The pool table is a hoot! The mouse is cute, too. Those darned tubs are so versatile!
I've got about a dozen Altoids tins stashed away. So far I've made a very tiny memory game, and that's about it. I've always had one problem with the tins, though. Does anyone have a good suggestion for how to flatten out the raised letters on the tin? I've tried using a hammer, but ended up totally deforming the lid (although this may be because I'm uncoordinated).
The tooth tin is stinking adorable.
that little mouse is adorable… hmmm… now this has me thinking of more ideas!
I'm gonna be needing that mouse house.
