The boiler in the kitchen is the kind of round tin they use to pack blue-print paper in. I stood mine on a spool after I washed the printed paper off from it. You can use an old baking-powder tin, if you have no blue-print paper box. You can see how the kitchen sink is made—merely a box cover placed over the end of a deeper box. At the back of the box paste an upright piece of cardboard. The faucets are made from the two ends of a kid hair-curler pressed through the cardboard downward. The kitchen table is the lower half of a correspondence-card box. It is cut as if it were a bench with long legs. (For cutting the bench, see Diagram Six, _A_, page 175.) [Illustration: Boxcraft Doll-house Furniture. The Dining-room.] [Illustration: Boxcraft Kitchen Furniture for dolls. Stove, table, and sink are all boxes. The boiler is a tin box upon a spool.] You will have a very good time playing in your doll-house, if you make one. You can make a four-roomed house from four large bandboxes placed on their sides. Put two upon the floor and glue the other two to their tops. Of course, you will not need to use the covers of the boxes. Each bandbox will make a room. You can use strips of wall-paper for carpets and rugs. You can cut windows in the bandboxes. When you have furnished the doll-house, it will be quite like a real little home. I painted my furniture with ink. If you paint yours, be careful to put newspapers down under your work, and be very, very careful to use your brush as dry as you can. In this way your work will be evenly colored. Let the furniture dry thoroughly before you attempt to play with it. If you like, you may paint it with water-color paints. Little boxes make such fun! I can use _each_ tiny one! I have made a dollies’ bed, And a mantel, painted red! Bureaus, chairs,—a table, too! Oh, I have some work to do! Oh, I think that it is gay, Making furniture this way! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO MAKE THE BOXCRAFT GAME, “RINGFLING” =Material Required to Make “Ringfling”=: the deep lower half of a box over seven inches square, four long pencils, and about twelve square inches of cardboard. Ringfling is a jolly game. I am sure you will enjoy playing it. As many children as can play happily together may play the game. The first rule of the game is, “The more, the merrier!” It takes but a moment to collect materials with which to play the game. The game itself may be made in about ten minutes—or less. Take the deep lower half of some large square box and draw from corner to corner across its top. (See figure in Diagram Eleven, _A_, page 185.) Do this with heavy pencil lines. Number each section of the board but one, using the numerals, 1, 2, 3 (one numeral each). Leave one section blank.
