Yield: 2 boxes
Equipment
Materials
- 2 paper mache mailboxes
- 1 bottle craft paint green
- 2 sponge paint brushes
- 2-3 sheets St. Patrick's Day stickers
- 1 shamrock garland
- 1 St. Patrick's Day ribbon
- 2 bottles glitter glue green and gold
- 1 can glitter spray any color
Instructions
- First paint your box/es.
- Add decorative touches, like ribbon around the mailbox flag.
- Stickers are one of the best ways to decorate your box. You can put them anywhere and everywhere; there are no rules. You can even put them inside.
- Get creative with different pieces of decor. I'd found these cute pot of gold decorations, so we cut the stem off and hot glued the pot into a small hole poked in the top of his box. Jacob actually made his pot of gold into the handle for the mailbox lid. It turned out so cute.
- Using the glitter glue, your child can also add their name to the box.
- When all is said and done with decorating, you can finish off the boxes with a bit of glitter spray to make them shine.
- You can trim with garland, as well.
- And that's it. Now you're ready for the leprechauns!
