One empty blank magnetic tin box measuring about 92x58x20mm (roughly 3.5" x 2.25" and 3/4" thick). It has a connected, hinged lid, with a small bump to allow the lid to securely shut. Tins can be used for storing your handmade paints or tube-filled empty watercolor pans.

 

Please note that any metal tins (such as these or Altoids containers) are not rust-proof. It is ideal to keep them as dry as possible - not to be used as a mixing well. When using any tins for watercolor paint storage, mixing colors on paper or in an empty plastic paint pan is suggested. For my own watercolors, I usually cut a piece of paper to fit into the inside of the lid to display the color chart (instead of a mixing area). I have used the inner lid as a mixing area, but it should be wiped dry after painting to reduce rust build up over time. You may be able to use an acrylic based spray sealer to coat the inside of the tin, or otherwise decorate your tin if desired.

 

Can fit about 14 standard size half pans inside, or 7 full pans. This listing is for the empty tin only, you can find white plastic pans to put inside it here. You can use tape, magnetic tape or glued-on magnets to keep your pans stuck to the tin. These tins are lead free and non toxic for use with candy or general crafts, painting, decorating with glued on items, small item storage (like paper clips). Use wax paper as a liner for storage of candy that could become tacky or melt.
