After the windows have been glazed cut strips of fresh, smooth, ordinary wrapping-paper, not less than one-fourth of an inch wide, and cover the edges of each window glass with the strips, paste them on straight and even to form woodwork around the window as well as to cover the edges of the glass ([Fig. 436]). Fit the second box ([Fig. 425]) in the first one ([Fig. 424]), mark and cut off the portion of the first box ([Fig. 424]) extending beyond the front of [Fig. 425]; do the same with the third box ([Fig. 426]), that all three boxes may be of equal depth, and when fastened together the long front line may be straight and even.
If You Want the Doll House to Last for Years,
reinforce the building with strips of wood (A B C, [Fig. 424]; D E F, [Fig. 425]; G H I, [Fig. 426]). Where any two strips meet, glue the ends together and fasten to the pasteboard walls. If you cannot obtain very thin strips of wood, use strips of pasteboard as stiff as wood.
