Make Your Own Pringles Can Speaker

Go Repairs shares this build for a speaker made with a Pringles can:

Pringles occasionally run a promotion where you get a speaker for the can. But why bother with all that, when you can make your own speaker from the Pringles can.

Change the Font on any Website

Taylor shares a Chrome extension for changing fonts on sites:

I created a tool called Font Changer that allows you to change the font on any website. It has standard fonts, Google Web Fonts, and even allows you to upload a custom font. It is a great Chrome extension that I think your readers would enjoy.

Put Sheet Sets in a Pillowcase for Easier Storage

Sportwagons, haulin’ stuff and haulin’ balls shares this tip for storing sheets:

For storing bed sheets: I like to fold and stack my bed sheet sets normally then insert the stack into one of the pillow cases and wrap the pillowcase around itself for storage in the closet. Voila, a nice bundle containing one sheet set which stacks easily with other sheet bundles or towels and won’t let the individual pieces of the set get separated in the closet.
