Tea & Toast:Repurposed Tea Tins

 

Tea & Toast time again – oh so soon! Have you popped your tea in the pot yet? I hope it’s loose leaf today because we are in for a tea tin treat.

Have you got your toast?

Let’s go…

Don’t you love the pretty tins that tea comes in? It’s getting harder and harder to find tea in tins these days. I so wish the old Twining's tins would reappear in supermarkets. Weren’t they fantastic?

Here’s a look at what you can do with your tea tins when you’ve used up all the tea.

Ready for some tea time drooling? …

Tea tin fridge magnets

What a lovely idea::: turn tea tins into fridge magnets!  I can never seem to find a pen within reach anyways, now there will be one on the fridge…just brilliant Martha!

Make a Theremin Enclosure Out of an Old Tea Tin

{BTW, this thingy is a theramin. I had no idea what a theramin was! If you don’t either, take a look here}.

Weren’t they pretty? What else could you use tea tins for? Have you got a tea tin? What do you use it for?

 

Happy Tuesday!

Wow! What a cool idea, this has made me look at Twinings in a whole other way! Thanks for the great tip! I have a feeling that I'm going to have to stop by my local tea shop soon.....

I love pretty tins. My mum was kind of obsessed with collecting biscuit tins when I was little.
