How to make a miniature Refrigerator

You can use cardboard if you have it, but I prefer to use foam poster board as it is a lot stronger.  You can find poster board in craft shops, Kmart, Officeworks, Spotlight etc.  It has a thin layer of cardboard on the outside and is filled with foam, this makes it far easier to cut than using balsa wood of the same thickness.

 Start off by cutting out the door, 2 sides and a back to the fridge.
My fridge door is roughly 12cm x 6 cm, with the side being slightly smaller 12cm high by 3cm wide.

Glue the fridge together to form a box.

Next cut two squares out of very thin cardboard for the front of the fridge.  This will make it look like it has doors.

You can also use thin cardboard for the top and bottom of the fridge.

Using cardboard again cut some handles for the fridge.

My fridge is going to be black with silver handles so I painted the entire fridge black first.

I painted the handles silver and slightly 'curled' the cardboard to make the handles stick out.
