Instructions
1. Print the "Fairy Mailbox" template (pdf doc below) onto A4 Card.

2. Cut out the mailbox, and score the lines, as shown below in red. Scoring leaves a dent in the card, making it easier to fold straight lines.
"Fairy Mailbox" Template. Score lines marked in red. Areas for glue or tape are in blue.
3. Fold the template along the scored lines and place double-sided sticky tape in the areas indicated (shown blue in the picture above). Use the needle to pierce holes for the mailbox handle and turn-mount.
4. Attach the turn-mount and handle. Secure on the back with tape (so any fairy letters don't catch on them).

5. Fold the template into a rectangular prism and secure the tape.
6. Decorate the Mailbox, if desired
