Is there any ideas for using Pringles cans?

[everprincess]

I like using them for a roll of opened crackers. This way they don't go bad as quick and are easier for me to find in the kitchen. I don't if this would work but I used to use slim jims cansiters in my office to put pens, markers and pencils in. I would just wrap plain paper around it and mark it "writing instruments".

I would use them for simple storage ideas.

#1 school supplies (pencils, ball point pens, etc)--I stock up once a year and actually have enough to sort mine per color.
#2 game pieces.....marbles for chinese checkers, etc. Put em in Ziplocs if you need to really sort several and use a sharpie on the lid.
#3 trial sizes of meds I get in the mail.....or bandaids (esp when Wags puts em on sale for a buck and I stock up!!)
#4 trial size soaps, or lotions, shampoos, etc I get in the mail

You get the idea....if its something you need to reinforce it for, just put some card stock down in the tube, or you could cover the outside with construction paper or the larger Avery labels if you wanted and be creative on how you label them. They could also be laid on their side in a tight space with the lids marked for easy access!

This idea is also one I could do at my house for no additional charge to the pringles can, as I have all the supplies for the rest on hand from my school/school project/art supply stockpile!!

I've seen them used for mailing cookies. Pack cookies inside and place in another container.

ive never thought of using one for that, it sucks when you go to eat a cracker and the whole lot have been left out and gotten all yucky D:
thanks

I've actually seen them on Ebay before, lol made into a safe. Normally a thief wouldn't think to look at your Pringles can but after seeing it on Ebay that would be the FIRST place they would look.

I just looked and they are still selling them, lol. One of the sellers has it for 28.99, lol Go check it out. It has chips on the top like normal and then the "safe" is made on the bottom and unscrews for you to put your money. Says a thief won't think to look there but hello they are telling the thieves where to look with their auctions. The things people come up with.

Dog Toy: Place lid securely on container, hold in open palm & slam the side of it with your other hand (right in the middle area). Lid goes flying in the air. Repeat until bored or until dog kills lid.

Got these ideas from an awesome craft site.

-You can make them into a spaghetti noodle. Decorate the outside and then you can put your long noodles in a cute container!
-Decorate the outside (mode podge, wrapping paper) fill them up with cookies, tie a ribbon

I saw a site that suggested using them to make candles, or to giftwrap the outside and use it as a piggy bank.

Yup...I've done that with Crystal Light drink mix containers. (Though I didn't wrap them with anything, because I like the way the containers look by themselves.)

I am sure Pringles cans will work much better!
