NuiMOs Refrigerator

The next piece of furniture is actually an appliance: the refrigerator! This is another piece that I started with a box that I had. I thought that I was the perfect size for a nuiMO to use. It was a lot better than having to cut out all the individual pieces for the body/structure of the fridge. And I was lucky enough that this one opened up sideways.

Here's what you'll need:

• A Box
• Thinner Cardboard
• Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
• Craft Foam
• Bamboo Skewers
  

In the first two photos I show how I decided to design the doors. I wanted my freezer to be on the bottom so I cut the door accordingly. I then added a piece of cardboard to separate the two main compartments

I then added a box to the freezer door that was just the right size to be snug but not to the point where it was difficult to slide out.

I then focused on the main compartment. I made two little shelves out of thin cardboard for the inside, but I had to make sure that the didn't go all the way to the front. I needed to make sure that I had room for the shelves that I added to the door so it would close flush.

After finishing the inside, I covered the outside with craft foam. I covered it by doing the top, the back, the sides, and then the doors. I wanted to make sure when you looked at it from the front that you couldn't seem any seams. I then used the bamboo skewers as handles. And something I forgot to take a picture is gluing a Mickey head shape to the front to give some Disney magic.

I hope this makes tackling a refrigerator for your nuiMOs a little less daunting. Please remember to share your creations here or with @disneynuimosdiy on Instagram. Have fun crafting!
