lego board

my nephew loves legos...

(i made the lego felt mat for him.)

anyways i had his name for christmas...

and we were supposed to do homemade gifts...

but the older you get--the harder it gets.

so this is about as homemade as it gets...

the things you need (plus paint and glue..and vinyl...and some other tupperware containers i added at the last minute.

minus the handles.

okay...let's just say this supply list is lacking.....

this board is actually from the bottom of my daughter's crib...just cut off a piece to size.

paint...this was done...oh the night before we exchanged gifts. i'm awesome like that.

i bought two lego boards (long story....but one was supposed to be green and one was blue..)

i glued them to the board...make sure the legos are facing the proper way...

then I added velcro...industrial......

this white tupperware is found at walmart...they had all sizes....

then i just slap them on...

okay...orginal plans were two handles--one on each side..

but it turns out i'm a sucky planner. and i opened them up oh about 10 oclock at night. and the screws were wayyyy to long for the board.

and so it got scratched and instead i cut out some vinyl

my computer won't even open my silhouette studio--so i cut these out by hand. so in case you were wondering...you don't HAVE to have a cutter...just makes it faster!

i also included a sculpey lego head zipper pull--and a lego tie tack.

i bought these earring  backs for the tie tack (so they don't poke the poor boy!) and just an earring post glued onto a lego.
