What would you do with these?

[Bren3]

Hello all you talented ladies & Gents out there. I have so much of these cans and don't want to throw them out and can't figure out what to do with them. Would any of you have any suggestions?

cover 'em in pretty paper and fil with 'fun size' candies or homemade cookies (if you bake), for Christmas gifts...
how tall are the cans?

Last year, I saved a few of these. I wrapped them in pretty papers, added some embellishments, and came up with some ideas on what to put in them. They were the perfect size for chocolate dipped pretzel rods! I placed the pretzel rods in a plastic baggie and then in the cans. They made really cute teacher gifts. You could also stack about a dozen cookies in them. Of course, filling with candies is another idea. Have fun!

You don't have to put food back in them. Wrap presents in a new fun way, use them more like a gift bag.

I'd also vote for wrapping them in pretty papers, embellishing them, and filling them with special goodies-homemade or store bought- for fun and inexpensive gifts during the holidays.

How about spray painting them, try some of the textured paints. Them amybe use them for food goodies or as suggested above, a "gift bag?"

[sempermom]

yes, cover with pretty papers or paint them. fill with goodies or put them on a shelf in your scrap room to hold supplies

[Lou Belle]

They would be a great way to give money or gift cards...an unusual shape so the recipient wouldn't know what is inside!

You could make snowmen out of the taller cans. There's a photo in rosebudinnh's gallery: pringles snowmen by rosebudinnh at Splitcoaststampers

I made some with a couple of preschoolers last year, and they were a big hit.

I cover them and use them to store my Copic's :0)

I used the taller cans for cookie exchange party favors. I covered them with some AC paper, stamped up a topper, and filled them with some homemade cocoa mix.

Thank you ladies for these wonderful tips.

[stamper1996]

I use ones like the taller one you have for storing Prismacolor pencils in.

My son is on formula, so I get about a can a week, all the same... I have painted some, covered some and just peeled the label off some, they are in my scrap room, full of stuff, I love the way they look displayed on the shelf.

Check out the thread on frappuccino bottle ideas. I bet a lot of them would work for these cans.

There were ideas for foods, treats, spa kits, craft kits, all sorts of stuff.

I'll see if I can find the thread and post it here.
