If you lovewashi tape crafts, youll love this idea.
Mints are a must-have in my purse at all times, but Ive amassed many an old Altoids tin.
Larger ones can be reused as a minisewingkit, or even to stash your credit cards in your clutch.
you could use thiseasy craft projectas a springboard to do additional Altoids tin crafts!
A lot of Altoids tins have raised letters of the brand name on the top.
It might be silly, but I always purchase my mint containers with upcycling in mind .
so I buy the tins with flat, smooth tops.
Read on to see just how easy it is to make your own upcycled mint tin.
Another alternative is to use white spray paint or spray primer to cover your Altoid tin.
Let dry before the next step.
Use the X-Acto knife to cut away the excess tape on the outside and inside of your tin.
Fold over the excess tape to the inside and then trim.
Your Altoid tins might be done.
Many times washi tape will stick to a surface, but sometimes it doesnt.
Some types really only stick to paper, and anything else has to be sealed.
I love the cuteness of these mini Altoid tins!
What would you stash in yours?
