I've finally shingled a dollhouse roof with pine cone scales,
The house itself is made from a pringles can and the roof under the scales is a paper cone covered in burlap. I descaled some pine cones and hot-glued each one in place. The natural look of them is fantastic!
The video is old and I spent a lot of time talking, you can fast forward over those parts. I uploaded this video to my crochet toy channel. Since this video I have started another channel dedicated to my miniature tutorials called Where The Gnomes Live.
I just love all your work, I will be making this (Or having a go) for my daughters birthday present
ReplyDeleteI had an awful glue and gave up on my pine cone roof, and used tree bark, I had a bag from my orchid plants, and only looked for thin pieces. I wish I had your patience :P
ReplyDeleteTerrific idea I have the pringles cans but still hunting the pine cones,
ReplyDeleteScarce as hens teeth here lol
Imalso have those large coffee cans to make a house as well gosh I will have to live 900 years to get all my projects done lol
Cheers Deni
haha YES! 901 years should give us enough time but we'd be cutting it close :) I hope you find some cones!
DeleteHehehehe! This will probably make us live longer then lol
DeleteHave a great day!
