VINYL MAILBOX MAKEOVER
So I decided to surprise my sister in law and give her mailbox a new look…oh we love those darn birds don’t we? haha!
I knew she was going to be gone for a couple of hours and now was my chance!
I grabbed my handy dandy Silhouette and my premium vinyl (which stays on super duper good in the weather!)…
…and hurried like crazy to decorate it before she came home!
One neighbor even came up to me and said “Should I call the cops?” in a joking manner hoping I wasn’t a freak putting a bomb in a mailbox or something!
Mission Complete!! Phew.

I would have called the cops for sure. You’re pretty shady looking, Becky 🙂 Ha! LOVE the new mailbox design and I bet she did too.
Have a great mother’s day!

Haha. I told the neighbor I would point whatever lethal object I put in the mailbox away from his house. 🙂 Needless to say, he watched me the WHOLE time from his garage.
Super cute! This post caught my eye because I’ve been thinking about redoing my mailbox too-thanks for the fun inspiration!
Glad you like it! It took all of 5 minutes to make.
UCREATE your blog is so great! I’m new to the blogging world and could use some advice on how to get more followers! Here’s my baby http://thriftytvintagepeach.blogspot.com/ Many Blessings!
So what did she think when she got home?? Or did she tune into your blog and find out that way? That would be me.
So what did she think?? or did she have to check out your blog to see, that would be me.
My brother is actually the one that noticed first…when he went to get the mail.
I LOVE the mail box, what a nice sis-in-law! I just found your blog over at The 36th Ave – so excited to check out everything on your blog and I’m following!
Love it We will be moving into our new home in June and would love to do this to our old mailbox. But I dont have a Silhouette do you sell the number already made?
I do sell them. Email me at beckyucreate@gmail.com and I can give you more info.
Thank you!! I have been wanting to order one, and $269 was the best price I could find–for just the Silhouette! Getting the two rolls of vinyl and transfer paper included is an excellent bonus! I’m excited to learn how to use it. Love the mailbox–and that it was a surprise!
Super cute! I want a silhouette soooo bad!!
How sweet of you! Now..come to MY house!LOL My mailbox could use a makeover..I don’t have bird poop on mine, but it does have a bird next inside!!! Really it does! LOL
thanks for sharing this idea~

That is so cute! You can make over my mailbox any time!! 😉 I wish I had a Silhouette! Great job, I hope she loved it.
Can you share which font(s) you used for this? I really like them!!
I would love to know as well!
Sure. The font for the letter is House Sitter’s Club. I bought the fancy brackets from the Silhouette Store. The numbers font is called Impervious. Have fun creating!
Thanks!! Got everything…just need to cut and apply!! yay!!
Woohoo…did mine, but boy that vinyl is a booger to get from the roll to the mailbox (or other surface)…is there an easy way to do that?
Hi Krystyn, I make sure the surface I am applying the vinyl to is very clean and completely dry. Then I apply the vinyl, rub it on really good and gently roll the transfer paper back off the vinyl. It def. takes practice.
