Turn Old Candle Tins into Magnetic Spice Tins
Turn Old Candle Tins into Magnetic Spice Tins
Recycled Magnetic Spice Tins
Had to share.
This project cost me $1.29 plus tax!!! Ever wonder what to do with those
magnet business cards, calendar and reminder cards that everyone sends out! If you are like me you can’t just throw
them out! They are magnets after
all! Not just paper! You know the ones.
I
combined them with my used square candle tins (washed out of course) and made
spice tins!!!!! The only thing I
had to buy was the instant crazy glue.
I just bought the Ace brand.
I cut up the magnetic cards so that they covered the entire bottom, put
glue on the picture side. Quickly
placed it on the tin and let them sit under heavy books for one minute! Couldn’t be easier!
 
This was the bowl of spices that I have sitting in my cabinet. This is the bowl of spices that drives
my husband crazy. This is the bowl
of spices that I use every single day!
This
is what my spices look like now!
 
I wrote on them with dry erase
markers. They wipe right off but
they do smudge pretty easily. I
think I may just write on the back or side.
A few things to note;
- Powders are heavier then leaves so make sure the entire bottom
is covered with magnets. You can
even extend the magnet a little further on the bottom so that it is not
noticeable.
- Some magnets are different thicknesses so be careful to use
only the ones with the same thickness together otherwise they will not hold as
well..
- The small tins didn’t seem as tight as the large tins so I
just pinched them in a little.
Problem solved J
- My husband is much happier now!
- You can just stick the tins to anything magnetic. I used the side of my refrigerator
because the stainless front doesn’t work. You could also use an old metal cookie
sheet and lean or hang it against a wall.
We do sell these wonderful
tins. They come in large and
small www.candlecocoon.com Look under travel tins. Or click

Happy Crafting!
