Thanks so much, Laurie, you and your dad have helped me more than once with your creative solutions and variations on what the kit brought. I have a Beacon Hill shell that someone in my building who gave up on it, I guess, but it is lacking all the doors, windows, and part of the tower roof. It's going to be a challenge, but I am looking forward to it because I am looking at it as a blank canvas where I can make it into a contemporary house. :)
I've used self adhesive nail tape striping for details before. The smallest width I've found it in was 1mm. You can get it in a huge variety of colours including metallic on eBay. I'm looking forward to using it on my windows now too. Thank you for the idea!💡 I really want to make a faux stained glass window and this will be perfect.
How or what could you use to make it look like stained glass? I would love to have a stained glassed window in my dollhouse. Thanks for the Video. I can't wait to do a few of them. Oh and the covers you could pick them up from dollar tree as well. I think they have the nail tape there too. :)
Rebecca Clayson That would be super easy but I don't have a printer that will print on glossy plastic plus I don't think I could get white ink from the 5 colors in my printer. What printer and ink do you use. I've tried a paint pen in the past but the look doesn't turn out as clean and crisp as I want it to be.
Laurie Heisler I used a regular HP officejet printer and have had no issues printing on glossy plastic. I use overhead projector sheets maybe that is the difference?while I don't have a printer capable of printing white (only printers I know of that can do that are professional grade) I have been able to print pretty much every other color of the rainbow.

I never thought to use nail tape. That's such a great idea, thanks for the tip. I plan on trying stained glass to one day :)
Really impressive!
Great video!!

This was so helpful ....thank you!
I recommend Scripto Markers. It is a lot cheaper and less time consuming.
Thank you. I tried markers but my hands are not steady enough to make those small lines :(
thanks very much this was very helpful
Nail striping tape could also work. You can get a whole package of rolls with different colors for about $5.50
Oh yes I use that as well
Where I buy the mini tape? Thank you
You can but 1/32 or 1/16 car pinstripe tape and or nail art tape from Amazon.
Is there a reason you choose to use tape for the design as opposed to printing it onto the plastic?
