CHAIR FOR DOLL’S HOUSE

Making of Cardboard Furniture Affords a Great Deal of Fun and Amusement. A great deal of fun and amusement can be derived in making cardboard furniture, and with the exercise of a little ingenuity, chairs, tables, stools, and all kinds of furniture can be constructed. As an example, to illus-

trate this, we give a diagram of a chair, which can be traced and then pasted on to a thin piece of cardCardboard Chair for the Doll’s House, board and left to dry, and then carefully cut out with a sharp pair of scissors. After that It is ah easy matter to bend the legs and haek into , their proper positions, and when this has hem done the chair will have the appearance shown la the small sketch

on the right-hand side, and to complete It, the paint-box ma? btf sailed into requisition, and-it can he colored. The dotted lines In the diagram indicate the points at which the cardboard should be bent, and It la a good plan to score across the cardboard at these places with the point of a penknife, in order that It may bend fr,eeFor making other pieces of furniture a rough diagram should be drawn upon the cardboard in pend! Id# then cat out. and after you havemade one or two articles in this way-you-will find it quite easy to. Invent and construct all kinds of things.
