Celebrating the release of the May Gibbs 100th Anniversary Stamp release from Australia Post we decided our little bush babies needed their own little bush fairies letter box. Collect a few sticks from the backyard or local park and you're ready to start.
You will need:
• Small sticks
• Small Rock
• Gumnuts or gum blossoms
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
Make Your Own Bush Fairy Letterbox
Instructions:
Step 1:
Cut a small piece of card and roll, this will become the frame for your letterbox.
Step 2:
Break up some small sticks into the length you want for your letterbox. You will also need a few longer sticks for the post of the letterbox.
Step 3:
Glue the sticks around your card using the hot glue gun. You now have your letterbox. You also need to glue on your letterbox post - we used two slightly bigger sticks to make it a bit stronger.
Step 4:
To help the letterbox stand up we hot glued the letter box post to a rock and we added a little flower blossom to help our letter box stand out to the bush fairy postie.
Step 5:
Place your letterbox in the garden for the bush fairies to receive their mail!
