2. As boxes you can use large matchboxes. There may be several.
3. You can make a side table from the remains of the same shoe box.
4. To make the table look good, it can be pasted over with a film “under the tree” or simply painted with any paints that you have.

• We will make the table leg from a roll of toilet paper. Attach the roll to the paper and make notes on its width. Cut a strip of paper across the width of the sheet and glue it on the roll. Glue large and small circles to the roll on both sides. Due to the small circle, the table will be stable.

Clothespin clothes are very beautiful and original. Before work, you need to remove the springs from the clothespins and divide all the clothespins into two halves:

• To assemble the seat for the chairs, you need to glue together a few halves. Dry the workpiece well.
• For stool legs it is enough to glue two parts of clothespins.
• For a table between two halves, you need to glue the third, after turning it over with the thicker side.
• After the parts have dried, 2 legs of the chair need to be fastened with an additional transverse part of the clothespin.
• Now we begin to collect the backs of chairs and the surface of the table. Assembly is from the middle. It looks like a peacock tail. For a chair, you need to collect a semicircle, and for a table - a full circle.

Important! For convenience, you can stick clothespins not only to each other, but also to a round cardboard blank for a table and a semicircle for chairs.
