Mailbox Art

Happy Canada Day!

There’s many festivities happening, but we’ve had three sets of visitors today and decided to stay home. It’s too crowded and people-ly out there. 😃

So anyway-

I’ve been watching my plain white mailbox getting sadder and sadder over the last year or two and I keep telling myself I should really do something with it. So I did. 

Hmm, blue or colored? 

Here it is in its white, rusty, boring glory. It’s served us well, but not long enough - so I pulled out a few things.

First I cleaned off the rust the best I could, then covered it with clear nail polish.

Once that was dry, I painted the bottom of the lid with white acrylic paint. 

After measuring and cutting out the fabric, out came the trusty old mod podge. I recommend outdoor mod podge for this, but I used what I had and sealed it well. 

And here she is hanging outside where you can see the color better.

I bet the mailman is going be so excited! 😂

Thanks for the visit! Have a great week,
