Altered Target Mailbox

Hello Bloggers,
Another project made with SU products, no cupcake or owl this time. This is a mailbox from the dollar section at Target. I love that they changed up the design a bit so you can take off both ends. I popped off the flag and made a hole in the same spot on the other side, with the crop-a-dile and added big brads to look like buttons. I used the SU houndstooth paper and scallop edger, and heart punch. I cut the handle 2" by 6" and folded in the long sides at 1/2" . I folded 1" on each side, punched holes, and added brads. I added a strip of houndstooth paper to middle of handle and added a heart. I would like to try it as a lunch pail as well but no time tonight. As I'm back looking at this I think that I need different Brads, something with more Bling, I'll have to see what I can find.
