What you get and how to use

This is a dollhouse miniature roofing material designed to add texture and realism to miniature roofs. Natural cedar shows variation in color, which can enhance realism after installation. Because the product is unfinished, you can opt to leave it natural or customize with paints or stains to suit your scene.

Practical tips for best results:

• Plan roof layout and position shingles before applying adhesive
• Mix shingles from different parts of the bundle to create natural variation
• Apply in offset rows to mimic real roofing patterns
• Test color and finish on a scrap piece before committing

Why choose these shingles for your project

For hobbyists and diorama builders, the cedar shingles provide tangible texture that photographs well and invites close inspection. The 5 square feet coverage gives you a clear idea of project scope, while the unfinished surface invites personal touches and experimentation at the craft table.

Care and handling

Store in a cool, dry place to minimize warping or color change. If you customize with color, test on a spare piece first to preserve the look across your roof.
