Going back with our craft project today, this Santa Mailbox is super fun for the kids. I know many of my readers are still under COVID restrictions, so I hope this template bring s a little fun into your day.

DIY Santa Mailbox
Sending letters to Santa in the North Pole will be super easy this year with this cute printable Letters to Santa mailbox. This post provides you with a step by step tutorial on how to make this cute mailbox and a printable template.
Tools
- Scissors
- Craft Knife
- Cutting Mat
- Ruler
- Glue
Instructions
- Download our FREE Santa Mailbox and Letter Templates. Then print it out on cardstock paper. Printing the template on regular printing paper does not make for a very sturdy mailbox.
- Cut out all of the templates.
- Using your craft knife and cutting mat, cut the white rectangular shape on the front template.
- Fold the flaps of the side template and bottom template. Use a ruler to make perfect creases.
- Fold the broken lines seen on the back template. Fold it alternately.
- Glue the side template together with the front template.
- Glue the upper part of the front template to the triangle-shaped flaps to create a curve.
- Glue the back template together with the side template.
- Glue the bottom template.
- Now it's time to invite your kids to make a letter for Santa and put it inside the mailbox!
- You can also download and print our FREE Santa Letter template from our Freebie Library. Pretend to be Santa and write a reply to your kid's letter using The North Pole Express letter *wink*
