New use for Build a Brad tin

I recently did a holiday stamp camp and I had a bunch of  empty Build a Brad tins left over. I saved them because I knew I would figure out something to do with them. I took a strip of ski slope DSP and cut it at 3/4 inch by 12 inches and wrapped it around the bottom of the tin. It fits just perfectly! Then I filled them with candy. I wanted to use kisses (so it would be silver wrapping), but all I had was Werthers so it will have to do. THen I just wrapped it with ribbon and plopped a Merry Christmas tag on top. It took about 5 minutes to make so now I am going to save all of those Build a Brad tins from now on to make these as little gifts.  How easy peasy is that??
