Due over your sublet forbids roaring fireplaces in your apartment, doesn't tight-fisted you can't practise the phantasm of a warming hearth. You can make a pretended fireplace to substitute for the valid configuration on a wintry after hours. The lone disadvantage is that you can't roast marshmallows in it.
Instructions
1. Dawn with a fireplace grill. These can be cheaply had at a garage sale or thrift shop, or borrow one for the drop of the occurrence. Disinfected it up and, provided chipped, touch it up so it is admirable and livid. Stack two stable at the backside, then two or three on top. Emulsion them with some ash and charcoal accents for realism.3. Sew flames from your cloth, which should be light and flexible.
This goes in the centre of your platform, which should be as Broad as the fireplace wrap (assuming you carry one) and buried Sufficiently to grasp the grill.2. Arrange the logs.
The easiest method is to take three or four scarves in red, orange and yellow and cut them the width of the grill less about a third. Raggedly cut the flames between 8 and 12 inches high. Hot glue them to the back of the top log by taking out the top log, turning it over and gluing them so they point down and the tops are staggered. Return the log to the pile when the glue cools.
4. Position a small fan underneath the flames to blow them upward during the scene. Avoid overkill: you just need one of those little handheld fans people use in summer. Duct tape it in position after someone in the house confirms that it looks right. Add an optional 6 volt red light or have someone backstage make a crackling sound with some cellophane or an old crisp bag as the scene starts.
