Empty Tobacco Tins - Any Creative Uses?

[numbersix]

I have round tins and square. They're pretty cool and I hate to toss them.

I don't keep my tins unless there limited edition or vintage for display in my smoking room and toss the rest don't want to much clutter but I do like the art on tins.

But I have seen a creative table were cigar smokers laminated cigar bands on a table and looked neat maybe you can make a smoking table top from tins.

I hot-glue a trimmed champagne cork in them and voila... a nifty portable ashtray!

" hot glue a trimmed champagne cork in them and voila... a nifty portable ashtray!"
That is a great idea!

Thanks 4dot, I've been using an old Erinmore tin converted in this way for a few years, the size and shape makes it super convenient.

I have also seen a lot of people make really neat clocks from old tins.

Thanks Lumberjack - nice idea.
A clock is a very cool idea too - have to look into that.

You could make an interesting bra out of them. Not a bad idea. I might try it on a model this summer. Maybe with no straps.

I use them in the garage for small parts storage and my wife uses them to store sewing bobbins and misc. needles. The rest get tossed in the bin.

I use tins for ashes, and the cans on my workbench for storing things but no more than a few are there right now.

I use them in my possibles bag to store my muzzleloading stuff. Patches, swabs, jags ect.

I've seen a guy online somewhere do t remember where lay out all the Tins and poured a clear over them incasing then all and when the clear cured he had a pretty cool coffee table ill see if I can find it

Personal First Aid Kit.

Band-aids ("plasters" for my brothers and sisters across the pond), butterfly sutures, tweezers, small roll of gauze, medical tape wrapped around a pencil, anti-septic wipes, Neosporin, Aleve, antacid, antihistamine, Immodium AD. 50g rectangular tins work best.

You could build a house out of them Somebody did it out of beer or soda cans once. Put the empty sides inwards and also have some interesting storage.

I'm sure you can do the same but with Tin's
