Altoids Tin Watercolor kit

This was inspired by Truemirrors Altoids Tin mini watercolor paintbox. I wanted a very small travel watercolor kit to go with my moleskine pad.

Step 1: Paintbox in Altoids Small Tin

Following Truemirrors directions, I made an Altoids small tin into a paint box. I could only fit 6 colors. There is room in the larger tin for a small tube, so that gives me 7 colors.

Will this work for acrylics too?

It could, but the acrylics would have to be in very small tubes. I believe that you can get very small refillable tubes for bento boxes.

Good idea :)

This is a great idea! And I've always loved how the 'smalls' tin fits right inside the regular Altoids tin.
