I love my own tea tins. Only just 2. Recently they've been sitting in my kitchen... last week I put some winter roses in them and had them grace my desk.
But I thought I'd do some surfing for more inspiration on how to use these pretty tins...
I love this vintage set I stumbled upon on blog Reading Rosie
I discovered Uniquely Tea, a great blog for some tea tin inspiration! These are some of my favourites:
A table clock.... or a lamp! Pretty easy to do too.
Use them to display flowers. I find it best when you just fill the tea tin... I placed the water and flowers into a plastic cup and placed that into the tin...

I keep various craft & sewing paraphernalia in these pretty colourful tins too.
Holly from decor8 also posted about tea tins last year... with some great photography and tips.

Or fill them with wax and use them as candleholders. I must say I really like this idea, although I can't really be bothered with locating wax beads, wick, boil them etc etc.
Make them into pretty vintage pendant shades via Junk Market Style!
My beautiful blue Asian-inspired bird vintage tea tin is now a holder for my new African violet. I love looking at this while I wash the dishes :)
