STOVE.
Use two boxes of same size, with covers which overlap only a little, like collar boxes, candy boxes with this kind of cover, baby-shoe boxes or jewelry boxes.
1. Place one box right side up on top of its cover. Place between the two an extra cardboard, large enough to project from one end and side. Fasten through the bottom of box and cardboard, into the cover.
2. Shape the projecting cardboard into front and side hearths. Shape the legs.
3. Cut six holes in the other cover. Use silver half dollar or spool for pattern. Fasten on the top.
4. Fasten on the oven “doors,” etc. Study the picture to see how the fasteners have been made to look like hinges, by cutting two little slits for the prongs, and bending one out flat and then down. The “knobs” are put through one slit as in the dresser.
5. The pipe is made of a roll of stiff paper or a pasteboard mailing tube. Push through one hole; if it fits, it will not need to be fastened.
6. Paint it with black enamel.
