Construction

Make the corner trim 4 inches longer than the length of the box. Remove one side. Place the box on end and nail the top on, allowing it to project evenly on all sides. Turn the box upside down and put on the legs. Fit the door between the legs and hang it. Bore six rows of holes 1/2 inch in diameter through each side, near the top, and four rows near the bottom. Care should be taken that the holes are laid out with equal spaces- about 1 inch from center to center of holes. Bore a hole 1/2 inch in diameter through the projecting corner of the top, half-way between the outside corner of the leg and the corner of the top. Lay one of the lower pieces of the corner frame on top, directly in line with the holes, allowing the frame pieces to project equally over the top. Mark the position of the holes and bore them 1/2 inch in diameter, and use this as a pattern to bore the other three pieces. The crown frame will be suspended by a knot tied in each rope and should be about 3 inches above the top of the lantern. The same artistic features of hanging should be observed as are described for the Hanging Flower-box, Illustration No. 12.
