Yesterday, I explained how easy it was to make your own breath mints (like Altoids). Sure, you can reuse an old Altoids tin for your new homemade (and less expensive) mints, but I was reminded this morning of other things you can do with used Altoid tins, should you choose not to refill them yourself. If you're a crafty person (and EVERYONE is crafty in some way or another),
Here are some examples:
