I found d this cute Letters to Santa DIY mailbox for 80% off at Michael's after last Christmas. I wasn't a big fan of the picture on it and I thought I could make it an all occasion mailbox. My plan was to paint it with Chalkboard paint and decorate it for any occasion, Valentine's Day or Birthdays or Letters to Santa.  What you need:  • Wood mailbox (from a craft store or Dollarstore) • Chalkboard paint, red paint and songe paint brush What to do: 1.
