Watercolor Wonder Crayons - Neutrals
 
I was disappointed that the SU Watercolor Wonder Crayons Neutrals set does not come in a tin like the rest of the sets.

I was in Michaels today and at the checkstand they have pretty tins for gift cards, it was $1.29 and the crayons fit in it perfectly!! (I kept the black plastic liner from the cardboard WWC box.)

Now all my WWC are in nice tins!

I think I'll have to check this out as well. Thanks for the info.

SERIOUSLY? Why not?

Meanwhile, couldn't I have seen this BEFORE I went 90 miles to Michael's yesterday?

I travel 110 miles one way to Michael's and JoAnn's! I feel for ya totally!

Check at Penneys or any of the national chains that sell the little tins! I bet lots of places sell them.

(Even in our town of 3500, we actually have a Penney's store!)

That's a great idea - I got frustrated with the flimsy box, too, and altered one of those band-aid type tins: Neutral WWC Holder

You don't know how many times I've seen those but never would have thought the crayons fit in there. I am going tomorrow to get one. I have them stored in the smalled SU clamshell box but it's a tad too big.

Thanks for the tip! Mine are still in that tattered box! I have been hoping that the new colors didn't come in those silly boxes but now it won't matter because I can just get more tins! TFS!

What a fabulous Idea. I will have to do that. I have a labeler and can label the tin. Thanks for the great idea.
