FIREPLACE.

Use two chocolate peppermint boxes of the same size, or one peppermint box and its cover; also a long and narrow cover of some other box.

1. Stand the boxes on their ends. If too tall for the mantel, cut them off; but be sure to cut off the tops, as the bottom ends are needed to fasten to the hearth.

2. Use extra cover for shelf and fasten the ends to the boxes.

3. Use extra cardboard for hearth and back. “Score” and bend it.

4. Set the mantel on the hearth and close against the back. Let the back slant out while you fasten through bottoms of mantel into the hearth.

5. Push the back up again and reach under the shelf, to put fasteners through back edge into the back.

6. Make “mirror” of silver paper or real looking-glass, using extra cardboard as in the dresser.

7. Use small box and its cover for the grate. Cut slats and legs. Fasten the back of grate to back of fireplace.

8. Paint grate with black enamel and the “woodwork” like your furniture, or with white enamel. Paint the hearth and fireplace like brick or tiles.
