Creating custom prizes for your toy crane machine can be both fun and cost-effective! Start by repurposing small items from around your home - think keychains, collectible figures, or even handmade friendship bracelets. For a personalized touch, design miniature mystery boxes using small cardboard containers decorated with colorful paper. You can craft simple plush toys by sewing small fabric shapes and stuffing them with cotton, adding unique faces with fabric markers. Another great idea involves making custom sticker sheets or laminated bookmarks that fit perfectly in the machine. Always ensure your homemade prizes are lightweight enough for the crane to lift and have no sharp edges. Get creative with themes - seasonal decorations, popular character inspirations, or glow-in-the-dark elements can make your prizes extra special. Remember to test each prize in the machine to guarantee proper functionality while maintaining that exciting prize-grabbing experience everyone loves!
