Shingles are finished!

But I cheated...sort of. I didn't use all those l stained before. I decided I wanted I asphalt shingles so I cut shingle strips from sand paper. After gluing them on I dry brushed stain over them to add some color.

  2. What do you use to cut the sandpaper. I want to do that with my willowcrest roof but am worried about the sandpaper tearing up a blade.

    I really like how it turned out and the stain adds some nice depth

  3. Thank you!

    April, I cut strips of sandpaper with my paper cutter and then cut notches with scissors. I used cheap sandpaper from Dollar Tree and it didn't seem to be to hard on my paper cutter blade.
