I've been extremely busy lately but have been working on a little arts&crafts project when I have the time. I was inspired by another post to use the labels from my horde of empty tins to decorate and label my jarred tobacco. Not only is it easier to hunt down that particular blend but now some of my favorite tin art is on display.
I took a lighter to the bottom of the tin lids to melt the adhesive and slowly peeled the label back. Some labels were easier than others to liberate; I had to navigate around some small tears but was lucky not to ruin any of them past repair. I modge-podge'd them on to a manila folder for some support and then traced them with a mason jar lid and cut them out with an xacto knife.
Unfortunately this only represents ~1/2 of my cellar. The labels around the cardboard-style tins are too narrow to fit very nicely and bulk blends have no label to speak of. I may design some of my own in the future - if I ever find the time...
