DIY Doll's house fridge-freezer

Here's a doll's house fridge-freezer made from a biscuit box, some foam card and a few other bits and pieces.  
              



Instructions

First I took a biscuit box and cut it down to make two smaller boxes of the same size, with extra length to make flaps so I could close the boxes.





I lined the insides with foam card (apart from the front where I wanted the door to be), then glued the flaps shut.


I cut doors out of the front, then glued the two compartments together. Then I covered the outside with white foam card.






Next I traced and cut door frames from a piece of white card, and glued them onto the frames of the doors.



I also cut pieces of panelling for the inside and outside of each door from white foam card, which were slightly larger than the door itself. Once all glued in place, I trimmed them all down to size so that the doors were very slightly smaller than the frames and were able to close shut.


Next I made door handles from pieces of straw covered with the discarded silver wrapper from the biscuits that were inside the box! I glued the wrapper in place, and stuck silver star stickers onto the ends to seal the handles shut. 





I glued the handles in place on the doors, and cut a strip of coloured card and glued round the middle to cover the joints.


Finally I made shelving out of some corrugated plastic from a vegetable container, and I made a door shelf and vegetable tray from some moulded plastic from the inner packaging of a box of something (possibly a phone or modem) I'd kept by. 





And put it all together. All the shelves are glued in place, apart from the vegetable tray which is removeable. Voila!
