What it does

Turns an Altoids tin into a portable paint palette
Two layouts: 15 round wells or 9 plus medium and large
Travels light for plein air and craft sessions
Doubles as a small parts divider for screws and beads

Turn an empty mint tin into a real travel palette. This insert drops into a standard Altoids tin and gives you a clean grid of paint wells, so watercolor, gouache, or acrylic comes with you anywhere. Light, sturdy, and pocket-friendly.

Two versions cover most use cases: 15 equal round wells for a clean palette, or 9 small plus a medium and a large for mixing. The same insert doubles as a divider for tiny parts like screws, beads, and components on the bench.

Great for plein air painters, craft travelers, and bench workers. The kind of small accessory that makes a familiar tin much more useful.
