So I have to admit, I am not a big fan of Altoids Mints. They are just too strong for me. So I buy them or the container and then give them to my 7 yr old daughter because she loves them! (Yes, I know I am a wuss but I am OK with that)
The tins truly are amazing and they can be used for so many things. I was blown away when I started looking up items for this round up.
Here are just SOME of what I have found you can do with an Altoids Tin, and I am going to start off with my very own Business Card Holder.
Some of these ideas where a little too high tech for me. But if you know how to pull them off I think they would be pretty cool!
And some of the uses were just a little strange and not real sure what the need is for them but I thought I would still include them.
So why do you save the Altoids Tins and what do you use them for?
Wow! THat was fun to look through! But...I think I like your owls the best.
ReplyDeleteThose are great. My daughter wants the mouse bed so bad
ReplyDeleteI love decorating Altiod tins. I've made a kit to hold all the item I need to take care of my braces. http://mylifesatreasure.blogspot.com/2012/03/living-with-braces-kit.html
ReplyDeleteI also bought my son a ipod speaker that was made out of an Altoid tin. I found it on etsy and it works great.
I've seen quite a few uses for those cans but I think the ones you featured blow the others out of the water! I love all things miniature. So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI make these:
