I use foam board to create the main house structures like the walls. I first measure and draw out the whole plan onto the board, and then cut it out.


After the first walls are cut, i check to make sure my scale is correct. This is better to do sooner than later.


Using matchsticks and balsa wood, I cut and glue window frame details

Work in some detail for the door by pressing into foam board using an embossing tool. Ballpoint pens also work pretty well for this.

I then finally assemble all the walls together.

I measure and cut out two pieces of flat cardboard which makes the rooftop. I will still ad some more material to this part depending on the texture I want.


Before moving on to step 2, I wanted to show the result of a little idea I had while building this. I thought it would be great to include some real light effects by placing an LED inside the house.
