Santa Mailbox

I created this mailbox for my upcoming craft fair. I tried to make the box look like a Santa suit. I plan to fill it with candy. I've learned from past craft fairs to fill the box; the children are very disappointed if there isn't anything in it! :)

The Santa face is made from punches, a design created by a couple of my fellow demos who generously passed it on. So thanks go to Dawn Olchefske and Kelly Acheson.
