DIY Lego Minifigure Storage Shelves Tutorial

Do you have little person living with you that is obsessed with Legos? I do!! We love the Lego Minifigures at our house!!! I wanted to find a way to display and store them. I think this works well and it has lots of room so we can buy more Legos!!!!

Supplies:

3/4" wood (pine, MDF, etc.)

Lego building board (available at Lego store or Lego online)

utility knife

paint

Quick Hold E-6000 glue (or similar)

nail gun

Begin by cutting the 3/4" wood into 1 1/4" strips. You can make as long you want. Mine are 23 3/4" long because that is what looked best on the wall.

Next cut the Lego board. Using a utility knife, cut the Lego board every "3 circles".

Once they are cut, bend them a little bit to break them apart.

Glue the Lego strips down. I used one and a half of the Lego strips on each board.

Once everything is dry, measure the wall for placement. Using a nail gun, nail the boards into the wall, making sure to hit studs. Patch the nail holes and touch up the paint where the patches are.

"That's a great idea! Make it easier to find the minifigs too than just having them mixed in with the bricks!"
