Anna Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Ok, so you know me by now, right ?!? I have this Idea, or notion, or might even be a hint of obsession to it, but I were wondering if there is something around that simulates corrugated plastic roofing material in the "milky-white" version? I know how to make it metal roofing, but I am wanting the half-see-throughish for a future greenhouse/gazebo build and for plotting benches, and, well I just want it in general LOL could be the version below, could be the "double" layers one too, just the shape and see-throughisness is necessery...

kathi17 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Mike gave you a wonderful link, but I thought I would mention something that would be a great help to recreate something like that in cardstock, in case anyone else finds it helpful. I make greeting cards and mini albums, as well as miniatures, and I have a scoring board for them. It's got little valleys every 1/8" that you run a bone folder down to score your lightweight materials, and make it easy to fold them into ridges and valleys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 These are both good ideas. Mike, that's a great site, thanks for the link. Kathi, I've been looking for a scoring board. Thanks for the image of yours, now I know Martha has them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Feel a need for a sporting board just because ;) I can see multipel mini used for that to... Hmm, will ask the lady at the local scrapbook store if she can get hold of one of those for me. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriJohn Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Have you heard of vellum? I used it in scrapbooking a lot. I think it comes in different weights like cardstock maybe. If you could Find a heavy weight vellum and used the score board that might work. Or I wonder if one of those pleating boards for curtains would work? The ridges would be deeper, I think.
