Repurposed Gift Tin
We had this old tin in a box to get rid of, I decided to repurpose it for my best friends birthday. She is the type that likes hand made, one-of-a-kind items.
BEFORE:
Funny thing is I went to an auction the next day and they had a tin just like this in a box. If I had wanted a matching pair I never would have been able to find another :)
AFTER:
I personalized it with their brand, and since her birthday is the same day as Kansas Day, I thought sunflowers fit perfectly. To top it off, I filled it with chocolate chip cookies.
