Pokemon Valentine Mailbox
Instructions for making a Valentine mailbox that looks like a pokeball. A great way to gather your Valentine's day cards.

Materials Needed:
  • 2 Heavy Paper Plates
  • Paint
  • Glue
Instructions:
Draw a line across the center of one of the paper plates and cut it in half. Paint the back side of the cut paper plate red. You can also paint half of the whole paper plate red. Set aside to dry. Once the paint is dry, glue the plates together. Put the whole paper plate on the table, with the right side up. Place the 1/2 paper plate on top of the first one, right side down. This will make a gap in the middle. If you paint half of the whole plate red, make sure the red sections line up together.

Color pictures of your favorite Pokemon and cut it out (you can find some Pokemon Picture Here). Glue the Pokemon picture on the inside of the paper plate.

Cut a 1/2 inch strip of black paper long enough to fit across the paper plate. Glue the black strip across the straight edge of the 1/2 red plate.

You can now add heart stickers, a white heart doily, and any other decorations you want. Wha-la! A cute valentine mailbox fitting with our Pokemon times! :)
