An empty mint tin was the perfect size to hold a solid lotion bar I made for a gift. I had embroidered the chickadee some time ago, as an applique. So I just decorated the tin with material from an old pair of jeans and some trim I had lying around. Glued the chickadee on the top, lined the inside with felt and it was done! The recipient will have a trinket holder to enjoy long after the lotion bar is gone. :)

Not soap. It's lotion in a solid form. Since it isn't a liquid, it's good for air travel. Warm in your hands and apply. Then, pop the bar back into the container.
