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.
