Empty tins make gerat cutlery holders and are also useful for storing serviettes. Use photos or pictures cut from magazines and make colour photocopies (pics of lighthouses and beach themes) Measure the height and circumference of each tin and cut out the pictures to fit. Apply spray glue to the back of the image and gold it arond the tin before smoothing it out. Paint the tin with a few layers of clear matt varnish to protect the pictures
(three of these placed in a low metal tray, look great on a beach themed table setting...used to hold knives / forks and spoons individually. Keep with the red / blue and white theme)
