Don't throw away those empty mint tins. Recycle them into lovely and functional tin containers for candies, mints, buttons, paper clips, band aids, pills, hair pins and other brick a bracks. Look what I did to some Smint and Doublemint tins. I used scrapbook paper, printed cello-tapes/deco tapes, ribbons, buttons, foam punches, and metal charms.

Keep a stash of these altered tins and you'll have instant stocking fillers, Halloween treats or additional goodies for your party loot bags. I enjoy making them. I have yet to make some using washy tapes. I'll keep you posted ;)
