Christmas Mailbox, Christmas Polar Bear, & Christmas Candle!
By Connie Hughes Designs©

The Christmas Mailbox will be so fun for little one's to check every day...to see if

Santa's been there to leave a little surprise...and there's a fun little

Christmas Polar Bear who's super easy to make...Also I saw a lot of crochet candles online

but none of them that I saw actually light up...but this Christmas Candle does!

 This is a battery powered Flickering Tea Light!

Because this post has several different patterns, I've colored each project.
Christmas Mailbox: Red
Christmas Polar Bear: Blue
Christmas Candle: Green

This whimsical mailbox is easy to make...although it does take some time to make it...but imagine the little one's eyes light up when they see the candy cane flag in the up position...you can really delight the little one's in your life with special treats and letters from the big guy. If making it for a small child to play with, be careful with small parts and maybe leave them off entirely.

Once your mailbox is done...you can decorate it however you like...I glued Christmas lights above and around the front door. First I decided where my Rick Rack was going to be put, then I hot glued my lights in place. After I was done with that I then glued my Rick Rack down. I cut out a long piece of green yarn, I dipped it into the Mod Podge using my fingers to remove the excess. I laid it out on a piece of foil to dry, making sure to give the strand some waves. Once it dries
place a small drop of hot glue to the backs of each light and attach the yarn. Do this all the way across.
