Hi,
I guess I've been oblivious again - a whole movement has taken place over the past few years of which I've been sinfully unaware. :blush:
Hmmm, maybe blissfully unaware is more appropriate... :P
Apparently, people have taken to making things out of empty Altoids tins, and earlier this year, Altoids sponsored a contest for the most creative uses:

Hmmm, let's see, there should be some use for this thing in the Diablo realm shouldn't there?
...
[picks up copy of JG, which is still near my computer, even though I haven't played D1 in a couple of years... but one of these days...]
'tin' prefix fits on jewelry... [qlvl 3]
hmmm, not many 'negative' suffixes, how about "of Light?" [qlvl 4, those should go together, shouldn't they?]
Build a flashlight inside the tin, with a bulb sticking out one end or the cover, and a switch somewhere...
Punch a hole in each side near one end, thread a leather cord through the holes & tie the ends together...
voila, what every BNM needs, a Tin Amulet of Light!
<I never buy Altoids, so I couldn't actually make one of these to show you>
All right, rather lame, I know, let's see if you can come up with something better!
Regards,
Dako-ta
There once was an old man from Esser,
Who's knowledge grew lesser and lesser.
It at last grew so small,
He knew nothing at all,
And now he's a College Professor.
