Let’s just admit it: LEGOs are fun to play with no matter how old you are.
This key chain is a fun accessory to make and tote around – and if you happen to find yourself stuck at work or on the bus with nothing to do, just pull this little toy out of your pocket for instant fun! Here's how to make your own:
You will need:
LEGO guy
Drill with small drill bit
E-6000 glue
Key ring
Dog chain
Small screw eye
Not shown: a clamp and a long flat LEGO brick
Using the clamp, secure your LEGO brick to
a flat surface for drilling.
Bend the LEGO guy into a sitting position and press
him firmly onto the brick, which will hold him in place.
Find the center of your LEGO man’s hat or
hair and begin drilling slowly through the hat and top of his head.
After drilling the hole, remove the head
and push the drill bit through (kind of creepy looking, huh?) to remove any
plastic shavings.
If the head is filled
with shavings, the E-6000 glue will not adhere to the screw eye you’ll insert
later.
Be sure to remove his
hands as well.
Begin gluing him back together.
Start with the legs. Add a dab of glue, and then attach to the
torso.
Use a tiny dot of glue on each of
his hands before pushing them back into the armholes (this will prevent your
LEGO guy from losing body parts in your pocket).
Fill the head with glue, then place on the
body.
Add another dab of glue, press on
the hat or hair, and then push the screw eye into the hole.
Thread your chain through the loop and attach
a key ring.
