DIY Tic Tac Bobby Pin Case

• Tic Tac case (regular or jumbo!)
• gold spray paint
• gold craft paint or liquid gilding
• wooden dowel
• one zillion bobby pins (that you know are floating all around your life)

Make Time: 20 Minutes (plus drying time)

Step one:

Enjoy your delicious Tic Tacs. Oddly enough, the Wintergreen flavor is a total winner for settling my bubbly pregnant stomach in the evenings! Kind of awesome. (Mr. Lovely is forever a fan of the Orange flavor). Once your Tic Tac Pack is empty, remove the stickers or labels and separate the lid from the bottom half.

On the bottom of the pack, use the end of the dowel to dip in your gold paint and gently touch it to the plastic to make a polka dot pattern. (Because every good DIY involves gold polka dots.)

In a well-ventilated area, spray paint the lid of the pack gold. I recommend letting the paint cure for about a day.

Once all pieces are dry, round up all of your bobby pins and store them in the bottom of the pack. When you need one, just open the tab where you would shake out a mint and shake out a bobby pin instead! Your purse and the bottom of your drawers will thank you.
