The team has been challenged to create a Up-cycled-Themed Project that includes a Reusable or Recycled item along with a Cricut cut.
So, I gave my kids a can of Pringles and said ” Eat up kids ’cause Mama’s got to make a craft and try not to slobber on the can please.”
The caterpillar is cut from Stretch Your Imagination. This cartridge was the perfect choice to decorate a Pringles can because you can stretch the cuts to fit on the can. Stretch Your Imagination cartridge may be an oldie but still a goodie.
I then wrapped some embossed cardstock around the can, added a few paper flowers on the lid and stuck a little flag stamped with a stamped sentiment .
Anyways, I’m celebrating my one year “Blogoversary” soon so I’d like to offer up some blog candy to y’all.
I can’t believe how many friends I’ve made since starting this blog and how much I’ve learned and been inspired by all you crafty friends of mine!
So, if you want to win my blog candy make sure you’re a follower and leave me a comment telling me what’s your favorite Pringles flavor (mine is Cheddar Cheese-Yum!) and I’ll pick a random winner on May 7th which is my actual Blogoversary! Yeah…me!!
Now keep on crawling and make sure to check out each DT member’s blog for more inspiration. There will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant who links up a “Save the Earth” project at FCCB!
Never would have guessed it was a pringles can! It looks awesome!

That little bug is just darling…way to go!
What fun…kids get a treat and Mommy gets a crafting goodie! That’s a win-win situation for sure! Love your caterpillar, he is just perfect for your project…super cute!
What a cute project! Love it…and love Stretch Your Imagination too! Great cartridge.
Congratulating on your blogoversary! My favorite Pringles flavor is original-just salty enough but not too salty. Once you pop…
I just love adorable ideas like this. I’m always wanting to give a cute gift, but hate to spend several dollars on a container. What a super cute, environmentally adorable project! I’m gonna have to do this! Thanks for such a cute idea. I’m going to “lift” it!
What a great idea! The stretched caterpillar is just perfect on your can! I’m sure your kids had no problem helping you by eating the Pringles!
I’m like you – the cheddar ones are the best!

I love your blog! Also that pringles can is just too cute!! What a bunch of nice projects I’ve seen on this crawl. I guess my favorite pringles are sour cream & onion. Thanks again.

Haven’t had Pringles in ages but I just might have to get some. Love the caterpillar for the long tall can.
What a cute project and I especially like the lid of the container, I had to laugh when I read for us to tell you our favorite flavor of chips…..for me it doesn’t matter what the flavour is, because it is one of my worst tiggers to blow my diet. Hubby hides them so I will not touch them.

And they think I’m batty for saving my containers :). Your project is darling, and kudos for recycling a Pringles can. My favorite flavor is cheddar, also. Love ’em cause there’s no broken chips when you open the can. Ty for the giveaway.
You did a great job on your recycle. That would be great gift and my fave chips are any good ones. Thanks for the gift away. God bless you and yours. 1205love@gmail.com
How cute! I still use that cartridge a lot. I have never had a Pringle, so can’t say which flavor is a fav. Congrats on your anniversary~LOVE your talented work!
Love this idea and I am looking forward to checking out the blog hop too. I’m a plain Jane when it comes to chips. Thanks for sharing and the chance at the blog candy.
I am partil to the original flavor Pringes…….Great idea for recycling….love it! TFS!

Stretch Your Imagination is one of my all time favorite cards, I use it constantly! Love your recycled can and I bet the kiddies really enjoyed “helping” you out too! lol Joining your blog and waving hi from the hills of North Carolina 🙂
Firstly, Happy 1st Blogoversary…congrats!
This is such a cute idea for a school party project…I know lots of kids that would love to receive this and the candy inside wouldnt hurt.
*havent had Pringles in forever, but I used to love the original flavor. Kathie
I love those Pringle cans for decorating and for storage. Happy 1st Blogoversary. I love the Sour Cream and Chives Pringles if I can wrestle the can from my son.mapperlmuter@hotmail.com
What a cute project! We’ve actually on a Pringles kick and I have a couple of cans set back waiting for ideas. I’m kind of plain and still love the original flavor!
I’m a new follower!
I’m just now getting to hop, so I’m glad I stopped by. 🙂 I never know what to do with the super-long cuts from SYI, but your Pringles can was perfect! I don’t really eat potato chips often, so I’m probably a fan of plain/original flavor. Glad your kids got to participate too! 🙂
Your DT pal,
Jessica
lol- too funny about the kids eating the Pringles- sounds like something I would do! 🙂
