5 creative ways to reuse your matcha tins

Here at Bird & Blend we value being sustainable and taking care of our planet. So Teabirds, we would love to share with you some super fun ways that you can reuse your matcha tins; Whether you’ve built up your collection of tins overtime, or participated in our 12 days of matcha challenge, this post will be sure to inspire you with a few creative ideas to repurpose your marvellous matcha tins.

Another wonderful way to reuse your matcha tins, particularly the bigger 30g ones, is to make your own candle. We like to melt our leftover wax from old candles, by pouring boiling water around the candle and letting the candle sit in the hot water until the wax has softened, then a butter knife to get out. But please be cautious of the hot water and make sure it doesn’t get in the jar. You really can save money from purchasing your fav pricey candles!

Sugar and Spice and all things nice: One way you can bring your matcha tins back to life is to use them to store your herbs and spices. A simple and effective way to store your condiments, especially if you are zero waste!

Now what better way to reuse your tins, than store your arts and crafts in. If you’ve built up a collection of tins, you can really make the most of this and pop all your bits and bobs together. We love that Teabird Eve has transformed her old Bluebird tins (what a throwback!), to beautiful tins to store her beads earrings and sequins!

You can creatively repurpose your matcha tins by punching holes into the tins to make a unique design and then place a tea light in. If you’re looking at a DIY gift, then this is a wonderful idea. It's amazing how far a little bit of creativity can go...
