While thinking of Pringle’s potato chips, the images that come to mind are uniformly shaped chips in unique tubular containers. It seems a shame to throw away perfectly good Pringle’s potato chip canisters, so don’t throw them away. Pringle’s potato chip containers have a number of fantastic uses.
The following creative uses are great ways to recycle containers that would otherwise end up in landfills, so consider the following creative uses when you have an empty container of Pringle’s potato chips. The uses for empty Pringle’s canisters are numerous, and you’ll be amazed at the ingenious ways you can use them.
Homemade Cookie Containers
If you’re looking for uses for empty Pringle’s canisters, this is one of the best uses for those who love baking. How many times have you baked homemade cookies, put them in a container with a lid, and ended up overfilling the container and breaking several cookies in the process? Empty Pringle’s potato chip containers are the solution for keeping your homemade cookies from breaking.
After emptying your Pringle’s potato chip containers, save them for storing homemade cookies. They’re just the right size, and you can easily fit a dozen or more thick, chewy homemade cookies into the handy tubular containers. Storing your homemade cookies in empty Pringle’s containers will keep them whole and as fresh as the day they were made, and the last cookie won’t crumble.
Have a Wet Paint Roller?
Painting can be a real chore, and sometimes it’s necessary to stop painting long enough to take a break, but if you’re using a roller, you certainly don’t want to stop for too long. The paint on the roller will begin to dry out almost immediately, and if the paint dries on the roller, you’ll have to throw it away and replace it with a new one.
If you’re working with short nap rollers, you can keep your rollers from drying out by slipping them into empty Pringle’s containers. Just slide the roller into the canister, snap on the lid, and the paint covered roller will stay moist and ready to use when break time is over.
Make Pillar Candles
Those who enjoy making candles are always looking for new candle molds, and if you’re a candle maker, this is sure to be one of your favorite uses for a very versatile container. If you want a beautiful cylindrical pillar candle, use Pringle’s potato chip containers for candle molds.
Lightly rinse and thoroughly dry Pringle’s potato chip containers, and use them as molds for your favorite candle making projects. You’ll be very pleased with the finished results.
If you like to knit or crochet and sometimes lose track of your needles or hooks, a Pringle’s potato chip container can be a big help. Store them in an empty Pringle’s potato chip container, and you’ll never lose your knitting needles or crochet hooks again. If you lose your potato chip canister, you’re unfortunately out of luck!
Storing artist’s brushes is another one of the best uses for empty potato chip canisters. I’m a painter, and storing my brushes in a potato chip canister keeps the bristles in place, and they’re easily accessible while painting.
If you’re considering giving gifts of homemade caramel corn or other tasty treats, a Pringle’s potato chip container makes a great gift box. The treats will stay fresh, and they’ll be easy to store and serve.
Decorate potato chip canisters by covering them with prepasted wallpaper or contact paper, and top the containers with pretty bows to match the occasion. The recipient will love the pretty container, and the contents will stay fresh and tasty until the last morsel is gone.
