DIY Large Lego Bricks

For my son’s lego birthday party, I made two different types of large lego bricks: standing bricks and laying bricks for placing snacks on. Both were a great addition to the party and the best part is, I was able to finish this project in one day.

Standing Bricks

I made these standing bricks using different sized shoe boxes, wrapping paper, foam paper, and hot glue

I removed and discarded the lids of all the shoe boxes and wrapped the boxes in yellow, red, and blue wrapping paper just like I would a present

Then I cut a 3 inch circle out of foam paper similar to this set on Amazon and hot glued it onto the shoe box
Once I glued the right number of circles onto the shoe box, I cut out a 1 inch strip of foam paper and glued it so it would fit snugly around the circle
Then I put a little dab of hot glue on the top and bottom of the strip and pressed it against the circle
I repeated these steps until my legos were done!
I traced the top of each shoe box onto the matching colored wrapping paper, cut it out, and glued it on top of each shoe box as a finishing touch

Laying Bricks

The laying bricks were MUCH faster to make than the standing bricks. I made more of these than the standing ones for that reason. I wrapped various sized shoe boxes in wrapping paper and simply put these little sauce containers on top
I filled the sauce containers with m&m’s and Skittles and placed them on the tables as decor. Guests could grab a cup for a colorful snack
These lego bricks alongside the DIY Large Lego Heads we made were a hit. There you have it, creative and colorful large lego bricks! A great addition to any lego party.
