In dire need of a packing solution, I thought to myself, "Hmmm, cupcake liners are round... Pringles cans are cylindrical {yes, I used the word cylindrical}... perhaps we can make some magic."
After eating an entire can of Pringles, magic did happen. Check out this ultra-easy cupcake liner holder made from a Pringles can.
Materials
Pringles Can {empty and wiped out with a moist papertowel... do not get it fully wet... it is cardboard}
12" x 12" Scrapbook Paper
Double-Sided Tape {Optional: Scotch Tape or Glue}
Paper Cutter
Instructions
1. Cut scrapbook paper to 12"x by 7.5".
2. Lie face down and line edges with double-sided tape.
3. Carefully line up edge to top and bottom of can. Wrap full can with paper and push down on tape to secure. If your paper is a little thick, you may want to use an additional adhesive, like Scotch Tape or glue.
4. Place cupcake liners in Pringles can.
***In honor of full disclosure, I had two sizes of cupcake liners - standard grocery store size and a smaller size from Crate & Barrel. The smaller sizes from Crate & Barrel fit perfectly. The larger ones went in a little crooked, but I didn't want to force them to fit and ultimately, mess up their shape. So the Pringles can solution is a great option but not perfect. Don't get frustrated if your liners don't stack perfectly inside.
