Holiday Gift Containers using Chip Cans
I love when a plan comes together like this one…..
well sort of
The plan was for my husband to buy a COUPLE of Pringles cans that I could use for this project at the grocery store.
Easy enough, right?
Well a couple turned in to 2, then 4, then 18, then 227.
Honestly, no joke.
Here’s more evidence of the Pringles can obsession
So instead of the original ‘couple’ that I needed to do this
I was also able to do this
and have enough left over to do this
So I guess the failed plan wasn’t so bad after all since I was able to package all 103 containers of Christmas Cookies, all 54 Chocolate dipped pretzel tips and all 70 presents.
My part was easy. I just applied some tacky spray over the cans that I spray painted in white
( this will help to conceal the original packaging) with a fun festive cotton fabric and finished off the edges with fun embellishments of boa feathers and other pretty trims.
We now have a new rule in the house- NO MORE PRINGLES!
And if you are looking for something a little less crunchy and salty, a few of my favorite friends put together some more creative ways to gift wrap this season.

What a great idea! My kids love Pringles so finding cans is not an issue. These are great year round for all sorts of gifting. Thanks for sharing.
Very creative! You gave me a great idea for next year, except I will buy the original pringles, dip them in chocolate and sprinkles, and replace them in the can as gifts.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was
good. I do not know who you are
but definitely you're going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

Love this idea – and my oh my, you have been a busy busy girl! Take care, Laura
So clever! And now it looks as if you need to bake even more cookies and dip even more pretzel sticks!
🙂 Linda
Ok..these are just super cute and oh so clever! Perfection Laura!
Ha! Who knew how dangerous your request would be! I write a blog about gift wrapping and I love seeing others' creative ideas. The boa trim is my favorite. Thanks for sharing with us!
So, SO very cute!!
I don't like pringles either, so now I'm gonna google a recipe made with pringles so I can get them outta the can. It's the fur, the white fur – I love that part.

Love all your ideas!!… My granddaughter and I love to cover "oatmeal containers" for gifts to her parents…
