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-tape, 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 ;)
