Make a Realistic Fireplace From Cardboard

I wanted to make a life size fireplace for a long time, so here it is.

You need:
2 large TV cardboard boxes
A box cutter
Scissors
Tape
Hot glue
Wood design contact paper
Marble design contact paper
Pencil

You need:
two large cardboard boxes ,
a box cutter,
scissors,
tape,
hot glue,
wood design contact paper,
marble design
a pencil
Black acrylic paint
White acrylic paint

Cut Out a Rectangle in the exact middle of one box to Leave Space for the "fire."

Cut the second box in half to make the hearth and mantle of the fireplace.

Apply Brick Peel And Stick Wallpaper to the front of the fireplace. (they come in all colors and designs).

Paint both sides of the box to match the front of the box.

Step back and take a look at your work. Apply wood design contact paper to the cardboard mantle of your fireplace.

Apply marble design contact paper to hearth of the cardboard fireplace.

Place the smaller painted box inside your fireplace to resemble a real fireplace.

To make the fire look authentic I found two short lamp stands from the thrift store and LED flame effect light bulbs that flicker just like real fire and placed inside the box. Plug the lights into an outlet and it is finished.
