Chip Chip Hooray! A Custom Pringles Label Valentine!

February 10, 2020

What’s this? A second post in as many days. I’m as shocked as you. Blame this on the 48593 hours I spent on airplanes today.

This is an image of a custom Pringles label on a small can of Pringles. The cans are stacked in a small pyramid and say "Chip Chip Hooray."

I’m back with another craft for those of you out there whose kids will still let you do this kind of stuff for them.

Joshua’s nearly 11, so when he gave me the green light to craft his Valentine’s Day treats, I didn’t turn the opportunity down.

The kid loves chips of any kind, always has, so this year, while wandering the aisles of our beloved Target, we decided to skip the candy and cards and give…Pringles!

Chip chip hooray, guys!

Special thanks to my Facebook peeps who helped me come up with that because I’ve been using all my original thoughts for other people for…years. (“All the Pringle ladies” was a close second.)

This custom Pringles label craft is really simple but, unfortunately, not speedy.

One of the fonts I used has a lot of line work, and you can only print 2 labels per sheet of 8.5″x11″ cardstock. You can probably get 3 per 12″x12″ sheet, but it won’t really speed things up because the time consuming part is the writing.

So, set aside plenty of time. You’ve been warned.

You’ll need:

  • Cricut Lightgrip mats
  • Fine-point Cricut pens (plus the pen adapter accessory if you’re using an Explore Air One)
  • Cardstock in the colors of your choosing
  • A glue tape dispenser/roller thing

To make this custom Pringles label yourself, visit my design upload in Cricut Design Space.

The fine-point pens are required for this one. The primary font has a ton of fine lines, so using anything thicker just creates a blob.

You can add your child’s name to the label before printing or you can have your kiddo write their name on the labels for an extra touch. Your mileage may vary based on how much tween-ness exists in your house.

Once you’ve printed and cut the labels, pop the top (but not the foil!) from your Pringles cans. Wrap the label around the can nestling it between the two metal/silver top and bottom pieces.

Run the glue tape down the edge of one label so that it overlaps both the label and the can, gently pressing the other end of the label on top of the tape so that you can’t see it.

(I’m sorry I didn’t photograph this. I will be a better crafter next time.)

Joshua pointed out that the kids won’t know what flavor Pringles they have, so I said “this is a Valentine’s Day surprise! It’s great!” He’s mostly convinced.

If you’re concerned about this, color-code your flavors or buy all the same flavor so there’s no worry about giving somebody Cheese Pringles who hates Cheese Pringles. (Who hates Cheese Pringles?)

If you have not a tween in your house, you could totally jazz these up with stickers or washi tape! This mama was on a time crunch and her son doesn’t really do that crafty stuff. 🤷‍♀️

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all!

She’s 9 today. She has grown SO much this year, She’s 9 today.

She has grown SO much this year, turning into my little confidante, showing wisdom beyond her years. Braving changes with more grace than adults four times her age. 

And yet. 

She’s still my little girl. My tiny dancer. My baby girl.

May all your wildest dreams come true, little one. Now and forever.

I’ve been writing this in my head all day, waffl I’ve been writing this in my head all day, waffling between sharing my Aunt Gerry with everyone on #transdayofvisibility or saving her for Trans Day of Remembrance because she’s no longer with us. (Her death was tragic in the way that all deaths are sad and tragic but not tragic in the way that so many deaths of trans people are.) 

I met my Aunt Gerry for the first time when I was about 5. Maybe 6. The following summer, my grandfather, a hard, devout Baptist minister whose faith prevented him from knowing Gerry in the fullness of her humanity, revealed to me that Gerry had once been Jerry. That he, my Pops, had once had three sons.

I remember thinking, at maybe 7, “so?” 

Why did this matter to me? If we were all precious in His sight, if Jesus loved us all, why shouldn’t I? Why couldn’t my Pops? 

Gerry, I learned over the years, left home as soon as she could, and I can’t say that I blame her. She transitioned in the 70s and was the first in our family to complete college. She lived in Chicago, drove a red BMW, loved art of all kinds and helped write the computer code that deployed HIPAA. 

She eventually struggled with substance abuse, and I wonder how much of that was from a lack of acceptance in the early years of her coming out as trans and how much of it was the mental health issues which plagues so many members of my family, including me. 

She wasn’t perfect. None of us are. But I remember her being funny. Just the kind of person who always knew what to say to get a laugh out of everyone in the room.

Ultimately, I decided to share Gerry with everyone today because one of my regrets in life, and really, I only have a few, is that I didn’t know her better. 

Trans lives matter. I see you. I love you.

We’ve been considered adding another dog to the We’ve been considered adding another dog to the mix for a few months now, and after a few misses, we weren’t sure it was going to happen. Turns out we just hadn’t found the right dog. And then we did. 

Welcome to the family, Lucy. We’re so excited to love you.
