I found these 1 dollar metal mailboxes at target so I thought it would be fun to alter. I went shabby chic on it and I love it! I painted the mailbox with gesso, then dried it. Second coat was a tan acrylic paint and third coat was an off white acrylic paint color. After it was dry I rubbed some vintage photo distress ink on it. Then I used modeling paste to give it some texture. I dried it with my heating tool then used distress stain on it to give it more rustic color. I sprayed some lindys stamp gang sprays on it and let the colors run and melt down the box.
