Everybody loves Pringles....

Well, almost everybody anyways.

The thing is, what do you do with those pringles canisters after you've done munching those tasty morsels inside?

hmm...



Here's an idea on how you can recycle and repurpose those pringles cans into beautiful home decor, and I bet no one will know it came from your pringles cache :P

How to Recycle and Repurpose Pringles Cans into Home Decor

MATERIALS:

Twine or rope
Empty pringles can
White glue/Elmer’s Glue
Sisal Mat
Faux Flowers/shells/any decorative small material

Step 1 : Gather your materials
Step 2 : Smear some glue on the sides of the pringles can, small sections at a time.
Step 3 : Start wrapping your twine from the bottom part of your pringles can, like so.
Step 4 : Make sure that there are no gaps as you wrap the twine around the can.
Step 5 : Keep working, I know this part is boring but this requires concentration! Eyes on the can please! :P
Step 6 : Nearly there….
Step 7 : Don’t give up now, keep at it!
Step 8 : Don’t forget to put lots of glue as you wrap the last bits of your pringles can. Don’t worry about it smearing, since white glue dries clear :)
Step 9 : Yey! It’s done, but it needs to be finished properly, cut the twine leaving about 2 inches unwrapped.
 Step 10 : Tuck the loose end like so, so it would look neat :)
Step 11 : Cut leaf shaped pieces from the sisal mat (or use felt, it works too).
Step 12 : Cut as many as you need :)
Step 13 : Glue the leaves to the wrapped can.
Step 14 : Add some shells or faux flowers. I used flowers made from bamboo shavings (I made it too by the way, but that is for another tutorial/guide ). Allow to dry. Use your new revamped pringles can to hide ugly bases or to plant indoor plants. Additional uses: looks great in the bathroom too, like to store some stuff :)
Step 15 : Voila! Use your new revamped pringles can to hide ugly bases or to plant indoor plants. Additional uses: looks great in the bathroom too, like to store some stuff :) Hope you guys liked my guide. Feel free to comment or ask questions, and also suggest new DIYs to do.
