 1. Use ruler to draw lines as a guide for cutting your boxes. Measure 3½” from the side and draw a verticle line (this is the height of the front of the mail organizer); turn box over, measure and draw another line 5¼" from the side; cut (this is the center of the organizer). Take your second box and, again, measure 5¼" from the side; cut (this is the center and will match up to first box). Turn over, measure and draw a line 6” (do not cut on this line). Use template, measure and cut a curve for the back of your organizer, save a scrap piece of box to cut out oval sign. 2. Glue or tape ends closed and place both the 5¼” sides together, draw a slope line from the 6” sides to the 3½" sides and cut out. 3. Use Mod Podge and glue both the 5¼" side together. 4. Rip the map into approx. 2” pieces and use Mod Podge to randomly glue onto and cover cereal boxes; overlap as you work; dry and give a second coat; dry. 5. Use oval template and scrap piece of box to cut out “Mail” sign; cut slits on each side the width of your ribbon (refer to photo). 6. Paint oval Teddy Bear Tan; dry. Dry brush Fresh Foliage and paint edges with Aspaltum to give a distressed look. 7. Use stickers or Sharpie to spell “Mail” and give a coat of Mod Podge; dry. 8. Feed ribbon through slits and attach to the organizer using hot glue to secure.
