I used a combination of wool and wool felt for my door stop.
I decided it needed a little more on the back rather than just another window.
The shingles were a lot of fun to make, and the way they are cut actually make lining them up to look like shingles easy. I'm thinking this project would be fun for a number of holidays...St. Patricks Day, Easter, Fourth of July...neverending possibilities. To make this more of a door stop I added a 3/4" piece of wood to the bottom before stuffing...thanks to my husband for cutting it perfectly!

You could have a collection of holiday houses for sure, what fun that would be! I can see them lined up along a shelf, taken down only for their time of year. And great idea about a block of wood in the base, probably helps hold the shape too. Thank you for sharing!
