We made a 3-sided cabin from carpet rolls.  It fits in the entryway to our cafeteria, so the kids walk through the cabin door into the cafeteria.  I would like to make the cafeteria look like the inside of the cabin.  I have a rocking chair and knitting basket, wooden basket with faux veggies, butter churn, lanterns and dishes.  I would like to make a fireplace using a cardboard box.  Has anyone done this and have ideas or a picture to share?  Other easy ideas are welcome.  We start Sunday.

I used this idea a few years ago, it worked out really well!

God Bless,

We used dryer boxes.  Cut in half...cut out opening for fire.  Sponged outside to look like rocks.  Set logs inside over a flashlight...tucked in red and yellow tissue to look like fire....turn on light and behold...fire!...

God Bless,

teacher supply stores have the fake fireplaces that are used at Christmas. You can probably find them online.

If you have an active Cub/Boy Scout troop in your area they may have something that they can loan you.  They usually have a faux campfire for their ceremonies.
