A visitor, Undeceived, explains how to make a fun container using a Pringles potato chip container.

Materials Needed:

  • Pringle Containers
  • Items to Decorate (see below)
  • Glue
Instructions:
I have used Pringles containers for Christmas goodies that I am going to mail many times. You clean out the inside with paper towels letting them absorb most of the oil that might be left in the can. Then using paper, fabric, or wrapping paper cover the outside. Hot glue works best for the fabric and wrapping paper; white glue or tacky glue is sometimes better for construction paper. Decorate the outside in whatever manner you like.

Once the outside is decorated, put waxed paper inside, lining the tube. You can stack cookies into the can just like the chips used to be. If there is a little space at the top and another cookie won't fit you can use a little waxed paper to act as packing. Put the top back on and you have a wonderful cookie gift for friends, etc.
