- First, paint the candlestick & the wood circle pink, I used 2 coats of paint. Let that dry for about 10 minutes.
2. After the pink paint dries, take the circular foam brush & paint white dots onto the base and the candlestick, let that dry for about 20 minutes.
3. Once that dries, add hot glue to the top of the candlestick and stick the Mailbox right on top and hold it there for about a minute. When that’s done, add hot glue to the base and stick the candlestick right on top. Yes, I know that’s very unprofessional!, but we have had freezing temps here and I forgot to take the wood glue out of the garage to thaw it out!? I also had a very impatient daughter waiting for this!
4. I will say the hot glue has held up pretty well! So far it has not come apart!
5. Once that was all dried up I added these cute little Valentines Day envelopes to the mailbox, I found these in the Dollar Spot at Target.
