This is soooo lovely! I kept my Pringle cans the other day because I wanted to do something special with it. Now, I know what! Thanks for sharing this easy idea.
Couldn’t you also use duct tape sheets?
Sure!
I am thinking about using contact paper. Duck Tape sheets are a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
SMART!
I’m probably the only one who has never heard of duct tape sheets lol 🙂
I love this! It looks like it’s simple enough to put together that I can do it without ending up with a pinterest fail! I’m totally using this idea for neighbor gifts this year! Thank you!
Love to hear that! 🙂
Thank You..Thank You….Thank You!!!
I have been wondering how to package my dried apples…..perfect!!
Supper idea.
I’ll be giving cookies this year to my neighbors for Xmas great
idea.
What do you do to get rid of the smell of chips from these containers?
You know, we found that it didn’t affect it much. We wiped out the cans with a cloth and then they seemed fine. Even tested out leaving a treat in a pickle flavored one for a while and then eating it and it was fine-no pickle flavor!
I love this idea! I’m saving cans all year to make teacher gifts next Christmas for the school in a low income area that my office supports. I’m planning on manicure supplies, nail polish, and several other goodies. Thanks for a great idea!
Oh that will be really fun!
What size cookie cutter would you use? As cookies spread whilst baking. I was thinking of obviously using a smaller size cutter than that of the container. Thanks in advance. From the UK.
Ya, you need them pretty small! We didn’t do cookie cutter cookies, but the kind you make balls and then they spread. But make them smaller than normal.
Not only are these great ideas/tips for amazing looking cans, but those cookies look perfect for Christmas. Recipe, maybe? 🙂
Oh maybe we will add that to the site! In the meantime, you can use the Funfetti Whoopie pie recipe and just use Christmas sprinkles and then not frost them. Here’s that recipe: https://fun-squared.com/funfetti-whoopie-pies/
Your idea is so cute! I do have a question for you. I would like to get a Cricut, hopefully from Santa, but I don’t know what model to request. I’ve never worked with anything like that before so I could truly be called a novice.
Your thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
So, we just use the basic Cricut (and love it) like this: http://amzn.to/2yffzKb
They just released a new one though that’s fancier: http://amzn.to/2yepXSp
Haven’t tried that new one yet! But the original is fabulous!
Were you able to upload the cookie recipe now please Im struggling to work out what the coloured bits are lol Thanks from Australia 🙂
They are just sprinkles. So you can use this recipe, but use red and green sprinkles for it: https://fun-squared.com/funfetti-whoopie-pies/
