• 3 tissue(Kleenex) boxes
• origami paper or other colorful paper
• scissors
• glue

3. Leave  little space again and cut a 7 cm flap from the bottom. Cut this one completely off. It will be the vegetable crisper box.
4. Cut the back off another Kleenex box and fit it inside the first one to make the inside back of the refrigerator.
5. Glue colorful paper all over the outside of the box.
6. Cut 2 6x13.5cm rectangles from another tissue box and use them to make the shelves on the inside. Fold up the ends and glue to the inside of the box.

8. Cover another piece of tissue box with colored paper and cut 1x9cm strips and glue them on for the refrigerator handles. You could also just cut a lip in the drawer and pull it out with your finger.
