Cheap source for lite tin buckets

[sinead]

I'm making some of those hybrid notepads for teacher gifts, and I'm thinking that they will be part of a bigger basket (or tin) for the teachers. Can somebody give me a good source for those light tin buckets? A good cheap source? :)

oriental trading company, or the dollar store. (probably not the dollar tree, but one of those mom and pop run 99 cent stores)

I saw them at Walmart, by the plastic dishes for kids (the ones with Dora, etc on them)

Walmart has some as well as Home Depot or Lowes (they also have the empty paint cans). Have fun!

They have empty paint cans? Who knew? (Obv. not me, lol.)

Target has smaller ones in the dollar section sometimes but other than that I don't seem to be the best resource for this. But it was eye opening for me!

Thanks, everyone! :) I'll have to get some in the next week or so. :)
