For some reason, I'm a huge Pringle can hoarder!! I usually use them at Christmas time to put cookies, homemade trail mix, etc. in and have used them to store paint brushes and pens/markers. I need new ideas on what I can use them for. Please help me out before Hubby hauls them off to the dump! Thank you!

I don't use the cans, but I hoard the lids! They are great for holding ink or paint when you are using an aquapainter. So many of the colors are hard to tell apart in the concentrated ink form, but with the Pringles lids I can just write the name of the color on the lid with a sharpie so I know which color is which.
They are used in elementary math for making a times table rotating thing. I would donate to them before they are thrown out! My niece made one and still has it...she is now 18.

Perfect storage for stamp wheels (Clearsnap and SU)...I roll the image on a strip and wrap it around the can with that wheel.
You can have children decorate them and use them as piggy banks by cutting a slit in the tops. When they are full of change take them to the nearest coin exchange and exchange them for dollars.
store old crayons, pencils, ink pens etc
I used them in relay races for summer games.

I don't know if you scrapbook but what about borders you've completed already. Lay them on their side attaching them together in bundles then put your goodies in them. I know you said you use them for your pencils/pens/markers but you could do the same thing (bundle them) for those as well.

I actually just covered a VIACTIV container and will use it as a gift box. I used designer paper, and a border paper, and used paper flowers on it too. It turned out really pretty. I've never done anything with the Pringles ones though. THINKING....THINKING....
