I've seen lots of projects involving altoids tins but I wanted to make one that would be useful.  A piece of fabric from a belt and bra project was used to cover the top.  The gold braid around the side is from an old t-shirt.  The picture on the right is of the opened case.  The pin cushion is from old cotton taken from pill bottles and another fabric remnant.

Coffee syrup bottle and chocolate foils

I saw candy filled bottles at the stores last year.  They were selling for $10 each.  I made my own from a leftover bottle and some bulk candy.
 
The chocolate foils make great hearts.  They're too thin to punch.  I made a template and cut these out.

Mustard container and foamies

I'm giving my daugher just a few chocolates (she still has some from xmas) in this cute little mustard jar. 
 
Kids always seem to have leftover craft supplies which they never use again.  I've got a bunch of foamies and decided to put them to good use.

Stamped heart foamie

I decided to try the plain ones but they were too plain.  I ended up using archival markers on stamps.  These turned out great.
 
The second card has a fainter stamped image for an aged look.
