Love Letters- Target $1 Mail Box!

I’m sure you’ve all seen the cute little $1 mailboxes in Target’s dollar bins.

have I mentioned I LOVE Target Dollar Bins!

I’ve already seen some really cute ones around blog land. I bought mine a few weeks ago and finally got around to dressing it up a little.  I thought it would be fun to drop a little “love” note in the mailbox each day leading up to Valentines.

I found this super cute paper at the scrapbook store and decided it would be perfect to cover the mailbox. I simply traced the lid and mailbox and then cut it out.

I also needed to cut a hole to fit the paper around the screw. After that I modpodged the paper on and added a few cute embellishments.

Then I wrote my first love note… :)

I’ve seen these stuck on candlesticks as well which looks super cute…

Aren’t these little mailboxes so cute?! I think it’s a fun way to surprise your Love each day. Get Creative! ;)

These would also be a fun to fill with chocolates and give as a gift. YuMmY!

    So cute!
    I bought one of these too and decorated it. I cut out "love notes" in vinyl and put it on the front and put it on our island so me and the hubby can swap notes to each other.

    I love how your Target mailbox turned out! We are doing the same idea in our Happy Home - even the Happy Hubby decorated his own mailbox. It is absolutely hilarious because he was trying to protect his manhood while doing crafts at the same time.

    You can see a pic of his mailbox HERE - http://happyhomefairy.com/2011/01/21/the-25-days-of-love-fun-day-2-valentine-mailboxes/

    You are super inspiring by the way you pour so much energy and time into building your Happy Home. Thank you for being so faithful to share with us!
