I strive to live a pretty green lifestyle. So, the first time I bought a tin of Tazo tea, I knew I needed to to find a way to re-purpose those perfect tins. It is quite a challenge to remove the label and the guys at the shop where I work used some citrus smelling, industrial-strength remover but you be your own guide and find your own way (preferrably environmentally friendly). Trust me, it wasn't easy. Remove as much as the label as you can and moving slowly works the best. Labels are my arch enemy! (or maybe its the residue?)
Once the tin is cleaned up it is ready to have a new label. I chose the Martha Stewart Chalkboard Labels (with removable adhesive, thank you). You can find them at Staples in a variety of sizes. For the tins, you'll need the 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". Of course, you'll need some chalk. Enjoy!
