The cheap wood shingles I already had happened to be warped but that worked for my vision.
Cheap wood shingles cover individually with wood filler then painted. |
Apply the wood filler on the wood shingle with a putty knife. Not too perfectly because slate has texture. Study a photo of slate roofing.
If you are using cardboard (cereal or pizzs box), coat a large sheet of it with wood filler. Watch what you are buying, I accidentally bought a more liquid version. You want it to be thick. I prefer Elmer’s wood filler brand.
Once dry, sand your wood shingles so they are smooth, but veins and ridges are welcome. If you made a cardboard sheet then sand and draw lines with a pencil and cut with a utility knife.
If you like, you can add a green wash for moss and some ground up reindeer moss once the shingles are adhered.
Muy bonito el tejado!
