7 Times Mint Tins Were Upcycled Into Something Awesome
Rose Heichelbech
We can go through quite a few boxes of mints per year and we’re usually left with the empty box thinking “there must be a great use for this!” Being such a handy size and the fact that they are something we often have on hand, these DIY mint tin projects are a great way to use up those empty tins.

6) Socket Set Holder
Obviously this one depends on the size of your socket set, as the larger sizes won’t fit into such a tiny space. And, you’ll have to used the larger size of mint tin since a mini won’t hold much in the way of tools.
