Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Scrapbook paper (card stock works best)
• Eyelets
• Eyelet setter
• 1/8-inch hole punch
• Paper trimmer
• Adhesive

1. Choose your color combinations, photographs and scrapbook theme.

2. Cut rectangular and square pieces of paper to make Lego shapes.

3. Punch holes in your triangle and square paper shapes in rows to imitate a Lego block.

4. Place your eyelets through the punched holes and use your eyelet setter to set them on your paper shapes. The eyelets act as the raised circles on the Legos.

5. Place your Lego blocks next to each other or on top of one another to make a fun design that looks like Lego toys.

Tips & Warnings

• Heavier paper like card stock works well with metal embellishments such as eyelets.
• Use a ruler or another measuring tool to evenly space your eyelets to form perfect Lego blocks.
• Colored card stock works well for creating your Lego replication.
