Hello friends! Debbie here today sharing a fun project for Valentines Day. Valentines Day is one of my favorite days and I start creating projects and cards almost as soon as Christmas decorations are put away for the year. I decorate my house every year for this day and I really love the colors associated with Valentines Day. This little mailbox will go on my mantel with my other decorations.
To create this fun project I started out by covering a small mailbox I purchased at one of the dollar stores. I used Helmar Tacky Craft Glue for this step.
Here is how it looks after covering the main part of the mailbox.
The next step is to ink all the edges with a coordinating ink.
The next step is to decorate your box. I started out by embossing some chipboard pieces with Red glitter embossing powder.
To adhere some of the embellishments I need a needle sized tip so i filled a small bottle with Helmar Tacky Craft Glue. This allows me to spread a small amount of glue to the back of the fine lettering and framing of some of the chipboard pieces.
To adhere the larger embellishments I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue. It dries quickly and and also dries clear.
I started with the mailbox lid and adhered the larger hearts and arrows using Helmar Premium Craft Glue. Allow the embellishments to dry.
Time to decorate the front. I adhered flowers and a pearl flourish as shown.
I hope you enjoyed my project and hope you give it a try.
Thanks for stopping by the Helmar USA blog today!
