LEGO Building Nook || No-Cost Lego Head Storage

in Easy DIY, HOME on 09/08/20

It’s Wednesday which means it’s time to share an update on the $100 Room Challenge. If you are just tuning in, last week I kicked off a month long room makeover where I am turning a current dead space in between the boys rooms into an official Lego Building Nook.  I always tell myself things have to look worse before they can get better and I sure hope that is the truth in this case! With the busy holiday weekend not a whole lot of progress has been made on this area. However, I have been collecting things from around the house that might be able to work in this area so there are piles of stuff all over the place. Tackling a room is a process, right?!?!

Also- the boys are really using this space. Which I guess is a good thing!? After all- that is the whole point of improving this area for them. However- since there is not really any organization yet- it is currently a Lego explosion. I am telling you – if that isn’t motivation to get moving on this space I don’t know what is! It is GO time this week because the current state is giving me serious anxiety.

Although I don’t have much progress to report on, I did want to share a project that I did last week- a No-Cost DIY Lego Storage Head. Projects like this is why I just LOVE the $100 Room Challenge.  It’s always fun to think outside the box and repurpose things! Plus a good ol’ fashioned craft project is always good for the soul. The inspiration came from this Lego Storage Head that you can buy for around $20.  Obviously,  spending $20 bucks on one item isn’t happening as it would eat up a big chunk of my $100 budget… so this no-cost version will just have to do!

DIY Lego Storage Head

Read on to see how I made this DIY Lego Storage Head:

Materials Needed:

  • Plastic Tub from your pantry (think pretzels, protein powder, cheese balls, animal crackers, etc)
  • Yellow spray paint
  • Black Electrical Tape (or any black vinyl)
  • White Mailing Labels (or any white sticker/tape)

Step 1: Grab a plastic container from your pantry and spray paint it yellow. This one had protein powder in it and I just put what was left in a mason jar. After I rummaged through my pantry to find this container, I rummaged through the garage and found a can of yellow spray paint in my stash. It isn’t the perfect “Lego yellow”, but in the spirit of using what I have, it was perfect! 

Step 2: Create your Lego face stencil. I literally just laid a piece of paper on my computer screen of the inspiration Lego Head Storage to get my stencil. 

STEP 3: OK, now for the fun part… make your Lego face! To make my Lego face I used electrical tape. I just cut out the stencil from the paper and traced it onto the tape and then cut it out. 

STEP 4: OK, now you need to add the white part of the eye. I had these letter stickers in my craft stash so I just used them. You could steal some stickers from your kids. You could also use a white mailing label. Think long and hard because you definitely have something around the house you could use for this! 

That’s all! Now take a look at the comparison between the $20 Inspiration Lego Storage Head and my No Cost Lego Storage Head.

Is it perfect? Nope. But I think my little Lego Man is cute!

In fact, I think he needs a few more buddies…. off to the pantry! 🙂

 

Alright, I better get busy on this room! Now be sure to check out what everyone else is up to in their spaces below.

    When I first saw the title, I thought that must be some kind of a typo! When I saw the post, I thought it was the most clever thing ever. My lego man is well beyond childhood, but he has enough child in him that he still enjoys the Lego Advent calendar! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration!

    Such a cute DIY! We have one of the plastic head buckets from the Lego store and they are so overpriced.
