The fun doesn't have to end after eating that last Pringle. TikToker TL_beadsS (@tl_Beadss) posted a hack for crafty chip lovers — using the lids to hold beads.
The scoop
A sneak peek at the TikToker's other videos reveals intricate work with tiny beads. Because the beads are so tiny, they can easily spread all over the place without a proper container. However, the crafter ingeniously repurposed the plastic lids from a Pringles can to separate those beads based on color and style.
How it's helping
Whether you're a crafter, have tiny jewelry, or need something to dump spare change in, you may need tiny containers to separate and store items on your countertops, vanities, or work tables. Instead of spending money buying organizers, this hack can inspire people to understand ways they can easily repurpose something they already have.

When you recycle plastic, you keep it out of landfills, where it sits for up to 500 years and leaks gases and toxins into the environment, per Statista. Many of these plastics also get into the oceans and were present in over 83% of the tested drinking water supply in 12 countries, per the Guardian.
Several other organizations encourage people to recycle items for rewards, such as Trashie. The company can help you declutter and revamp your wardrobe by taking your donated items in exchange for a store rebate or cash.
