DIY for gift giving :

I know you kept those old metal cookie tins from Christmas. Time to recycle cookie tins for a great container – just a little spray paint and a ribbon and your set. ( you may have to do a little sanding if its very glossy finish ) but spray paint comes in great colors these days, -so have fun. Lisa
