How to Make a Smart Phone Speaker out of a Pringles Can

By Jill Parkin • Published: Jul 9, 2015 · Updated: May 3, 2024

My boys are really into music. They get it from their daddy who spent many years in a popular band as one of the original members. That's why I was so excited to make this Pringles craft this summer, and share How to Make a Smart Phone Speaker out of a Pringles Can. Not only do we love great music, but we also love Pringles! So this is such an awesome project.

This summer, Pringles has unveiled a Summer Jam for music fans nationwide, giving them exclusive access to their favorite artists and unbelievable music content. Pringles knows that people already use Pringles cans as instruments, so they're challenging music sensation M4Sonic and a group of musicians of varying styles and backgrounds - called the Percussion Prodigies - to incorporate the brand's iconic can into a music extravaganza!

Making a Pringles® can instrument with your child is a great way to pass the time. Making fun homemade instruments and snacking on Pringles® sounds perfect to me!!! click here for some inspiration on how to make your own Pringles® can instrument.

Let's Make a Smart Phone Speaker out of a Pringles Can

When you're out at the park or beach listening to music on your smart phone, it may be hard to hear the music with lots of people around.

Have no fear, you can easily make a smart phone speaker out of a Pringles can. A you will need an empty Pringles can, scissors, knife, 4 beads and a hot glue gun. 

Use a serrated knife to cut a slot for your phone to rest in. you don't want to cut it too big, just big enough for your phone to rest inside.

Use scissors to cut the remaining cardboard out of the Pringles can.

You will end up with something like this.

Double check to make sure your phone will fit into the slot. You can widen the hole at this time if needed.

Now you can choose to paint you Pringles can, or leave it plain. It works the same either way.

Finally, glue the beads onto the base of the speaker with a hot glue gun. Make sure to make them even so that your speaker won't tip over and has a sturdy base. Wine bottle corks, popsicle sticks or bottle caps can also be used to glue on and stabilize it.

Before you use the Pringle® speaker, put about 5 sheets of toilet paper into the tube. This will help the music sound better.

Your Smart Phone Pringles Can speaker is done!

Whala! You are finished. Wasn't that easy?!!!!!!

Here is the finished product.

Now that you know how, you also can make Smart Phone Speaker out of a Pringles Can.

Time to rock out to your favorite summer tunes! And don't forget the Pringles®. Your summer guests will love them.
