I recently lost my favorite customized mint tin, a vintage-NYC design. For various reasons (mostly because I was testing out new techniques) I wound up re-making that tin at least three times over the last couple of years. Hence my reluctance to do it yet another time, at least until I'm 100% sure it's lost for good.

In the meantime, I still need something to carry around my delicious mints in. Red Dwarf to the rescue, then!

I know, I know, here I am cavalierly toting around candy rather than proper brushes inside this deceptively-labeled tin. No doubt I will rue the day that the desperate cry goes up: "Is there a walrus-brush in the house?" and I will sheepishly have only sugary goodness to offer.

But until that day comes, I will take my chances.

~~Another excuse to try out my new homemade lightbox~~ A nice side view of both labels.

ETA: Some people have expressed interest in getting one...These are 2.25" mini mint tins, unused, and at the moment I have run out (I originally just made this one for myself, or I would've stocked up beforehand). If enough folks want them, I'll be ordering more. The labels are glossy and water-resistant (though like most labels, not waterproof). They're only $4 each + s/h.
