Anyone enjoy a shopping challenge?

I'm looking for smallish, red decorative tins with lids Think baked bean tin size.

I want them to fit on a specific shelf, so they can't be much taller or wider than that.

Happy to buy just the tin, but any containing things (coffee etc) would be great.

I've looked on eBay for vintage ones, but they're extortionate so hoping to get some inspiration from here.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Get a baked bin tin and remove lid and wrapping. Spray paint red.

You can buy clear or possibly coloured lids that go over tins, often used for pet food tins.

If you didn’t want go spray pain you could use red cloth or paper and wrap around..

You need to get your crafting hat on. Tins will be cheap enough, then you can paint, cut paper and stick it on, or use some red fablon.

Thanks for all your suggestions - should probably have mentioned that I'm looking for an eclectic mix of kind of vintage/cool looking tins.

So one tin sprayed red with a pet food lid would be fine, but need various others too.

(don't know how to do clever links, sorry)

No lids but you could maybe buy separate or use a Pringle lid like I do for the dog food!
