So you might have made use of some of our last list of Ten Fun Storage Uses for Your Empty Tins, but what if you have more than ten empty tins? What if you've gotten more samples since then?

Well, fear not, we've got your back. Here are eight more storage uses for your empty sample tins.

1. Toolbox

Whether you're a seasoned repairman or just getting started, you always need the right tool for the job. Consider storing extra screws, nails, washers, and bolts in tins when you're done with your project or put everything you'll need for a single project in one. Since tins are perfectly sized to fit in a tool belt, tool box, or to balance on a sawhorse or ladder step, they're also a great way to keep items from rolling off your workspaces or vanishing into the corners or your belt or box.

Bonus tip: If you're working on projects with students or kids, use tins to prepare materials ahead of time to make sure everyone has just what they need. If the project has a theme, consider using tins that match.

2. Tackle Box

For those of you who like to take your tea out into the wilds, try using your tins to keep fishing hooks, lures, weights, or other related supplies organized in your tackle box. Organize by fish, weight, style, or frequency of use, and make sure you never find yourself longing for that one that got away.

3. Reed/Guitar Picks

If you're a musician, it's always nice to have an extra reed or pick on hand. Use tins to store extras in your pocket, purse, or instrument case for your next gig, or store extras or similar items together in your practice area at home. If you have multiple kinds of picks or reeds, this is also a good way to either keep all the ones you need on hand together or to keep them organized by type.

Bonus tip: If you have any connectors, cleaning cloths, or other replacement parts you might need, consider keeping them in an emergency tin as a back up.

4. Matchbox

Whether camping in the great outdoors or preparing a birthday cake at home, sometimes you just need a light. Consider storing matches in a tin if you lose the box. Please note that safety matches need a high-friction surface to light, so put sandpaper on the back of your tin (and test to make sure you have the right grain) before you go out if you choose this route. Otherwise, if you have strike-anywhere matches, all you need is the tin.

Bonus tip: If you're camping, consider putting the matches in a plastic bag just in case of water. You can also put a good fire starter (like dryer lint) in another tin.

5.Medicine case/organizer

This one is perfect if you have medicine you need to take either throughout the day or in bulk to go on a trip. Simply put your medicine in a tin and toss it in your luggage or bag. Use multiple tins to separate pills out by day if you're going on a longer trip or use propped up post-it notes inside the tin to separate medicine out by time of day or day of the week.

Bonus tip: If you're worried about the tin opening in your bag during travel, just put a rubber band around it on the sides that slide open to keep it extra secure.

6. Game Pieces

Playing games is fun, but keeping all the tokens and pieces separate and in their right place can be tough, especially if you lose their bags. Clean up or start your next session faster by storing stray tokens or game pieces in tins, organizing them by type or color.

Bonus tip: if you have tins with artwork that matches a character or color from your game, you can easily pass out what each player needs to play without even opening the tin.

7. Hair Accessories

If you've ever dealt with the struggle of getting caught without a bobby pin or hair tie-or worse, known you had one if only you could find it in the depths of your bag, this one is for you. Store extra hair ties, clips, or bobby pins in a tin, toss it in your bag, and travel free knowing you'll be ready for any hair emergency. As with the medicine, if you're worried your tin might open in your bag, simply secure the sides that open with a rubber band.

8. Golf Tees

A different kind of tee for your tin, if you like hitting the course on a fine summer Saturday, consider storing extra golf tees in a spare tin. Sort tees by length so you can always find the right one for the shot, and store extra pencils alongside to make sure you never lose your score.
