I am sick of throwing out the boxes from Tic Tacs all the time and have now found a new use for them. Knit these people to place over the boxes. They have many uses:

a cover for your Tic Tacs in you handbag
a tooth box for the tooth fairy to put money in
kids can pass secret notes to each other inside
give one to each guest as a goody bag at a birthday party
sew up the bottom to enclose the box totally, fill with beads and make a rattle

They are knitted on 2 needles with just one seam up the back. Use 8 ply (worsted) yarn. A great project for a beginner.
