(1) When my family used to save coffee cans all year to redistribute with tamales during the holidays, we'd stuff the cans with crumpled newspaper to get rid of the coffee smell. They sat in the laundry room all year, with an occasional change-out of paper until needed.
(2) Years ago my mother gave me a little gadget that presses four layers of newspaper into a seedling cup. You start a seed in it (with a little soil) and when it's ready to plant it can go right into the ground where the cup disintegrates as the plant grows. I want to say she got it at Lillian Vernon but I may not remember that correctly and I can't find one there now. Maybe Vermont Country Store? No matter. There are many tutorials of how to fold them by hand anyway.
