In a house with four roommates we really need our own space for things and that includes mail. I have seen many pocket style mail holders in stores but couldn’t stand spending $30 bucks just to put my mail someplace! So this is my version that I came up with. It was surprisingly easy. And here’s how I did it.

Supplies: Scissors, decorative paper, left over cereal boxes and double-sided tape

First I measured the area and cut the cardboard to size, adding an inch and a half for the side flaps. I then covered the inside of the back with a light green paper.

Next, I folded and taped the box up and covered it with decorative paper that was left over from another project. As a final little touch I stamped each persons initial on the front.
