These handy little containers are a great way to store and organize small household items or just about anything that is small and gets lost easily. Instead of throwing them out, keep them and use them to store all your tiny items that you always seem to lose and can't find. Keep all those tins stored in a drawer, purse, or even in your pocket, so you will always know exactly where they are when you need them.

Storing stamps

To keep stamps from being lost and prevent them from sticking together, store them in a breath mint or aspirin tin. You will always know where they are when you need to send off a bill or letter.

Storing sewing items

This is an easy way to keep your sewing box organized and neat. Store buttons, snaps, sequins, and even beads in these handy little tins and you won't have to go digging through your sewing box hunting for them. You can label the tin or even glue a sample of the item to the lid so you know exactly which tin holds what.
