Paint it
If you get away with painting, you could give new life to the old post office using acrylic colors.
Cover the interior with the adhesive paper
Another nice idea to embellish the mailbox, if the model is the American one, consists in decorating the interior with adhesive paper with an attractive design. Just cut it to size and glue it carefully.
Decorate it with mosaic cards
If you know the mosaic technique, you could try to cover the American mailbox with colored cards, using a specific mosaic glue. Although it is a rather demanding job, the final result will certainly be surprising.
Decorate it with decoupage
If the mailbox is in a repaired place, another ideal technique to decorate it is the decoupage. Just procure you for the decoupage card, but it is also very good for the card obtained from old magazines. Paste the paper on the box until it completely covers it, then passes a layer of vinavil glue mixed with a little water even above, creating a transparent finish that will protect the coating and ensure greater resistance over time.
Decorate it with stencils
Stencils are a perfect solution to obtain beautiful and precise decorations with minimal effort.
