Description: Get my free Paper Mailbox patterns + Valentine's Day cards at jennifermaker.com/valentine-mailbox-craft I saw a cute decorative mailbox at a craft store and guess what I thought? I thought, "I can make that!!" It sure looked like I could recreate the mailbox’s pieces using simple shapes in cardstock. And making it open up for mail would be fun!
