DIY: Repaint Your Mailbox

STEP 1: Depending on the amount of paint still left on your mailbox you may want to strip the paint. Using a paint scraper lightly go around the mailbox on all sides removing the paint.

STEP 2: Prime the mailbox. You can use household wall primer available at most local home stores.

 

STEP 3: Paint your mailbox your choice of base color. My mailbox was originally red so i decided to repaint it red, but brighter. Remember you may have to do more than one coat of paint. I used basic acrylic paint. Also, be sure that your paint is waterproof as a mailbox is outside and will get wet.

STEP 4: PERSONALIZE! BE ORIGINAL!!!! Make sure that your mailbox looks like no one else's.

DON'T FORGET TO LAY NEWSPAPER DOWN!!!

DIY: Short Overalls

Step 1: Buy a pair of pants. You might want to go to the Salvation Army or Goodwill store because you don't want to spend too much money on something that you are just going to cut up.

Cabrini Roy on Youtube will explain how to make your overalls:

Last Step: Personalize your new overalls!!!! Painting with fabric paints or markers can be very cool and will make your overalls very original unlike any others.

Another great idea would be to use old ties as overall straps.
