This is the tutorial for my awesome Printable Vending Machine, featured in my Elf Prop printable set "DEERLAND UNIVERSITY!"Hey hey, if you would like to purchase the adorable kit...click here!
To start off, make sure ALL your pieces are cut out!
-Cut out the middle of the this piece
-cut the bottom edge of "retrieve here!"
(So it looks like this!)
Crease this!
and this!
Flip the back back, attach tabs! Sturdy glue or tape works the best!
(attach tabs to both sides!)
FREEZE! Put this aside for a second!
Cut out a few cheddar straws!! We're going to fold them!!
Glue tab so it starts to make a "pouch shape".....
Like this!!
Pinch in the top and bottom so it looks like a Pizza Pocket!
Then add a rolled piece of tape...
Then keep making and attaching like this!
FREEZE!! (Chinese fire drill and go back to the front piece!)
Add tape very carefully to the front (mine had a bunch of air bubbles, and is clearly not the best example)
It's trick! Try using a credit card to smooth things out!!
TAPE BOTH SIDES!! Packaging tape is quick and less difficult!
After you tape, attach the front piece to the rest!
I taped all around!
Then we attach the bottom
As you may have noticed, the second layer of the vending machine gets in the way if the tab.
So, you must cut into her tab so it can easily slide around the second layer.
See it worked! Add tape to the outside edge and TA DA!
Note: when I took pictures of this tutorial, I did not have a matching top piece!
In the first picture, you will see a white piece (that was my decoy piece),
but in her printable there is a peice that matches the vending machine

Just last night right before scripture study, I came across a quote on Pinterest by Dieter F. Uchtdorf that I just fell in love with.
After I came across this quote, I came across this verse in my scripture study. I remember this verse from scripture mastery, but I saw it in a new perspective after President Uchtodorf's insight.
I will never forget sitting in my 9th grade seminary class, and having my seminary teacher, Brother Harding reading this verse with such zeal and love for the scriptures. He would recite, "Oh the cunning plan of the evil one! Oh the vainness and frailties and the foolishness of men," in such a deep, strong voice that sounded like an earthquake. I was very familiar with this scripture, and can always imagine dear Brother Harding's voice. But this time when I read it, I was blown away when I discovered a new connection I had not seen before.After I got the lines about the adversary, the Holy Ghost came to me powerfully as I read, "they hearken not unto the counsel of God, and they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves."
"Supposing they know of themselves."
Think about all the titles people give one another. Some are based on how we look, social statuses, occupations, friend cliches, cool kids, nerds, cheerleaders etc. Our social interactions give us titles, good and bad, that slowly become apart of us (which can also be good or bad). Many of these distinguish us and set us apart.
Based on other people's opinions of us, we see us as those views. Someone points out a flaw in our figure, and seems an impossible task to get past looking at that flaw every single time in the mirror.
We diminish ourselves because of our flaws, imperfections, and because we are not perfectly polished. There are people who see you as part of a beauty contest, or IQ test, or merely associate you in a ranks and categories.Slowly over time, if we are not careful, our view of ourselves could become 100% dependent on others opinions of us, with absolutely no foundation of our individual worth discovered by us individually.
Confidence is Key!
I remember an example of someone who put her worth 100% dependent on what others thought of her, specifically what other young men thought of her. After she never got asked to a dance in Jr. High (granted, this was Jr. High, nobody asked anybody to those dances), she ran to her locker in a frantic sob. Her fake eyelashes were falling off, she was trying to hold back tears, and her friends were trying to comfort her. If this Young Woman had found her own worth, she would have been resilient and confident, knowing that she was worth more than the boy that didn't ask her to the dance.
That's what people are missing: their own authentic view of themselves.
Granted, not all people's views of us are set out to pull us down. People love us, compliment us, and see us as God does.So if we put all of the useless opinions to the side, and allow God's point of you of us (and the uplifting views from others) become the view of ourselves: we will see something truly beautiful.Just like the verse and quote, we must turn to God to truly know of ourselves.
Now we just need to believe it!
Believe you are worth people's time, you do deserve respect, and you are a daughter of God precious with divine potential.
This is my all time favorite song (and the fact it is from Veggie Tales makes it that much better). Whenever I feel not worth it, this song is a such a comfort! Just take a minute, listen to the words, and see you as God see's you!
