How do I turn my hollow core pantry door into a screen door?

I know I've seen a link somewhere on how to do this but now I just cannot find it! I've redone my pantry and want the door to be a screen on the top side but once I cut into the door I'm not sure how to attach/fit a screen or chicken wire into it.

If I were to do this, I would cut the hole first. Then using spare wood I would make a frame smaller than the hole I cut. Then attach the chicken wire to the inside of the frame. Then attach the frame to the hole. Having the frame smaller will allow you to attach the wire and still have the frame sit flat on the door.
How I would do it. Cut the hole in the door. Staple screen material on both sides of the hole. Then just install molding around the hole to cover the stapled screen.
I guess you want your door for inside use? Wouldn't it be easier to buy one from home depot or make one from scratch?

Follow the instructions but add your chicken wire instead of glass!
