Valentine Mail Boxes

I totally stumbled into an idea today! Target had these adorable little tin mailboxes complete with flags, and I bought enough for my nephews. I was going to just buy some stickers and let my 4 year old go wild with them. But when we were getting ready to work, he says, what about Star Wars stickers, that's what we should put on them. Well we didn't have them, but I HAD seen Star Wars valentines, and thought with a little decopage, I could make a cute little box!

Supply List:
Extra paper valentines
Tin maiilbox
decopage
foam brush

I worked in small areas, put a little decopage down, laid on a valentine, and held it in place a couple minutes. I cut a few of the valentines so there was a collage effect to it, and I also had to work around where the flag was fastened, but this was a very simple project. Probably only 15-20 minutes a box. After I got the box covered, I put on another layer of decopage and let dry. I'm stuffing them with little goody bags. I'm THRILLED with how they turned out!!! I only hope I'll be able to find these little tins again someday, but I also thought a dollar store tissue box cover would turn out well.

Happy Valentine's Day!
