Mailboxes

• A mailbox isn't just a box for receiving mail--it's the perfect outlet to add interest and personality to the outside of your home. People take pride in the curb appeal (first impression) of their homes when someone pulls into their driveway or walks up to the door so the mailbox is another way to reflect their style and personal choices.
• Mailboxes are traditionally brass but other finishes like patina, cool copper, antique bronze and rust are also gaining in popularity.

Materials:

mailbox
paint and brush (optional)
delicate decals
copper craft tape
craft stick
work gloves

Steps:

1. Paint the mailbox if desired and let dry.

2. Use the craft stick to put the decals in position.

3. Wear gloves to apply copper tape around the lid edges.
