Crafts from under the chips. Here's what you can do with a regular Pringles can! Mold for making candles
Surely many people have met "Pringles" chips in stores - these are those that are sold in such an elongated jar, due to which they are more expensive. So, few people thought about what can be done from the Pringles can when it is empty of chips. In fact, there are a lot of ideas, from storage containers to some cool and versatile organizer. In today's article, we will look at some very interesting and simple ideas that will help turn an empty can of chips into something more original. Go!
Gift wrapping
So, the first thing you can do from a Pringles can is gift wrapping. At first glance, it may seem that a can of chips will not make a good gift box, but this is not so. All it takes is a little creativity, imagination, and decoration materials. For example, if you take a little gift paper, gently glue it to the jar, conjure a little over the lid, you can get a very interesting and beautiful packaging for any present.
Note: be sure to remember to wash the inside of the jar so that the smell of chips does not remain in it.
Candle mold
What else can you do from the Pringles Bank? How about a mold for making candles? Yes, this is also real, and the candles turn out to be even, neat and, most importantly, they are very easy to remove from the jar when the wax is completely solidified. Also, one cannot fail to say that when making candles of this size, the user can turn on imagination and make, for example, a multi-layered, multi-colored candle with different flavors.
Storage capacity
In third place on the list of things to do from a Pringles can is the storage container. It sounds simple enough, because the jar only needs to be washed, after which it can be used immediately. So yes, but don't forget about the creative approach. If you use the same gift wrapping paper, you can get a completely different result. Here, for example, how to arrange a container for storing pasta.
Also, crisp jars are often converted into containers for storing edible items such as cookies or homemade mini-muffins. It is very convenient, especially for those who like to travel and just walk. The jar does not take up much space, it can be safely put in a backpack, and when the feeling of hunger comes, there will always be something to eat.
Cotton pad dispenser
The next version of "Pringles" is useful for girls. The can can be easily converted into a dispenser for storage and serving. What do you need for this? In fact, nothing out of the ordinary: a stationery knife, a pencil, some colored wrapping paper, glue and a pack of cotton pads.
At the bottom on the jar, mark with a pencil a cutout for the future hole through which the discs will be fed. Then, using a clerical knife, carefully cut out the marked area. Now you need to paste over the jar with wrapping paper, and at the same time carefully glue the cutout so that the cardboard does not delaminate. The final touch - we open the lid, put cotton pads in the jar, close it and use it with pleasure.
Assistant for needlewomen
If you are doing needlework, for example, sewing, knitting, weaving from beads, then this is what you can do from the Pringles jar (photo below) - an organizer.
This thing is also called the "assistant for needlewomen". The main purpose of the finished item is to facilitate the storage of items needed for creativity and work. For example, a person has several rolls of colored ribbons or braid. He can easily make a narrow longitudinal cut through the entire can, place his skeins inside and bring the ends out through the finished hole. Thus, the rolls will never be lost, they will always be at hand, and they are convenient to use at the right time.
A similar thing is made for storing crochet hooks and knitting needles. The only thing to remember is that there is no need to make a longitudinal cut. All that needs to be done is the holes in the top cover to fit the knitting needles.
Also, do not forget that such a "helper for needlewomen" can be creatively decorated so that it does not look like a regular box of chips.
In this Instructable, we'll take a look at 3 more things you can do with your pot of chips.
If you are interested, you can watch the video version of this Instructable.
Step 1: Chip can hopper
In order to have more space in my food cabinet, I tried to stack the cans of canned tuna on top of each other. Unfortunately, the cans I use are not designed to be stacked, so they kept falling on my side.
I covered the Pringles can with adhesive paper to make it look more attractive.
Step 2: Chip can hopper
I cut two holes in the pipe: at the bottom, half a diameter, and a vertical narrow strip.
A jar of tuna can be taken out from the bottom hole, and through the other you can see how many cans are still in the pipe.
Now I don't have to worry about tipping the cans.
When you need a can of tuna, just pull it out. A new device from a can of chips will take its place in the closet.
This dispenser will always dispense cans one at a time - first arrived, first served!
Step 3: metal coasters
I cut off the bottom of a can of chips.
Step 4: metal coasters
Then I removed the "date of use".
That's all!
The bottom of the Pringles Chip Can is the perfect mug for a drink.
Step 5: maze game
I cut off the bottom and cleaned out the "date of use".
Step 6: maze game
I cut several strips of cardboard from a Pringles tube.
Step 7: maze game
I marked two points on the plate, between which the ball should be driven.
Step 8: maze game
When the paint was dry I put it there small ball(from some jewelry set) and closed the labyrinth with a lid. To keep it all together, I used scotch tape.
Now we can play our game - the Pringles labyrinth.
A pot of chips is a great project to do with your kids whenever you want to create your own game.
