Tin Containers

Tin containers are perfect for holding little images and statements of truth. They are just big enough for an artistic statement, but small enough to present simple snippets of a symbolic, visual journey for the senses. The "pallet" is small enough to make a quick, but meaningful gift for any occasion that lends itself to a significant importance. The hinged lid adds even more options for embellishments. The lid can be partially opened to allow the box to stand on any surface to display a miniature masterpiece. Close the lid for an instant gift within the box for easy carrying. Add ribbon to the top for hanging. Charms and beads are beautiful hanging from the bottom. All kinds of findings can be added for an unusual latch for opening and closing. Look around the house for even more brilliant additions.
