Mailbox Makeover!


It's Make-It Monday! Today I gave my old classroom mailboxes a makeover!!! I am so proud of how this looks :)

Here is how they started...

Step one was to remove all of the black plastic strips off the front. I used cheetah print decorative tape from the dollar store to cover them, see below. 


Then it was time to spraypaint. I did great with the black and I got a bit messy with the pink. I decided this might not even be noticeable once I put the dividers in.


After waiting impatiently for the paint to dry, I began to reassemble & added the butterfly clips (this is where I will place the labels with the students' numbers). Beautiful!

  1. Wow!! Your mailboxes came out cute but that looked like so much work. Maybe I can convince my hubby to do it for me. Ha! I just wanted to stop by to let you know that I've nominated you for the Liebster Award. Come by my blog and check out how to receive it!
