Whenever I find a cute tin or box I always think of how to alter it and what products I can use. But this often leads to me over complicating a project. I have grand ideas but battle to put them into practice. So today i'm taking a very different view on what to do with an empty tin.
Recently I had the need for a pin 'box', and wanted something with a secure lid.
This after coffee mint tin from Starbucks was just the thing and without too much altering I know what it is used for now!
Very basic, no need to sand, paint, ink or stick anything to it. And when i'm done with it, it will simply go into the tin recycle bin with no effort.
So simple!
Thanks for visiting!!

Oooh I've got a little Hello Kitty mint tin that I've been saving because it's to cute to throw away - I now know what it's new purpose will be! Thanks Caz :D
