Anyone have ideas on how to repurpose potato chip canisters?

I use Pringle cans to keep my boots tops from falling over in the closet. They fit inside and keep the boots upright and unwrinkled.

These are great for mailing any very fragile item inside another box... especially small handmade items.

Save them and make delicious homemade cookies that are just the right size to stack into it. Cover the outside with an appropriate wrapping paper -- birthday, get well, Christmas, Easter, etc. and give away on special occasions.

Use them to store bulk items that you bring home from the grocery in plastic bags such as pasta, dried beans, rice, candy, etc. Then cover the outside with paper and label as to what's in the canister. You can maximize your pantry-shelf space because the base is not large; yet they are tall and can store a reasonable amount.

I have teenage growing boys with high metabolisms. So I can put chips, granola, etc. in the cans for my boys to slide down inside their backpacks. The can prevents the snacks from getting smashed.

I paint black and store concrete drill bits in them

I saw a post where they used PVC pipes to make storage for kids' tiny stuffed animals. I think the Pringles cans and the plastic lays cans would be great for that. I use the lays cans to store jewelry making supplies, yarn and other small things. And sometimes use the lids to make card holders for my grandkids. Take two lids, back to back,, and put a paper Brad in the center. Then place your old maid or poker or uno cards in between. Helps little hands hold playing cards.

Sticky backed plastic. Use for storing Knitting Needles. Screw Drivers, Files, Rulers etc.

Cover the outside of the can with contact paper and then put homemade cookies inside. You would want the size of the cookies to be slightly smaller then the opening of the can of course.

Clean them and cover them in pretty paper. Use them to gift cookies!

Cover/decorate the outside and use for gifting cookies.
