Do you ever go into the $1 store and see cute items and wonder what you would do with it? How about some plain items you can dress up, alter, give as gifts?
Found some of these small mini-mailboxes (approximate size 4x6") for $1 each! Covered with some cute papers from DaisyD's "Wonder Years Collection" (CLICK HERE to see HUGE Clearance sale in our webstore -- closing October 31st).
* Cover with some papers, use any clear drying glue (Mod Podge, Elmer's) to give it a coating to protect papers from getting too dirty.
* Add embellishments, and tuck some goodies inside.

Really uses very little paper, we mostly took scraps as the paper had that kind of "collage" look to it anyway!
