By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Create a cool can to carry your pencils using a Pringles potato chip canister.

Materials Needed:

  • Potato Chip Canister with Cover (Pringles)
  • Supplies to Decorate
  • Glue
Instructions:
Wash out the can using soap and water; dry completely.

Now, make a personalized pencil carrier by decorating the outside of the canister! You are only limited by the supplies you have and your own imagination. Here are some suggestions for you:

  • Draw or paint designs on a piece of construction paper. Glue it around the canister.
  • Cover the canister with colorful wallpaper samples.
  • Cover the canister with special wrapping paper.
  • Cover or paint the canister and decorate it with stickers, rubber stamps, etc.
  • Embellish your canister with fabric scraps, ribbon, buttons, beads, and anything else you can think of!
