I Really Love These Magnet Tins They’re So Handy

I Really Love These Magnet Tins

I have over time collected a few of these little magnetic tins for my craft trolley for quick access to some my craft items. But until yesterday I didn’t realize that they are also a very handy pin tin.

I was busy pinning up a project that I am busy doing at the moment and I was struggling to get these little pins out of there little tiny container they came in. I didn’t want to take all my pins of my old but very strong pin dish (As shown down on the second lost photo of this blog). So I would put them into one of my empty magnetic pin tins. Well I was struggling even more to get them out of the depths of the tin. Then I tipped them into the lid and this made it easier.

But ROFL! I saw the magnet on the bottom of the tin and thought “Oh my goodness I have had these all this time and I didn’t realize that if I tipped the metal objects into the lid and then turn the tin upside down and place the lid on top of the bottom of the tin where the magnets is I know have another very useful magnetic pin dish. But I definitely am not going to replace my magnetic dish for these magnetic pin tins as the magnet in the dish is for stronger than the magnets on the tin. But it is very strong.

I also love that they come in my pastel colours and that they match the colours of my craft room. I also love that they are not very expensive.

Some of the other uses I have found for them are for:

- Safety pins

- My patchwork pins

- Buttons

- Beads

- Embellishments for when I am making a card

- Die cuts from my Sizzex machine when I am also making a card

- Miniature Projects

- On my fridge

And the list goes on; the possibilities are only limited by our imaginations.

I hope you have found this helpful and had a good laugh at my lack of insight lol if you have any other uses for them please let me know by leaving your suggestions in the comments below. I thank you so much for your continued support I really do appreciate it.

I hope you have a truly blessed day and a wonderful weekend.

How I Built A Mountain with Toilet Paper And PVC Glue

How I Built A Mountain with Toilet Paper And PVC Glue There are many techniques to use to cover your mountains and hills, like using plaster of paradise or paper Mache using paper and home made glue. I did give much consideration into using one of these two techniques, but the technique I finally decided to use, was toilet paper and PVC glue. And I am really glad I have. Because now it is finished, it is as hard as a rock but light like fibre glass. It was kind of funny at the time choosing this technique been as in this time when I had decided to start doing this, toilet paper was very hard to get and you had to que up to buy just one packet. And no I wasn't one of those people that had an abundance of it left over and needed to figure out how to use it...

You can purchase packets of these from any stockiest of Woodland Scenics products either from a hobby shop or online, for around $10-$15 and of course if you purchase them of the internet then there is postage handling.
