Check out what I found yesterday:
I spotted these tin cans on my way to work, in the display window of my favourite thrift store. I thought they'd be perfect to use to store some of my crafty supplies.
They were still there at the end of the day, so I decided that it was "meant to be".
More stuff...just what I need. But I figured I could justify the purchase if I use the cans for organising my sewing/craft supplies?!?
I was surprised to find that the cans are empty! I was expecting to have to throw out some really old veggies. They must be reproductions.
I kind of feel bad cutting the tops off. Hmmm, I wonder if I could find some plastic lids that fit, to make sure my crafty odds and ends don't fall out.
Love the display rack to go with the tin cans. I saw a display in a bakery window the other day that used just plain tin cans with the labels peeled off, and I forgot how good that can look it can make. Also gives me some ideas for my crafty 5 year old. Wasn't there a tin can wrap with yarn craft?
ReplyDeleteI thought they were pretty cute. Yes to the tin can craft. It was a juice can, with the top and bottom cut off. Then I wound a ball of yarn around and around. Then you could thread Xmas cards on the outside, so they fanned around the can. You and Jenny made those tree hangings...I made the tin can card holder!
