Other Cigar-box Furniture
Fig. 279.—A Doll's Folding-bed.
In [Figs. 279] and [Fig. 282] will be found some pieces of furniture that are simpler to make than those just described, and although they may not be so pretty, they present a very good appearance when neatly made.
The author constructed many pieces of this furniture when a boy, and found them suitable as presents, and something that was always easy to sell.
The cost of making a set amounts to but a few cents, cigar-boxes being the principal material. They are also very quickly made, as the boxes require but little cutting.
For the construction of
A Folding-bed, such as is shown in [Figs. 279] and [280], select two cigar-boxes, one of which will fit inside the other. The smaller box should be a little shorter than the inside opening of the larger box.
