Hi. It’s late. I know. I seem to be doing this a lot to myself lately. However, no matter how much turmoil life throws at me, I keep telling myself it is all for a greater purpose. One side of the roof is complete-ish.
I had this notion to create a network of beams that “supported” the roof planks. But then I thought, nah. I just cut out a section of cardboard to fit the roof area. A little bit of glue…see what I did there…and viola’ – a foundation to glue my roof shingles.
For the shingles, I used the proven method of employing pinking shears to cut a scallop shape of my “roof plate” material. In this case, the material I am using is old, thin card tissue boxes I have collected over a few cold/flu seasons. They are easy to cut with the pinking shears. If you can’t get a hold of these specialty scissors, I have an affiliate link to some off the Amazon site.


Check out the gallery.






I also added windows to the 3rd floor, because the missing backside of the building wasn’t enough light for some reason.

See you next time.
Happy crafting!
