HobbyCraft are currently doing buy one get one free on A2 sheets. For a room box you need a double thickness and to pin the walls together with cocktail sticks. For stucco effects ready mixed filler from the pound shop is ideal or you can use toilet tissue and pva. Then paint the walls cream and run a tea bag over them. Beams can be made with foam board covered over with tissue and then stained using furniture stain. Paint cereal packets with brown paint and cut them into strips, presto floor boards. If you want to see how the I join walls etc look at my ruin tutorial on my blog page. <br /><br />Hope this helps<br /><br />Debie xxxxxCrafts From The Stashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148579072666287412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460526063111576797.post-26445530768734935832010-07-03T12:17:06.923+01:002010-07-03T12:17:06.923+01:00Hi Ara thanks!
