Food tins not only look interesting and hold your spices, candies or teas, but after you’ve emptied them it almost seems like a shame to throw them away. By adding a powerful magnet to the inside and maybe removing the lid, you can make a useful storage box for your kitchen, workshop or office. Non-metallic containers will work as well though you will have to add the magnet to the outside of the container, creating a space between your tin and the surface you stick it to. This is the perfect project for those who don’t consider themselves crafty. Two simple steps and you have yourself an interesting, original piece that will add a little taste of vintage to any space.
