Question Altoid Tins

I went to ebay and bought 10 empty Altoid tins.
I really want to make little gifts with them.

I need all of the tips and ideas I can get.

1- What is the best paint to use?

2- What is the best adhesive to use?

3- What can I make with these tins?

Thanks for your ideas!

Jenna

Regarding question 3, you can type "altoid tin" into the search and you come up with some really neat ideas. Emergency Office, Small Cards, Lipstick Case, Magnet holder, etc.

Default tins

I made the toothfairy tins and they are really cute...there are samples in the gallery.

Also, I made cards out of them. I decorated the front and then made a fold out card (accordian style) that you pulled out of the card. I sold them at a craft fair and people loved them. I got the idea for the inside of the cards from someone that had posted in the gallery also.

you should really check out the gallery...there are some great ideas
