KENNETH: Hi I’m Kenneth Wingard from Home Made Simple. Today I’m going to show you how to take a classic mailbox and turn it into a personalized cubby. Mailbox time! MAN: Alright! KENNETH: We’ve got these great little frames and what we are going to do is we’re going to paint them and we’ll reverse paint the glass. And then we’ll be reassembling these and gluing these on the front. So then the kids can come and write their names on the front. So first thing we’ll do is we’ll remove these… Alright let’s get painting! With the glass we just want to paint one side—so you just don’t want to move it while you’re painting it. MAN: Right. KENNETH: I think we’re dry. Let’s just get the flags back on and then we can get our frames on the front. Just to mix things up a little bit. Let’s switch some of the colors. MAN: Ok. KENNETH: Your move. MAN: Red on yellow. KENNETH: I call green on orange. MAN: Alright. KENNETH: Alright. So now let’s just get them glued on. So what you’re going to do is—a little drop of glue on your inside corner here, and then drop you frame in, and you want it non-painted side out. So now they’ve got a nice glossy surface to do our marker paints on. And then give a good bead all around. So you’ve go that little indentation that’s already there. So we’ll use that as our guide and press them on. So now what we did here to get these on—all I did was cut a little piece of wood to put here. Secured it with two screws, and then I had something to put the bracket into. MAN: I love it! Thank you, Ken. It’s amazing. KENNETH: Boom! Well done. KENNETH: Not too hard.
