When the chips are gone.

 What do you do when you've eaten the last pringles potato chip in the can?


Most people would say that they throw the can away. But not me. Oh no, I can't throw that can away. Especially when I've seen a really cute craft project that I can do.

So here we have Pringles, the snowman.


First you paint the can white. Then you paint on his face. I added some weight inside the can and glued the lid on. Then I took an old scarf and used a strip for his scarf and a piece for his hat. I wrapped the fabric around the top of the can, glued it up the side and stuffed in some fiberfill to plump it up a bit. Then I tied it off with some jute twine. Finally I finished it off with a few little things to decorate his hat.

The only thing I didn't do was erase the extra pencil marks after i painted on the face features.

So darn cute! And I don't see any pencil marks. The cuteness overpowers them.

Your snowman is so cute!! I've always kept the lids, but never thought of repurposing the can. Now I want to try this :)
