How to stain your Dollhouse Shingles: Tape Hack vs. Messy Pot | Vermont Farmhouse Jr Part 3

Wondering how to stain dollhouse shingles without destroying your floor? In this Vermont Farmhouse Jr dollhouse roof tutorial, I test two methods for staining miniature wood shingles. Method 1 (the winner for me): Blue painters tape hack. Line shingles on the sticky side of the tape. Use a foam brush to apply stain. Let dry. Flip each shingle by hand. Less mess. Less drying space. Takes about the same time as Method 2, but your sanity stays intact. Method 2: The messy pot method. Toss shingles in a pot with oil based stain. Shake. Fish them out one by one with sticky fingers. Lay on paper towels. Stain everywhere. Half the floor covered. Dog looks like an art project. Verdict? For staining dollhouse shingles, the tape method wins. It's still tedious - you're still flipping tiny pieces of wood by hand - but at least you're not cleaning stain off your floor. If you're looking for dollhouse building tips or the best way to stain miniature shingles for a dollhouse roof, this comparison should save you time, mess, and frustration.
