I designed and painted a mailbox for my mom because the stickers always fall off on her current mailbox. It’s a fairly easy project and there are millions of different ways you can decorate a mailbox. The key is to make the lettering and numbers legible. My mom insists on having her last name and full address on the mailbox, as she lives in the country and there are hardly any street signs. Here are my tips and how-to on custom painting your own mailbox.



Does my red bird look familiar to you? It matches the landscape block I painted for my mom last year (which is still in fantastic shape, by the way 😉 ) This is a great gift idea or DIY project for anyone. Even kids can help design and decorate.
