I’m kinda jealous, because I really want to live in a house with a mailbox like this on the front of it. My mailman (or woman) would dance up the steps to deposit my mail, and comment on how nice it was to be a mailman (or woman) for someone so crafty as myself. Because depositing mail into a pretty box is surely better than doing the same thing into an ugly one. Right?
Rachel from Life Off the Shelf re-did her mailbox, and I am very happy to share it with you today. She could have just painted it green, but she didn’t, because she’s cool. Instead she used Mod Podge to fancy up a letter and dress up her box. This is why I love her. Visit her post here for more information, and keep in mind a project like this if you are a beginning Podger. It’s easy and there is instant gratification.

Thanks again, Amy! I just love your blog!
What a fabulous update for a lovely vintage mail box! Now, like you, I wish I had one too!
very cute. I haven’t played with Mod Podge in a very long time. I think it’s time!
Hey! Can you give me some mod podge tips?? It seems to ruin everything I do – warping and bubbling paper. I don’t think I’m using too much. I would appreciate any insight!! Thank you

I wish I could see her post about it. It says I have to be an invited read of the blog before I can view it. I tried my google name and password and it still would not work. Does anyone know of another way I can view it? It looks like a great project and I would love to know more about it.
Hi there Anonymous! Unfortunately Rachel has made her blog private since I posted this last year. . . so none of us can see it now.
I do remember that she spray painted the mailbox and then decoupaged the letter before she glued it on. Hope this helps a little!
