Thanks so much for the great idea Kate! I combined this project with one of your others and covered the tops of 3 Altoids boxes with some gorgeously printed paper from my local art shop. I gave them to my mom on her birthday and she absolutely loves them. We’re going to screw them into the wall so she can hold some of her craft supplies in them. Right now they have lots of little magnets in them so they actually stick to her magnet/white board and are already brightening her studio.

I love this idea. I’m an Altoid junkie, so I always have extra tins left over. I didn’t realize they were magnetic, so I’m super excited to see what I can create with them now. Thanks so much for the idea.

What a fab idea! If you like the blue ceramic table lamp in the pictures you can get one from http://www.hollowaysofludlow.com. Go to the lighting page and see Hector table lamps.

I love this idea…I have tried it in the past and I rusted the tin, but never thought of painting them or hang them all together. So Cool !!!

Such a gorgeous way to keep organized – something I am always trying to do – I think my som would love this as well so he can hide little lego men in there!!

This is great. And I love that crocheted mushroom, too! I may have to make both. :)
