I had no thin craft copper to use but, I had paint (thank goodness to my addiction to buying those craft bottles of paint for "the" perfect project one day in the future LOL).
I weathered the wood by putting on a base coat color of "Sea Mist" by Deco Art. I let it dry then I "dry Brushed" the second color on which is "Metallic Antique Copper" by Folk Art.
This is the way it looks after it has been painted:
Don't be afraid to try something out of the box! Thinking out of the box can sometimes lead us to finding a new technique to share with others. It is also a wonderful way to keep that project moving along that would have otherwise been stuck because of a lack of materials.
Have fun!

Thank you, Tracy, for sharing this tip! It looks WONDERFUL! :) Marsha
Thank you for sharing! I think it's a gorgeous roof. I'll copycat the idea.
The house is looking great. I have to think outside the box all the time as there is no stores near me other than Wal-mart and even if there were I do not have funds available to buy. So I have to make do with what I have on hand. It is surprising what you can come up with out of nothing.
Glad that you enjoyed this tip!! It was so much fun doing this house. I am so glad I keep pictures of them because I'd never let them leave my side otherwise!
:D
