Same as for Scrap-box, Illustration No. 10, with the addition of 30 feet of ordinary clothes-line.
Proceed the same as described for the construction of the scrap-box. Bore three 1/2 inch holes in that part of the leg projecting above the top of the box, one hole in one face and two holes in the other face of each leg, all located at different levels as shown by knots in the illustration. The rope is knotted on each side of the holes to hide them. Make a variety of knots, using two in some and three in others, thus giving the desired artistic effect, as the charm of hanging boxes depends largely upon that novel and simple method of hanging. Knot the ropes at uneven intervals as you will, without regard to any rule, so long as you obtain the desired effect. Note. The Hanging Flower-boxes shown in the Living-room Interior are two of these boxes, each hung from an end of a rope, which is suspended, and slides over two hooks, and as one plant is drawn down to be watered, the other plant rises.
