Wrapped Christmas Ribbon or Garland
One decorating idea for Christmas that will cost you hardly anything is to simply wrap your mailbox along with the post with Christmas ribbon or even with deco mesh.
Starting at the front of the mailbox or at the bottom of your post, simply just wrap the ribbon in a diagonal pattern to cover the whole entire thing. If you wish you can add a bow on top of the box with the matching ribbon or a complimentary ribbon.
You can even add in a simple red bow that you can find at the dollar store on the back of your mailbox or the post to add a bit more to it.
If you don’t mind paying a bit more of you simply have some extra lying around, you could also do the same with evergreen garland as well.
Big Red Christmas Bow
Keep it real simple and easy this Christmas and just tie on a big red bow onto the post of your mailbox.
You can always find large red bows (or other colors) at your local discount stores or you could spend an extra few dollars on a nice, unique red bow as well. Just be sure that the bow can be used outdoors especially if you live in area where it snows or rains quite a bit.
The bow just adds a simple and classic touch to your mailbox and looks good with just about any other outdoor Christmas decoration you may have in your yard.
Decorating your mailbox for Christmas is a great way to add some holiday spirit to your yard and welcome friends and family to your home this season.
It doesn’t take a lot of time or even effort but it may just put a smile on your face or your neighbor’s face each day.
