- 1 can of plain Pringles ($2 each, amazon.com)
- Wrapping paper or scrapbook paper (We used this one from minted.com)
- Scissors ($3 each, amazon.com)
- Double-sided tape ($5, amazon.com)
- Ribbon ($8, amazon.com)
- Optional: Baker's twine or string ($6, amazon.com)
- Optional: Mini ornament ($14.50 for 24, amazon.com)
- 2-3 dozen cookies per container (pick your favorite flavor!)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Empty your Pringles can and wipe the inside clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Optional: Eat all of the Pringles (hey, someone has to do it) or move to a large baggie and save for later.
2. Cut your wrapping paper or scrapbook paper to size: 10 inches wide by 9.5 inches tall.
3. Wrap the paper around the can and secure both ends with double-sided tape.
4. Trim your ribbon to your designated length. We used a 40-inch-long ribbon to create a voluminous bow.
5. Tie your ribbon around the can, and finish off with a festive bow. This tutorial by Lia Griffith is especially helpful. For variety, try rick rack trim ($12, amazon.com) or two different types of paper for contrast.
6. Optional: Tie a cute, mini ornament around the bow for an extra embellishment — and a bonus gift!
7. Fill 'er up with your choice of two-to-three dozen cookies, homemade or store-bought. We won't tell anyone, we promise.
