im aware this isnt exactly a craft but i duno where else to put it.
ive found some small little metal containers with hinged lids. smaller the altoids but im guessing similar material.
previously i burned off the paint by just chucking them in the fire and fishing the out after, then givin them a good wash, then a thourugh good sandpaperin to get rid of the, i duno, suite, blackness, whatever it is it doesnt come off easy.
i ended up with some nice 'rustic' lookin little tins. i didnt bother going all out and trying to polish them up.
...but i was wondering if anyone has any advice as to how to get the blackness off better? or should i say easier. I patheticly tried soaking them in spirit alcohol, thinking maybe that might do something but nah.
