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!

We did it. We did it for our daughters. And our so We did it. We did it for our daughters. And our sons. For LGBTQ. For Black people. For women. We did it for our future. 

I woke up in a Blue state yesterday and today my COUNTRY has chosen love and hope. 

Do we have work today? Yes, absolutely. And it feels like we made a start.

So, we didn't win the election. To be fair, everyo So, we didn't win the election. To be fair, everyone knew that it would be an uphill battle as a write-in campaign, but that doesn't make the loss sting less. 

I won't pretend that I'm not hurt by seeing people, community leaders, who openly preach kindness laughing at my loss this morning. 

I won't pretend that I'm not sad about not winning. 

I wanted this because there are families out there going unheard—my own included—by our current school board. I wanted this because decisions are being made that are not in the best interest of teachers, of learning, or of protecting the health and safety of our community. 

So, yes, I'm disheartened by the results, but I'm not defeated. 

Throughout this campaign, however short it may have been, I've met members of this community who want to see things change, who believe that we deserve better than what we've been given. People who were willing to make donations, write postcards, send texts, make phone calls, put up signs, talk to their neighbors and friends. My gratitude to every single one of you is boundless.

I've made friends I trust will be in my life for years to come. 

But most importantly, I've put "you don't get what you don't fight for" into practice and shown my children that it is always important to use our voices to speak up for what we believe in, even when it's hard. Maybe even especially when it's hard. 

So, I may not have won this election, but I will never stop using my voice to stand up for others, for myself, for my family and other families like mine, for our teachers and our students. For our entire community. 

This campaign may be over, but there's still work to be done. Time to go get into #goodtrouble with my @cherokeedems.
Joshua is always thinking outside the box/store fo Joshua is always thinking outside the box/store for Halloween, choosing costumes that require searching for pieces and parts all over the internet or crafting them ourselves. While this year’s #enterthegungeon pilot costume was *significantly* easier than year’s past, it was no less obscure, which is Joshua’s style.
