These tow sheets could be used to make the back-wall and the front door of the house. And then you need to draw a combination of rectangle and triangle. The height of the rectangle should as high as the last one you cut out. Next step, you need to carve two rectangle, the length should as long as the first rectangle you cut out and the width should be a little long than the triangle. These two triangles are use to make the roof of the house. Finally, you could cut or draw a door at the first sheet you cut out and then assemble the different sheets together.
And when it comes to make the balsa house with blocks, the process is a little more complicated. If you want to make the house look more vivid, you could even cut the blocks into smaller pieces. The smaller blocks would look more like the bricks while being joined together. And the blocks should be staggered. The wall is made from the glued blocks and so it would be much stronger. When it comes to the roof, you could use the same way which is mentioned in the first method.
