Pringle Lid Coasters

"Upcycled" Pringles plastic lids make perfect coasters for the right sized glass or cup. You can use plastic coffee can lids for larger cups.

Remember also that you can use any of the clear or colored plastic lids for coasters or under drippy products.
Also they work really well under metal cans to prevent rust marks.

Yes they can be decorated for even a holiday celebration, the kids would feel they have helped. Try a light coat of spray glitter colors of the holiday or party, clippings of tissue paper will make them look like stain glass. Apply a little spray glue, the tissue arranged, and then add the piece of felt, when the paper is set. You can also use pictures the same way. There are so many ways and kids love doing this as well as people in craft times in nursing homes, etc.

These are also handy for placing under sauce bottles in the pantry, in case of any drips.

Reuse Plastic Lids as Coasters

I save all plastic can lids to use to protect my cupboards from rust, as in on the bottom of my cleanser cans, also I used them to keep under my honey jar. No matter how much I try after taking a spoonful of honey out of the jar, it always drips. A plastic can lid will finally stick right on the jar and no honey messes in my cupboards.

Save the lids to the pringles cans, they make great FREE coasters. You can glue felt to the bottoms or do whatever you wish to them.

You can also use Pringles lids to make suncatchers. Give the kids markers and let them color on them, punch a hole and put string through. Hang them in front of a window. Very pretty. (07/31/2005)
