Your mailbox is looking a little drab and so you are looking for some DIY mailbox ideas to spruce up its appearance. Straight to the point, you basically have three options:

  1. Buy a new mailbox
  2. Paint your mailbox
  3. Buy a magnetic cover!

 

If your current mailbox is still functioning well, preventing wet mail, and is standing strong, it may be hard to put out the extra effort to replace your whole box.  If you are artistically inclined, painting your mailbox is a great way to customize and add your personal touch.  However, if you did not receive the artist gene, a mailbox cover is the way to go!

These mailbox covers attach to your metal mailbox using included magnets.  However, if you have a non-metal mailbox, there is an adapter kit available.  The covers include a pre-cut slit to slide over the flag, so there is almost no work to be done on your part.  Additionally, most covers include a set of stick-on numbers so that you can still display your address number.

 

The variety of covers available is overwhelming.  You can find covers that coordinate with the seasons and holidays, display your favorite sports team, show off your pets, or just display a beautiful design to help you stand out from the neighbors.  You can even get them monogrammed with your last name initial.

It is important to note that most of these covers fit standard size mailboxes. So if you have an oversized or irregular shaped mailbox, these will not look as well. Overall, this a cheap and quick way to enhance your mailbox appearance and also reflect your personal style. Not only that, but if you get tired of the look after a while, just take it off or switch it out with a new one!
