Do you save bottles, tins and containers like I do?
I never want to throw any type of container away because I always think that I’ll come up with a use for it.
How about potato chip tins like pringles?
They make perfect cookie tins, especially for giving to friends & family!
Here’s how I turned a pringles Walmart Brand potato chip tin into some halloween gift giving bling.
Hand tear white card stock into strips.
Distress the edges with brown ink & a sponge.
I used double sided tape to cover the tin with the paper strips.
I had some raffia lying around so I wrapped it around the tin as well.
For the eyes I used a 1″ & 1 1/4″ hole punch with white & black card stock.
And I then glued on black buttons.
Add a gift tag & decorative ribbon and you’re all set!
But wait!!!
Don’t forget to bake some cookies to fill it with!
Mmmm, these were good. Unfortunately they are not homemade 
Just store bought Pillsbury cookies with a few halloween sprinkles on top.

Clever and oh so cute! The sprinkles on the cookies make them look extra delicious! Thanks for linking up to Scrappy Saturdays! Featuring this tonight.
Ooh! Great idea. For a second I thought I should do this for all my co-workers for christmas with the mini cans, but then I realized how many cans of chips I’d have to eat – probably not the great idea I thought it was.
Your mummy is super cute though!

What a fantastic idea. I just threw away some containers that would have been perfect! My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit “One Creative Weekend” on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
