Painted the thatch!

I still can’t believehow well this old towel method has worked for creating a thached roof! I’m so happy with the results!

It looks really good - and I want to try this (I have a partially shingled abandoned roof on my own beloved Glencroft)!!

Nice work!

I wish the pictures did it justice. It looks so smooth in photos but it has a lot of texture and really does look like thatch in person. I may add some other colors over time but I’ll leave it be for now. 

It was sooooo easy to do. I probably should have used two towels but I pulled through by piecing together bits. I tried to do the most piecing in the back. I first saw a tutorial for it on youtube where you laid the towel down and then coated it with paint. Then I got to searching I found another that had a better method where you coated it with glue first to stiffen it and then painted. I’ll see if I can find it.
