Turning Cardboard into Clapboard Siding

Well, it's been a while since I posted, but I have been working on the house. Will update in the next few days. I have been working on using cardboard (soda and cereal boxes) for clapboard siding. I have seen so many other miniaturists use it and it turns out great! My first experiment was a FAIL!!! 




Second time turned out great. It will take a little longer to do, but I love the look. The trick seems to be to make sure both sides have equal amounts of something on them. i.e.glue on one side and paint on the other. I love how it turned out. Now to save lots of boxes. :)
