Dean and I wanted to be creative with some of our DYI projects for our wedding. We came up with the idea of re-making a standard mailbox so our guests could "mail" us there cards. It just required a few tools: mailbox, spray paint, saw, wood letters, hot glue gun, and some flowers for pretties.
Steps we took to make the transition:
1. Take the flag and all parts off the mailbox
2. Pick the color of spray paint - we picked a natural stone (see below)
3. Spray paint the mailbox
4. Use and electric saw to cut the size you need for cards to fit thru
5. Spray paint the flag and letters (we picked a flat black)
6. Hot glue the letters and flag on the mailbox
7. Lastly we hot glued the flowers on and hot glued the mailbox door shut
The finished product (minus the flag) we lost it after the wedding
We were happy with how it turned out. So instead of buying a $40-$60 bird cage, we have a $12 mailbox that we now use as decoration in our home.
