Use a box, with a cover which overlaps the box only a little.
For a large dresser use a shoe box.
For a medium sized dresser use a candy box, having the right kind of cover, or a corset box of the wide and shallow kind.
For a very small dresser use a jewelry box.
1. Cut the cover the height you wish the back to be.
2. Fit the box into the cover; hold with both hands, and slide the box up or down until it looks like a dresser.
3. Mark where you wish the bottom of the box to be cut off. Cut it off and fasten the two parts together.
4. Cut a hole for the “mirror” and fasten an extra piece of cardboard behind it. Paste silver paper on the cardboard, or fasten a real piece of looking glass between it and the back.
5. Cut pieces of cardboard for the “drawers,” and fasten them so that the fasteners look like knobs.
6. Paint to match the other furniture. Mark key holes.
