I had read somewhere on one of the forums that it was wise to make roof patterns out of brown craft paper. Before I glued the dollhouse together I made my roof patterns and had stashed them away. Luckily I remembered I had them because it was so helpful when I began glueing on the individual roof shingles; especially on the gables which were difficult to get at. This first photo shows one of the gable roof patterns I used. It was so much easier to draw my lines and then glue on the shingles when the pattern was flat on my countertop. Once completed then the entire pattern piece was then glued onto the actual roof gable. This being my first dollhouse endeavor it sure made this process a bit easier! I used my patterns wherever I could but it especially was helpful on the many gables on the Garfield!
