Small candy tins are calling my name...
I guess I have a habit of collecting
all kinds of small sturdy containers,
with the idea of repurposing them...
A few scraps of wool...
Some scattered embroidery stitches....
A fancy button and some glass beads...
These small tins, that once held candy,
now hold my pins or other
small stitching supplies,
or 'whatnots'.
I have these sitting around my Studio...
they always make me smile
when I reach for one of them.

And, this ALWAYS makes me happy...
This was waiting on my porch for me...
It's the simple things !
(Who doesn't smile when -
'THE WOOL' arrives !!)
Have a wonderful weekend, Stitching Friends...

Your tins are so cute. I too save little tins, that someday I'll do something with.
ReplyDeleteI love your tins, I also love working with wool. Did you use cotton fabric on the bottom of the wool before attaching to the tin?

Very nice idea. Have quite a few tins. How do you glue the wool to the top of the tins? Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea! Yes, I smile when wool arrives too! I'm a felter
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have tins and heart shaped boxes that I hang onto and I love and I like how creative you are, not to mention getting wool and working with wool is always just the best.
ReplyDeleteThose little tins are adorable! That wool looks pretty, too!
ReplyDeleteYour tins are SO SWEET ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteYou are so very creatie Rose. Love these tiny creations! Janice
ReplyDeleteI am a collector of tins also. Was just given a bunch of the eclipse tins but not sure what to add to them. Would you share what you have done with this type of thing?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I recently found some tins I had collected and was wondering what to do with them. I am using them to organize some of my office supplies and now I can make them look nice too.
