Thrifty Mailbox Makeover

Happy Monday, Friends! The mailbox is the first thing you see as you approach my home and mine had become faded and honestly kind of sad looking so...I gave it a thrifty makeover! Come see how I used supplies I had on hand to create a fresh new look without buying a thing

Here's a quick before and after...

...and a front view of my mailbox makeover. Ready to get started?

Start by raiding your craft stash--I used supplies I had on hand, including indoor/outdoor craft paint and dollar store decals and numbers. Next, clean and if needed, sand or scrape any flaking paint from the mailbox. Then, paint the mailbox. I used 2 coats of the Spring Green pictured below. Last, apply desired decals and address numbers to the mailbox once it is completely dry. 

TIP: I have used dollar store decals for various outdoor projects and have found them to be quite durable. However, please allow the paint to dry thoroughly--overnight is preferable--before applying any decals.
