Bubble gum machine lamp

I bought the kids a bubble gum machine with plans to fill it with candy and use it as a reward system. This bubble gum machine was rigged to give out candy money or no money paid. Hmm. That's not going to work for us. So yesterday I thought it would make a pretty cool night lamp. So I took apart a small lamp and inserted it into the machine. I used a bowl inside to stabilize the light fixture and then added colorful marbles and a 10 watt bulb. Best part is the globe is thick plastic. I've had a hard time finding a light made for rambunctious kiddos. This is a fun repurpose project. So if you end up trying this please share.
