You can also find a nice selection of tins at your local dollar tree. I also enjoy repurposing tins..I’ve covered some with fabric, ribbon, scrapbook paper, etc…definitely some of my favorite storage for art supplies and things. ❣️✨

Wonderfully inspiring video as always. If I may pass on a storage tip. Lay a ribbon down through the tin and place cards on top of it. Then you can use the ends of the ribbon as a handle to raise the cards up from the bottom.

I worked with a lady who loved Altoids...she said "you're creative...make something" and would pass the tins along. I covered several and gave them to friends for Galentine's Day with chocolates inside. My favorite was the one I filled with tiny half pans and used for my watercolors. I eventually got a slightly larger Creative Memories tin that would fit more and bigger pans and that's what I use now. I have several Altoid tins with tiny ephemera inside as well.

This video is completely up my street. I love collecting tins to store crafty bits. Old tobacco tins are ideal, and of course they can be decorated. My daughter came home declaring she was turning into me, she had bought an attractive tin of biscuits, just so she could use the tin afterwards for her growing craft bits. Wonderful, thank you.

You have lots of beautiful tins filled with wonderful things. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I love the tin(s) idea. I don’t have a craft room like I used to so I always seem to reorganize. I have a lot of my things in pretty boxes from dollar tree that they have stocked for Christmas with lids rectangular shaped and they stack nice but I love the tins for small storage. I love your channel. I’ve been working in both the spells and potions journal AND the grid journal. Thank you for the wonderful and easy/simple inspiration. I’ve wanted to collage most of my life and have always been fascinated by vintage papers/receipts/ etc. I didn’t know how or where to begin until I started watching you. Thank you so much!!

They come in all sizes. A unique way to store small items and look nice on your shelves. Enjoyed this. Thank you.🎨🖌 P.S. I store my paint brushes in teapots that lids are broken.

The recipe-card tin was a fun skip down memory lane for this 60-something gal...it might be a good way to store Index card art/ICADs; that is if the size matches(3" × 5" older tins, 4" × 6" newer tins) ❤️😉

World Market will have the largest selection of cool tins (with food inside) at Christmas time. Quite a few of my storage tins are from them (ex employee). The finish on that one tin was likely burned off. Historic reenactors throw Altoid tins in a camp fire to remove the paint after which they'll look fairly period appropriate. I've done something similar with a charcoal grill. Not recommended for indoors.
