ABSTRACT:
A decorative cover for a mailbox door includes a sheet that is contoured to fit on the mailbox door. The sheet can include a cut-out to accommodate the mailbox latch. The front surface of the sheet carries a desired graphic, such as a decorative indicia or design. The cover sheet is formed of a material that allows substantially the entire back surface of the sheet to be attached directly to the mailbox cover by an affinity between the cover sheet material and the mailbox cover material. In one embodiment, this affinity is accomplished by magnetism through the use of a magnetic sheet. In an alternative embodiment, the affinity property is electrostatic or static cling.
