Baby formula is often packaged in cardboard (like Pringles) or metal cans. The cardboard style has a lovely matte finish and the paper comes off easily. You can make this Instructable with either type of formula can.

You could also use popcorn tins if you wanted something larger. You can put them on the wall in a kids room to keep dolls and such in. :)

Wonderful idea! I would have to add another step and cover the outside with decorative paper to match the decor! And also put a circle on the inside to cover the screw holes. You could get really creative with it! :D

This is a brilliant idea and any tin or can including paint tins or even 2 litre plastic drink bottles cut in half would work. Awesome. Love this.

Very nice, a good size for the little ones too. I think I'll do this with those plastic coffee cans. I can see doing this with bigger containers for nest boxes for my chickens.

baby formula tins are great. the ones I use have a a rim with a bulge 20% of the way around the top. I get a can opener and cut half the rim with the bulge in the middle which is then bent up to become a handle. I use it for nails and screw and stuff. I've also used these can for stilts. probably a million uses there. nice structable
