Spent the day roofing

Decided against wooden shingles, mainly because they collect dust like crazy. Using a laser cut card stock product, spray painted with a textured Rust-Oleum variate brown color. They really do look like asphalt shingles.

Where did you find a laser cut card stock product for shingles if I may ask please? I really like the shape. I have never liked working with wooden shingles, on an older house the builder actually used fabric that looks like folded bias tape and must have dipped it in something to make it harder, but its a great effect after all these years.

I found the shingling strips on the Hobby Builders Supply internet site. They cost more but I finally decided there are some things worth paying extra for. They are very easy to work with.

These are nice! I really like the shape and overall appearance too. I wonder if this is something that you could design yourself if you have a Silhouette machine? I don't, but have a friend who does, and am thinking she and I need to have a craft night very soon! :)
