My roommate is forever bringing home cookie tins from his mom. I'll have to try this on some of them. What a great project! My roommate is forever bringing home cookie tins from his mom.

Some vintage buttons, though, especially those made of Celluloid, can deteriorate when stored in tins or next to metal buttons. So I'd store vintage buttons separately, and separate the metal buttons from the plastic. I love anything having to do with buttons! Great idea!

I use my tins as first aid kits which are nice enough to display :) Great idea to use them for crafts stuff. I have more tins so that'll be my weekend project ...

On the tins we made, we didn't cover the inside lip with paper, since it's only visible when the lid is off. Hope this helps! Hi Kelly-
