I got my first commissioned project!

I’ll be re-doing this mailbox I picked up off of Facebook Marketplace ($25), for a wedding present for someone getting married in October 2025!

They were inspired by my newspaper display DIY (see other post) and looking to have one at their wedding.

This mailbox is going to be done in CO and shipped to PA 😱

Can’t wait to do this project!!

Kinda want to wait until after Christmas so I can appreciate its current style! It’ll go great in my home as my house turns into a Christmas village come the start of December!

Creating DIY wedding gifts can be a delightful experience! Custom mailboxes are not only functional but also add a personal touch to the wedding decor. Choosing materials and designs that match the couple's style is crucial. Consider incorporating elements like their favorite colors or motifs that symbolize their love story. Sharing your process through Instagram or a blog post can engage a wider audience, showcasing your craftsmanship. Plus, a personalized mailbox serves as a beautiful keepsake for the couple, allowing them to cherish their memories in a unique way. If you're feeling adventurous, explore additional DIY options like hand-painted signs, flower arrangements, or custom decorations to enhance the overall wedding theme. Just remember to plan your projects ahead to avoid the holiday rush, especially if you're aiming for a winter wedding setup!

So nice I made it twice!! I’ve had so many rave reviews of my boho bag that I was commissioned by a friend to create one for her.
