Looking for kids mailbox directions

[chalupamom]

Anyone know of a link for directions to crafting a kid's mailbox? My son wants one so he can get mail in his room and he disapproves on the one I made out of a shoebox! He wants it to open in the front and have a red flag that he can raise when mail is go out.

I am way to tired to figure this out on my own. Any clever mamas out there have ideas?

My addled mind thanks you!

I get the tiny metal ones they sell during the holidays filled with candy (Valentines, Easter, Christmas). The last ones are from JoAnn's and Target. They are easily painted and have the red flag and all. I use them in the garden by the various teepees and playhouses. Oh, they also have them from papier mache at the craft stores. I just remembered that! Michael's and AC Moore have sections for papier mache stuff. Have fun!
