I was rummaging through my craft stuff and I came across these slightly rectangular metal tins. I know I bought them from Stampin' Up! during one of their clearance sales, but I cannot remember why I bought them or how long I've had them. On Pinterest I have seen little mint tins reused into little travel lego sets and so I thought I would do that to these. The tins I have are probably twice the size of mint tins, so I needed kind of a large lego piece for the top. There really aren't any lego pieces that big except for base plates. So I ordered a couple of base plates and cut them with craft scissors. They actually cut easier than I thought they would.
Then I hot glued the cut base plate to the top of the tin. Does anyone use hot glue anymore? It was the only thing I had. If it doesn't hold, I will use gorilla glue.
I made six tins all together. I am sure each boy will get one. The others I think we'll fill with Lego mystery mini figures and use as gifts.
Here they are with some Legos in them.
So, yes, the whole year of 2014 went by without a blog post. I have still made stuff... I've mostly knitted, but I've also sewed and scrapbooked. I made some pretty cool stuff in 2014. Now I'll have to make some more and remember to blog about it.
Happy New Year!!!
