While looking around Pinterest awhile ago I found
this idea to display Lego Figures. Gotta love Pinterest. When we went to Disney over the summer, I bought some single 2x4 bricks with the intention of making one for Ian. Fast forward a few months and I finally made it 2 days before Christmas. It was super easy and didn't take that long.
For this project I used...
11x14 Frame (purchased at AC Moore)
E6000
ruler
30 Lego Bricks (I used 2x4 pieces, you could use smaller 2x4 ones, too)
Poster Paper (dollar store)
I first played around with placement and asked Ian what he thought. I also had him bring down a couple figures he wanted to display on it.
Ian only wanted 3 lines of single bricks and 1 long one along the
bottom. He was excited he could display his bigger special pieces along
with the others.
Once I figured out where I wanted the pieces I glued the legos with E6000 directly to the glass. I glued the legos directly to the glass instead of the poster paper, because I thought it would stand up over time better. I knew Ian will be taking the figures off once in a while and didn't want him ripping the paper. I also glued the long piece together first before I glued it to the glass. Then I cut a piece of poster board down to size (using the mat that was provided as a template) to place behind the glass.
Ian is very happy he can display his special Lego Figures now.
