Personalizing Your Cedar Mailbox

I don’t know about you, but I think that a cedar mailbox is the most attractive kind of mailbox there is! However, you can make your cedar mailbox even more aesthetically pleasing by personalizing it. You can paint your name or even a one of a kind design on your mailbox. Or, if you are not artistically inclined, you can use a stencil. Get creative and really put your personality into your mailbox!
If you choose to design your own image for your mailbox, be sure to plan it out before painting it onto the wood. Draw it out on paper first, and once you are satisfied with your design, lay a sheet of tracing paper over it and trace away. Then, set the tracing paper on the wooden mailbox and trace over it again. You’ll be able to see the indentations on the wood, and then fill in the rest with paint.
Your mailbox is the perfect place to make a statement and share your creativity with the world. It is the first thing your guests will see when pulling into your driveway, and a personalized mailbox allows you to welcome them into your home before they even get out of the car. It also will make it much easier for them to find your house!
