Folgers coffee cannisters

21 years ago

Has anyone come up with anything crafty to make out of these? I've been saving them since they first came out and was hoping to make something with them. I'm sure if there is anything to be made with them, you crafty people will come up with something. Thanks in advance.

I was planning to ask the same question! You are talking about the red plastic containers that Folgers now comes in, right? I've been saving them too, and know they could be used for the usual container for cookies or candy, but was hoping someone would come up with a unique idea.

I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't know what these look like.
Are they regular coffee cans or what, if so here is a site
