We used a shoebox and cut the cover in half. hotglued paperbags to cover it the outside and made only half of the cover openable. cut heart shapes (die cut) and a flag out of k & co paper (color throwdown) and attached the flag with a brad ( practacle scrappers) to make it moveable. As you can see the handle is made of hemp with beads that spell A-N-G-E-L. The key is a toy my daughter had that I added a braided keychain with beads (that I had thought about tossing at one point.) It is removeable from the mailbox. I cut a slit in the box to slide it in and out. The bottom half of the box has ribbon around it with flower stickers, Angels name, and hearts glued on. The top of the mail box has hearts Angel cut out of paper and stickers.. I think it came out better then how I envisioned it lol.
This is way too cute, Jessica! Love the hearts your daughter cut out for the front. Thanks for playing along at Practical Scrappers!

That is so creative! I love it! It's like a real mailbox! Everyone in class will be jealous of her. You're making other mothers look bad... lol (including me! )

Hi Jessica! This is so cute! I love how you created a little door to open and get the valentines. We have had to make these too and I always wrapped the lid separately - but this is sooooo much better.
