Inspiration Strikes Again....

I saw this on Pinterest and decided that I had to make me a box top container. I had my children save the Pringles cans this summer because I knew I could use them for something in my classroom. Well here is my version of the Box Tops container and an additional one for our soda can pull tabs. I used Pringles can, polka dot wrapping paper, label that I made on Pixlr from a frame jpg and hot glue! It took me about 5 mins wrap both cans and cut the cut holes in the lid/paper. I then attached my label after I made it. SUPER EASY AND CUTE!!  Use my idea if you want and if you do leave me a comment /pic so I can see how cute yours turned out. Here are mine:
