Multipurpose storage tin

This multipurpose storage tin can be used as a simple container to store balls, small stuff toys, crayons, tapes…list continues…

Material

1 metal tin
2 coloured paper
1 tape

Method

I used a baby formula tin - Washed and cleaned.
Wrap different colour paper around the tin (whatever combo you like)...any number.
Seal with tape. I cut a design on one sheet and secured it on top of the other to give a simple but a crafty touch.

Notes

I made it in blue because I'm going to use it for my son's room to match his decor.

Want other brilliant projects sent to you?
