3 easy crafts with Pringles can

Our first idea for how you can use a can of chips is to turn it into a great gift container. Those of you who like to make and give homemade cookies or other small sweets, but don’t know how to package them properly, can borrow this idea and use it whenever you need it! Let’s see what you need!
You’ll need:
- wrapping paper
- any decorations of your choice (ribbons, beads, etc.)
- double-sided tape
How to make a gift container for cookies:
1. Wash the can well to remove the smell of the chips. Dry it well.
2. Use wrapping paper by taping it to the outside of the can. It is easiest to wrap double stick tape around the can to stick the paper on top. Use a pretty ribbon in an appropriate color and make a bow. Add it to make the gift look even more festive. And why not stick a photo of you and the person you’re giving the cookies to? Great idea, isn’t it?
3. Arrange the biscuits (sweets) carefully on top of each other, covering them with baking paper.
4. We recommend you decorate the lid of the can as well.
5. Your gift is ready!
Spaghetti holder
Are you a spaghetti lover? Make a handy container to store them in! An empty potato chip can is a great item you can use to make this! That way, spaghetti won’t take up a lot of space, and they’ll always be easily accessible. Great, right?
You will need:
- colorful paper of your choice
- double-sided tape
- webbing (optional)
Instructions:
1. As with the gift container for cookies, simply wrap the can with double-sided tape and add colored paper on top to make the spaghetti holder more pleasing to the eye. Use your imagination and play with colors – let the ordinary Pringles can take on a new look.
2. Add webbing just below the neck of the box to hide any imperfections, if any. Or you can skip this step and leave it as it is.
3. If the spaghetti is too long, make a lid from another can of chips. And if they fit completely in their new container, just cover them with the lid.
Phone speaker
Want your phone to be louder? Make a speaker out of a can of Pringles. It’s ideal when you’re out in nature with friends (camping, picnicking, etc.)
You will need:
- wrapping paper
- double-sided tape
- wine corks
- superglue
- knife
- scissors
How to make a speaker?
1. You don’t need any special skills to make a Pringles speaker because it’s super easy! Start by using double-sided tape to stick the wrapping paper to make the speaker look good. (or you can miss this step, if you want to)
2. Make a hole in the box using a knife. Continue to cut with scissors, making a hole large enough for you to put a phone in.
3. At this point, when you put the phone in the can, the sound will be louder, but there needs to be something for the whole structure to stand on, otherwise it will tip over. Use wine corks and superglue to help lift the structure.
