Sooooo.. a whole year ago I wanted to make some felt mailboxes and came here and said I was going to, and I never did. LOL But just the other day I got the inspiration from this website:

and I did it. I finally made a mailbox (actually 2) Here they are. They are not perfect and I didn't follow the directions exactly, (I never do), but I like them. One is for my boys for Christmas, the other a friends birthday. They are the same material though. Total cost was $1.50 each for some magnents. Otherwise I used everything I had on hand. I should mention, mine are not as stiff as the tutorial, because I did not have plastic canvas. Mine are pretty squishable, but I'm okay with that. I also just used a snap to put the flag on and it works just fine.
