensor i saw in boys life

MATERIALS
1. 2.. 2*4 7in long
2. 2.. 8.5 in long by 7in wide
3. 2.. 13in long 1.5in wide
1/2" drill bit
sandaper
1 1/2" screws
Jar with lid that fits well (I used a pickle jar)

I used scrap wood the import part is that the top and bottom boards are the same lengh as the 2*4s and the center together

Attach 2x4's to the bottom square leaving enough space to insert the handle. Place 2 screws on either side of the 2x4's to hold it in place.

Screw top square in place by putting a screw in each of the 4 corners.

Put a 1/2" hole in the center of the top piece of wood. Put a 1/2" hole in the center of the jar's lid. Using some small screws, line up the holes and attach the lid to the wood.

*CAREFUL: METAL IS SHARP*

Insert the handle leaving 1/2" space in the back. Mark through the hole in the top where you want the hole in your handle. Take out the handle and drill 1/2" hole into the handle, but DO NOT DRILL ALL THE WAY THROUGH. If you do, your candy will fall out.

Place a screw in the back of the handle to stop the handle from sliding out when you pull it. Place a screw in the front so you can pull the handle out easily.

Sand everything down to your liking. Paint if you want it to feel pretty.

Fill your jar with candy (something smaller than 1/2" like jelly beans or chocolate chips)

Invert the wooden part and screw your jar on.

Flip right-side-up, pull out the handle, and eat your candy!

To make festive for Halloween, gut a large pumpkin large enough to fit over your jar. Paint a face on the pumpkin.
