Reading edition
Materials Required:—
A piece of cork or a button mould, an empty matchbox, matches, needle and strong thread, a tiny piece of wire.
Fig. 78.
A little wheelbarrow can be nicely made out of a match or cardboard box. The legs and handles are of matches, and may be fixed on with mucilage and held steady with large strong stitches. The support for the wheel is made of a strip taken from the lid of the matchbox and narrowed at one end where it supports the wheel. The wheel may be made of a slice of cork or a button mould fixed on with a piece of wire bent into a knot at each end to prevent it being pulled through the support.
