Not really one of Ana's projects here. I saw a candy dispenser similar to this on a sale page for $70 dollars. I did not like the design, so I drew up a plan that allowed me to use dimensional lumber. I made all of these from scraps plus the cost of a wide mouth quart mason jar. I have less than two dollars in each one. If you have to buy the lumber your cost is still about $2.75 each where I live. A lot cheaper than $70.00. Lol.
I will be staining and finishing them tomorrow morning. Any hard shell candy works great in them. Skittles, M&Ms plain, peanut, and Reeses Pieces work really good. Jelly beans work good too.
I have a rough drawing of my plan, but I can refine it a little if someone wants to make these. These are for my grandchildren and a friends children. - Ted Mann

Candy DIspenser
Interested in making one these.
Trying to understand the slide measurements
Is it 2 1/2 inches wide, 1 1/2 inches tall , and 5 1/2 inches long
Not sure on what the two 1 1/4 inch holes are to be done.
