For a basic gingerbread house with four walls: Place your gingerbread pieces on your base so that the four corners are touching.  Apply a bead of "frosting glue" along the base, and along the sides of each piece.  Stand-up each wall, connecting pieces to each other at sides.  If needed, prop walls (soup cans work well).

Apply a bead of "frosting glue" to top side of each piece (where roof piece will touch).  Place roof pieces on top of wall pieces.  Hold for a few seconds until the frosting has set.
