A few weeks ago, I found these cool tins at WalMart that contained Juicy Fruit and Wrigley's Spearmint gum. Well, neither is my favorite but my daughters love gum of any kind. So I bought several of the tins knowing they would happily chew the gum, and I would have a cool, not-often-seen-shape tin to alter! And alter those tins I did!
I covered these with Snowy Jo papers from Imaginisce, and filled them with yummy (only 60 calories each!) Hershey's sticks! (Thanks Anita, for the suggestion!) Each tin holds 8 of the sticks, and each one is tied with a little ribbon scrap to match the tin, plus one that has the "To/From" tag. I used a few of my Kitchen Sink Stamps sets for these, along with these awesome felt snowflakes from Creative Impressions. My new Spellbinders die created a nice wavy border for my sentiment, too.

Absolutely precious, Tammy!! I have tons of the Altoids gum tins but the lid is domed and hard to embellish!! I'll be on the lookout for these Juicy Fruit tins!!
