Because I had so much trouble with the printables for this roof (see previous post), I soaked all the paper and removed it. After a bit of glue removal, it's ready to start over. btw...Removing the printable paper and glue wasn't too bad a job at all...went fairly easy. But now I've painted the roof a medium brown as a basecoat for the new painted faux-shingles! I'll share some step-by-step photos of the faux painting next!
There's a lot of inexpensive, recycled things that can be used to shingle a dollhouse, but this dollhouse is being designed for a child, so I don't want to use anything that can break (sharp edges) or fall off. I've seen shingles made of sandpaper, egg carton cardboard, real shingles (cut to size), pine cone "tiles" ....many other things. Leave a comment if you have a shingle idea to add to list!
