How to:

The Lego bodies were simple. Cardboard boxes and paint! I measured, cut, glued and taped the body box. I then spray painted them and drew/painted the outfit with acrylic paint. The heads were a bit harder to make. They consisted of cement form tubes, foam wreath tubes, polystyrene sheets and spray paint. I had my husband cut the cement form tubes. I then glued(low temp glue gun) the sanded down wreath tube on the bottom of the heads to create the curved Lego head look. I did the same with the top of the heads. For extra security and smoother look, I taped the tube and bottom wreath together. The next step was spray painting the heads. After I let them dry over night, I carefully carved out the eye holes with an Xacto knife. Then I traced out the facial expressions on card stock. The mouths and facial expressions are not drawn on. They’re actually stock paper. I figured that would give the heads a cleaner look. For the inside of the heads, I glued on speaker fabric for the eyes. I also secured the inside of the heads with poly foam to keep them from being wobbly and moving around.

The Lego hair and hat…well that was the hardest part! I had a hard time finding suggestions online since most Lego head tutorials I found were topped with the classic Lego stub. I thought about creating them with paper mâché, plaster or foam.

My husband had purchased plenty of polystyrene foam sheets from Home Depot, so I decided to give that a try. It WORKED. I glued and stacked up several sheets together. Then, I carved and sanded them to form the appropriate shape(Emmet’s hat, Wyldstyle’s hair and President Business’ hair.) For Benny the astronaut, I found a perfect sized, half shaped foam ball. They were all coated with smooth finish(no coating for Benny) and painted with acrylic paint. The entire hair part was time consuming, but I was pleased and much surprised with the end results.
