Holiday Gift Containers using Chip Cans

I love when a plan comes together like this one.....

well sort of

The plan was for my husband to buy a COUPLE of Pringles cans that I could use for this project at the grocery store.

Easy enough, right?

Well a couple turned in to 2, then 4, then 18, then 227.

Honestly, no joke.

Here's more evidence of the Pringles can obsession

So instead of the original 'couple' that I needed to do this

I was also able to do this

and have enough left over to do this

So I guess the failed plan wasn't so bad after all since I was able to package all 103 containers of Christmas Cookies, all 54 Chocolate dipped pretzel tips and all 70 presents.

My part was easy. I just applied some tacky spray over the cans that I spray painted in white

( this will help to conceal the original packaging) with a fun festive cotton fabric and finished off the edges with fun embellishments of boa feathers and other pretty trims.

We now have a new rule in the house- NO MORE PRINGLES!

And if you are looking for something a little less crunchy and salty, a few of my favorite friends put together some more creative ways to gift wrap this season.
