Not hard at all. I use MS Word. Whether or not you use the pringles containers doesn't matter. Measure the hight and length of the label you need to wrap around your container. As long as those specs can fit on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper (or an 8 1/2" x 14" sheet if you want to use a larger container) it will be real easy. If your label is longer then 8" then you will have to adjust your print setup to "landscape" mode. After your page is set to whatever orientation you need, just create a text box of the same size as the label you want and from that point you can add graphics and text of your choice or other textboxes and so much more like layers of graphics. Just start simple and 'grow' with it. When you've got something you like, just print it out, trim it up, wrap it around your can, securing the ends with a glue stick or something similar. it's good to have a little overlap where the two ends meet. the tigher the fit the better and more secure it will be. There will be a little trial and error but you'll have fun with the design.
Let me know if you try it and if you need me to elaborate a little more. I'll assume you know how to use Word (other wp have similar features), but if you need help let me know. Have fun... really!

Here's an image of one of my labels. It's a JPG, but in Word format they can be resized so I (used to) use them to make envelopes also.
