Dollhouse Assembly pt. 5 - Quick and Easy Asphalt Shingles

[@carmenm.4091]

For one of my dollhouses I made shingles out of egg cartons. Painted them in different shades of slate and cut them out to size (after some research on the internet) every single one of them. Very therapeutic 😂 The ones you use are like Cedar shingles. Very nice and a lovely end result.

Shingles from egg cartons is a great idea. Sounds like a lot of work, but I bet the texture looks realistic.

I’m so anxious for another video!!! To me your one of the best miniaturists I’ve ever seen!!!

[@ralenaglover9496]

This really does look quick and easy. I can’t wait to get to this step on my project. Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

I really like the shingle application. I like the way you find items that make the job easier.

[@angieaug]

Thank you! 🤗

When I made a tiny building I just got sandpaper, painted it the color i wanted, then cut it into strips and made little cuts to make it look like separate shingles. I heard the Dollar Tree sells sandpaper now

I have a bag of beautiful reddish/brown shingles that I dyed. Unfortunately they clash with the color of the house so much I decided to order some of these strips. I was glad to see your above video for some additional tips on how to use them. Great information, like all your other videos. Very helpful. Thank you !

[@angieaug]

Glad this was helpful, thanks for watching!

the first strip upside down is the best trick. thanks for sharing

You are so incredibly talented and your videos are always informative.

[@angieaug]

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’m doing my first dollhouse and I found some shingle strips in my storage. 😊 They were for a different dollhouse that ended up being way too advanced for me.

My hubs and I are cutting "slate" tile strips from egg cartons and omg it's tedious. But they look just like yours (albeit shorter) and they are free....Thanks for your awesome shows I love watching.

[@angieaug]

This is the second time I'm hearing about egg carton slates and I definitely want to try it. It does sound like a lot of work, but I bet they look awesome, and I love that they're free.

[@littlebit100]

Wow...simplicity at it's best! Thank you for sharing!

[@angieaug]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Your shingles look perfect on camera, but I’m wondering if you experienced a lot of the “asphalt” texture falling off? I bought some of these (may not be exact product) and I’m afraid by the time I’m done the shingles will look spotty. Wondering if I could seal it without making it shiny.

[@hangar8180]

I like the sunroom addition, and fast shingles make me wanna build a dollhouse cause I really hate doing that and yours look so real

[@angieaug]

Shingles are one of my least favorite things too. These make it so much easier

[@heatherparks6888]

You do such beautiful work.

[@angieaug]

Thank you!

[@maketevlerhis1865]

The houses look very nice

[@angieaug]

Thank you!

Thank you so much .. I cant tell you how much i needed this video...Thanks for getting to the point ..Peace.

Really like those shingles! You used window strips on your cottage in another video. Those strips resemble metal and look flat and thin. What is the exact name or company and are those rounded at all, please?

[@angieaug]

I made the window strips with 1/16" graphic art tape from Hobby Lobby. I painted it with metallic craft paint to make it look like lead. It's completely flat, not rounded. Here's the video that shows how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOtZGCwa8xpebM

[@marvelingabout8240]

@@angieaug Thank you so much! Will look at that product.

[@UAMAK777]

Love it!!!!

[@angieaug]

Thanks!

[@whatchamacallit1young138]

I have a dollhouse that has been overly shingled with the wood shingles. Any suggestions on how to remove glued on shingles?

[@recoveringsoul755]

Might depend on type if glue used, if it's hot glue, a heat gun or blow dryer may loosen it. Not sure the proper method for other types of adhesives

[@janinelew2483]

This is so much easier than dying shingles and gluing them on one at a time.

[@angieaug]

Yes, definitely. Shingles was always one of my least favorite things about building a dollhouse.

[@savannahfordbooks]

I would love to see the video for the sunroom, but I don't see the link. Is there a video for that? Thanks!

[@angieaug]

Hi Kim, the link should be there now.
