grynche Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 There is an article by Charlene Horrocks, detailing how she made a tree bark roof for her Sugarplum house. It's the article I asked about earlier. The date of the article is 9/12/06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it was helpful & do be sure to share pics of your creation for us to ooo and aaaa over You wanted to use white birch, right? That should be terrific as a roof with great color variations and textures. Can't wait to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grynche Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have a couple of bags of birch bark 'sheddings' from the trees in my yard. Never any idea of what to do with it, until I saw the bark roof. Thinking there's a birch bark covered gnome home in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thinking there's a birch bark covered gnome home in the future. Obviously a forest gnome!!! Y'know it would probably make great siding if you have to 'build' a tree stump Never gotten into building the forest/elf/gnome habitats, but they're so adorable & I love them so I'll be watching to see what you come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just be sure to bake your birch bark (or seed pods, or any "natural" materials you want to use to mini, at least 15 minutes at 350 degrees, to kill any critters. Actually I wrap my goodies in foil, preheat the oven to 400, put in the packet and after 10-15 minutes turn the oven off. When the packet's cool enough to take out barehanded I pop it into the freezer for a couple of days, then another bake session like the first. No critters.
