Transforming your toy crane machine with homemade prizes adds a personal touch and saves money. Start by gathering simple materials like fabric scraps, empty plastic capsules, and small containers. For quick plush toys, cut felt into simple shapes like stars or hearts, stitch them together with polyester stuffing, and add googly eyes for character. Create mystery prizes by filling plastic eggs with miniature toys, stickers, or handwritten vouchers for special treats. Customize wooden tokens with acrylic paint to make redeemable coins for larger prizes. Repurpose small party favors or keychains by attaching durable metal rings for easy grabbing. Ensure all prizes are lightweight and properly balanced for the claw mechanism. Arrange prizes creatively in the machine, mixing sizes and textures to make grabbing more engaging. Regular rotation of homemade prizes maintains excitement and encourages repeated play. With these DIY approaches, you can constantly refresh your crane machine's appeal while expressing creativity through customized rewards.
