[Illustration: PATTERN FOR WINDMILL SAILS]
=Diagram Five.= Take a square piece of paper. Fold it through its center
once. Fold the two halves to make quarters. Draw the outline _Z_ on the
piece of paper folded into quarters, and cut this as is indicated by the
heavy black line. This gives _ZZ_, the pattern for the windmill sails,
which are cut from it in cardboard.

[Illustration: BENCH FORM AND BED]
=Diagram Six.= Cut your box when it is inverted where the heavy black
lines show.
_A._ A bench form is made by cutting to right and left of each corner of
the lower half of an inverted box. Remove cardboard evenly from between
these cuttings to make legs of the bench.
_AA._ This is the cover of a box from which long side rims are cut. It
is glued to the bench form to make head and foot of a bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Illustration: BENCH WITH HIGH BACK]
=Diagram Six=, _B_. To make the bench with high back, use the lower half
of a box, inverted. Cut the rim where the heavy black lines are shown.
Cut front legs from the box rim on one long side. Turn up the other long
rim of the box to add to the height of the back. Fold upward on the
dotted line running lengthwise through the middle of the box.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Illustration: CHAIR]
=Diagram Six=, _C_. To make the chair, turn the lower half or cover of
your box so that it stands upon its rims. Cut where the heavy black
lines are shown in the diagram. Fold the back of the chair upward where
the dotted line is indicated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Illustration: TABLES]
=Diagram Six.= Tables are made from deep boxes by inverting the lower
half of the box and cutting legs in the rim as is shown by the heavy
black lines. Small boxes, square or round, placed upon upright spools
will form tables, stools, stands.
_D._ A table cut from a correspondence-card box. Cut where the heavy
black lines are shown in the diagram.
_DD._ A round table made with a spool and a box glued to its top.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Illustration: SCHOOL DESK AND PIANO]
=Diagram Six.= Cut where the heavy black lines are indicated. Glue at
_y_.
_E._ A school desk is made by standing the lower half of a small oblong
box upon one of its long rims. Cut in the box rim where you see a heavy
black line in the diagram. A piece of box rim is fitted below the top of
the desk inside the box to make a shelf.
_F._ Glue a narrow box across a larger box that is placed upon one of
its long sides at _yy_ to make a piano with keyboard.
