Quilting - A change of pace :)

Instructions for valentine's mini mailbox

I have been asked by many to post instructions.
Here they are....... Happy Scrapping!!
Level: Intermediate
Time:1 hour

Instructions
1. Start with a mini mailbox.
2. Trace two copies of the end of your mailbox
(I used two different types of patterned paper).
3. Adhere the two ends with super sticky tape. I find that this is easier then modge podge, and much less messy.
4. Cut a 4.25 x 12 inch strip of paper to cover main area of mail box. before you adhere strip, put it in place and lightly indent the flag fulcrum area with your thumb. you should have the indentation of a circle on your paper. use a small circle punch to punch out your fulcrum area, and add a slit. slide your strip over this area first.
5. Fit strip over the fulcrum and adhere strip with super sticky tape on the bottom. there will be about a .5 inch gap on the bottom so starting on both sides of the middle on the bottom is a good idea. i only used tape on the bottom and pulled the paper snuggly around the box.
6. Use super sticky tape to add ribbon on the edges of the mailbox. I wrapped a piece of tape around the whole box edge, and started adhering my ribbon on the bottom so you don't see where the pieces meet.
7. Cut a 2.5 inch heart using the doodlecharm cartridge. Cut a background and a foreground in different shades of pink cardstock.
8. Adhere stacked heart to front of the mailbox, add "SWAK" stickers.
9. Cut a 2 inch love note from the doodlecharm cartridge. Cut a background and a foreground in different shades of pink cardstock.
10. Adhere stacked love note to side of mailbox. Add "love notes" stickers. Outline note with silver marker.
11. Add a pink ribbon to the opener on the front of the mailbox.
