Film Canister Salt and Pepper Shakers
Empty film canisters cleverly reborn as salt and pepper shakers are available from the MoMA store for $35. Or you could just drill holes into empty film canisters yourself. [via notcot]
Update: robfadams commented that film canisters contain poisonous chemicals from the film that you can't clean out. In other words, don't fill them with salt and pepper.

i saw these on notcot and i agree they are clever and nicely minimalist. but for $35... if there were ever a time to invest in a dremel, this would be it!

NO!! Terrible advice, Robyn! Film canisters should *never* be used for anything consumable -- they leech chemicals and contaminate anything inside.

I hope the $35 are well decontaiminated. :\
