Fitting them together like a puzzle, glue the shell pieces to the exterior walls of the house.

Add the Roof

Deconstruct the pinecone. Use each piece as a shingle. Glue each piece into place. Start at the bottom of the roof and work your way across.

Stagger the Shingles

A staggered look is best. Shingle a few layers and allow them to dry completely before adding more layers. Work on both sides of the roof at the same time.
