Directions:

First, I made the side all in one piece.

2-14.  HDC in each st across.  Ch1 and turn.  (55)

15.  DC in each of the first 4 st.  FO and weave ends.  *Sk 3 st.  Insert hook into next st.  Ch1.  DC in same st and next 3 st.  FO and weave ends.* Continue to rep from * to * across, leaving the last two st unworked.  FO and leave a long tail to weave ends together. 

 

Close the piece horizontally with right sides facing each other.  Whip stitch the short ends together.  Weave ends and trim excess. Turn right side out. 

Now, you will make the top portion.

8-10.  HDC in each st across.  Ch1 and turn.  At the end of Row 10, FO and leave a long tail for attaching the top to the side piece.  

 

You will whipstitch the top and side together and weave ends.  I placed my side piece on the tissue box cover.  I then placed the top piece on and just whipstitched around to attach the two pieces together.  

 

For the door, I used purple yarn and single crochet stitches.

Door Handles:

I used yellow puff paint.

 

Black metal Door Plates:

I used black puff paint. 

My puff paint skills aren't the greatest, as of yet.  You can crochet instead of using paint.  The next time I make one I will crochet instead of using the paint.  

That's it for this project!!!!  Hope you guys enjoy it.  Happy Easter weekend...
