New in Shop: Valentine Mailbox 2

Have you seen the new Valentine’s Mailbox 2 file in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Store?  This adorable little mailbox is so cute, and it holds a little treat… take a peek…

The door secures closed with little tabs so it’s easy to package up a little something!

You can use the little key to pull the door open to reveal the treat inside!

This cute little mail box is pretty easy to assemble!  See the steps below to put it all together!

1. Cut pieces and add decorative panels to the mailbox base and door. I added 1/4″ score tape to the tabs.
2. Add the door to the mailbox base by tucking the tab to the back of the base piece and securing with adhesive.
3. Use the edge of your table or a dowel to curl the mailbox top, and adhere to mailbox base.  Add the handle by inserting into slots and gluing in place.
4.  Add the bottom piece to the mail box base, folding the mailbox base around it and securing.  Fold up the final side of the mailbox and secure.
5. Add the top shoot inside support piece inside the box, flush with the bottom score line of the mailbox opening.
6.  Bring mailbox top up and around the top of the base, gluing the tabs inside the box to complete.
If you make one of these cute little mailboxes or another of my files, be sure to tag Lori Whitlock on Social media!  We would love to see what you create!
Have a great day!

Mini Mailbox Tutorial with Michelle

Happy New Year! Now that we’ve said goodbye to 2018, it’s time for me, Michelle, to start my 2019 Valentine crafts. Today I would like to share a tutorial for one of Lori’s Mini Mailboxes. It’s a classic! You can find the SVG files at the Silhouette Design Store, or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

Mini Paper Mailbox using I HEART Crafting by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park Paper

The file is adorable and so easy to put together. It would be great as a treat box or a fun place for children to leave little notes. It would be a fun snow day activity too. The possibilities are endless, so let’s get started!

Mini Mailbox Pieces cut from SVG Files

First, cut out your pieces. I used the Lori Whitlock I HEART CRAFTING line by Echo Park Paper. It’s not Valentine or Love themed paper, but the pinks and reds are perfect for both! Tip: It’s easier to glue down your embellishments while it is still flat. The paper will curve easier if you use a dry adhesive, like a tape runner or double sided tape for your embellishments. 

Photo Tutorial For Paper Mini Mailbox Assembly

Here are the steps to assemble the mailbox:

  1. Using a kitchen skewer or dowel rod, gentle train the paper to curve as shown.
  2. Fold all glue tabs inwards and apply adhesive. I used a quick dry liquid glue.
  3. Turn the box on its end and place your hand inside to push down against the table. This will give you a flat surface to push against and make sure that the glue tabs are all attached to the inside.
  4. Attach the mailbox flag to the base with a brad. Tip: Using a brad will allow the flag to move, but if you don’t have any, it will still be cute! Try gluing a button for another fun look!

The cute little postage stamps shown in the photo are also from Lori’s SVG files. You can find them at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, or at the Silhouette Design Store. The other decorative elements I cut from some of Lori’s other various files.

The little pull tab at the top allows the mailbox to open easily. Especially for little fingers!
