What can I do with old tea tins?

Your empty tea tins can be reused in virtually limitless ways in your craft room. Stash loose buttons, beads and stickers; tuck away spools of thread and twine; and organize your pencils, brushes, paint pens, crayons, scissors and sewing needles—all with upcycled steel tea tins.

Can you wash tea tins?
