I bought a little tin mailbox from Dollar Tree and painted a wood candle stick holder white.
Then I glued the candle stick holder to the bottom of the mailbox and tied some bakers twine around it to make a little bow.
It doesn't get much easier than that.
I made one similar to this last year! I like your box's post much better (I used dowel)

I don't know if kids still do valentine cards in school, but they were treasures to me when I was young. That would be a great place to keep your cards.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and an extra treat for Gibbs. ♥♥♥
This is cute. You're just far too clever!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and fun idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I saw the little mail box in dollar tree last week.. I thought how much I would have loved it back when I was in grade school and we always made boxes to put our valentines in. I wonder if they still do that in grade school now.. mine was 65 years ago.... beyond vintage is what I am.... good job AGAIN
ReplyDeletevery cute! I wonder if they still share Valentine's at school? I remember when that was a very big deal.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute...and so simple once I see it done. I would not have thought of it.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I hope it gets filled with lots of Valentine's cards.
ReplyDeleteIt is so adorable! I left you a suggestion about it on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! My dad and stepmom are both retired Postmasters so mailboxes always get my attention.
ReplyDeleteAnni, your version is cute too. Sometimes you just gotta go with what you have handy.
ReplyDeleteSandee I don't know if they do or not either. I always loved getting them
MyGBGV Life thanks. It is definitely a simple project
Lin I don't know if they do them still or not but I remember going through and agonizing over which one to give to who. Wouldn't want to give one that was too mushy to a boy and have him think I liked him....lol
Marti, thanks. It's a small mailbox so they would have to be little cards...lol
Renee thanks, I saw the idea on Pinterest
Ginny Thanks. I saw your idea on Facebook. That's a good idea
BeadedTail thanks. I had a friend who used to be a Postmaster and I always grabbed related items when I saw them to give her as gifts.
Another clever, fun project. :D
