Customised Coffee Tins

What to present home made biscuits and treats in when you're giving them as a gift?  If you're obsessed with recycling, like me, you use an old coffee tin.

Avalanche Coffee have particularly nice tins.  I spray painted them white and then painted Phin's hand which he then used as a stamp to press on the tin and lid a few times. 

A contrasting colour card with a message on it gets tied around the lid with gold thread and an old tin is made beautiful.

In retrospect, I probably wouldn't go for the red paint next time..... looks a bit like blood?  Was really meant to be Christmassy.  Could be a slight fail there.
