Decorating with Advertising tins

Advertising tins can be a fun and easy way to add character to your home.
Since advertising tins come in a variety of sizes and colors you can make any room “liven” up adding a couple of advertising tins.

Advertising tins have a multiple of uses

1: Storage containers: You can store small items in them instead of having that “junk drawer”. They make great storage for those loose screws and such.

2: Bookends: Use the smaller tins on a book case as colorful bookends.

3: Plant Container: I recommend using fake/silk plants since we all know what water does to metal.

4: Lamps: Yes, even you can make a lamp. If you are handy with a drill you can make a really nice lamp out of a tin. Try searching eBay for lamp making supplies.

If you decide to start collecting advertising tins there are a variety to choose from.
From vintage to the tins that are currently made.
Prices range also, if you are on a budget I’m sure you will find something on eBay that will suit your needs.

Another idea on collecting advertising tins to decorate your home would be to come up with a theme for a particular room in your house.
For example, You may decide to decorate a room in patriotic colors. Search for tins that have those colors.

Also, you may want to give your bathroom some charm by adding some health & beauty tins, or medicine tins.

You may also enjoy finding tins that have your name on them

No matter what your decision is based on the main idea is to have fun!
