pringle cans

I love the altered pringle cans, but how do you get the chip smell and oil out of there?

I've yet to try using them, but I was thinking of just washing them out with a damp cloth, since they're lined with that "metal" lining. And maybe stuffing some newspaper inside for a few days to absorb the smell, as this works for tupperware and such with stinky smells in them.

You can put some baking soda in there or some crumpled up newspaper overnight will do the trick.

An alternative..... I buy my son gerber fruit/veggie puffs. They come in a plastic container shaped sort of like pringles. But, there's no oil/grease and it's waterproof. I'm planning to alter one soon. Just a thought.

I wasn't aware that newspaper took the smell out of such items. Thanks for the tip! The idea too!
