old mailbox

I have an old mailbox and need websites or ideas on what to do with it. Can someone help me please?

Thank's.

If it is a rural box in good shape paint it with a white metal paint and then paint flowers, state flag or what ever on it. I bought one for $45 painted white with the Texas flag and blue bonnets and it is so pretty, the only one on the street and the mail lady said she loves it because most are black and ugly. The lady that did mine sells at shows and uses new boxes.

Hi there. I have an idea for you if it is a rural mailbox and you have a garden. Paint it with flowers, butterflies etc... and put in your garden to store your small garden tools.

You can plant an ivy to trail out of it.

It can be decorated and used to at a wedding to put the cards in.

Here is a website that shows you how to make and umbrella stand out of an old mailbox.
