This shows the shape of the
cardboard pieces that are used to form side walls
for a sloping roof; also the box cover roof placed in
position, and the hole for a chimney.
A. Side walls of cardboard, glued to box ends.
AA. Box cover placed on side walls. Square cut
out so that a box tower or chimney may be inserted
through its opening.

Triangular cardboard pieces
are cut and pasted to the upper part of a box to hold a
roof made from two interlapped box covers.
B. Gable roof made from two box covers.
BB. Triangular cardboard pieces cut to fit the
ends of a box and hold a gable roof.

This is a piece of
cardboard cut oblong and folded through its center,
lengthwise, to make a slanting roof. A deep box may
be cut down to hold this roof and make a gabled
building. Cut where heavy black lines indicate.
C. Roof cut from a piece of plain cardboard or
corrugated cardboard.
CC. Box cut down to make the low sides and
high-pointed gable ends of a small building.

D. Round-pointed roof cut from cardboard. Lap
edges x to x. This makes a tent also. The Indian
wigwam is made this way.
E. This is a wide box cover folded through its
center, rim cut up to the top on each long side. Bent,
it makes a tent or tent-shaped roof. This is like the
kennel roof.

Cut where the heavy black lines
indicate.
F. Ramparts are cut from the rim of a box cover.
G. A porch roof may be made by taking the
cover of any shallow box and pasting it over the doorway
of your building. The porch pillars are long
pencils run through holes cut in each forward corner
of the box cover.
