DIY Noah's Ark Valentine Mail Box

Mini Noah's Ark Valentine Mailbox

       I've include a Noah's ark Valentine mailbox for those of you who are nostalgic about Sunday toys.

 Supply List:

• faux printed wood grain paper
• white school glue
• masking tape
• cardboard
• faux water printed paper
• black acrylic paints
• tiny bit of oven-bake clay to shape a small dove
• a bit of wire and green paper to make an olive branch
  

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• First you will need to cut and shape a simple boat shaped box. I made my version of Noah's ark to look like a capital letter "A" with a closed end. 
• Then I cut an arched doorway from the side and took that cut door, bent it down and pasted it to a second piece of cardboard cut to look like a large pool of water. This pool serves as a stand for the ark.
• Next, you will need to shape a simple 'house' with four sides and a ''V'' shaped roof. 
• Decoupage the entire boat with faux ''wood'' printed paper.
• Paint the interior of the ark shaped mailbox black.
• Cut small portal "heart" shaped windows for the boat and paste them across the center of the ark's boat shaped walls.
• Use a permanent ink marker to draw and color in the tiny details that are too difficult to cut from paper.

as the stand for this Valentine mailbox craft.
