I don’t know if it’s a boy thing or just my kids, but they are not that into arts & crafts. But my boys do love their Lego.
So why not display it. Lego is just as creative as painting or drawing.
I found this $4 picture frame during our (Completely Unofficial) Macklemore Thrift Shop Challenge. And thought it would be the perfect display for their Lego creations.
This would also be a great use for a picture frame with broken glass. So don’t throw those old frames out.
I simply removed the glass, and added some scrapbook paper to it. Then glued 4 flat square Lego pieces into each of the four pictures holes. Took about 3 minutes to make.
Now the boys can swap out their Lego displays. The art possibilities are endless.
The boys are quite proud to have their Lego art on display. It may not be a pretty water-colour painting but it’s still their own art.

Thanks so much for such a nice comment! It’s such an easy project, and I’m sure everyone has an old picture frame lying around their house somewhere.
What a fabulous idea! Such an inspiring way to display those smaller creations that seem to get lost on the shelf. Definitely going to try this!
I love this idea to celebrate the kids’ Lego builds!
I tried to leave a comment a couple times and it didn’t seem to go through….so hopefully I just didn’t leave the same thing three times :) lol
Anyways, wanted to say that I love the looks and creativity of this project! I just featured it in my DIY round-up from last week’s Monday Funday party.

Thanks so much Jenn! I’m so happy to hear that you’ll be doing it. It was such an easy project.
I’ve thought of doing something to display Lego art, but hadn’t really come up with a good idea yet. I like this, the only question is how to efficiently attach the Lego art when my son usually make vehicles with wheels.
Suanna recently posted..In School This Week…
My son added a car on to ours and I just added some square blocks (like 2 or 3 on top of each other, depending on the size of the wheels) to the undercarriage of the car. It raises it up enough so that the wheels don’t hit the flat Lego block, and the square blocks allow you to attach the car to the flat lego piece. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you. Yes, that makes sense. I just wasn’t sure if it would actually work, glad to know you’ve tried it and it works.

So cute! I actually have been wanting to do a functional lego wall art installation on my boy’s wall for awhile now. But I might have to do this if I can’t do the lego wall. Great idea!

This is brilliant! My son would love this to display his lego creations. Right now, there’s an entire mini figure display on the hearth.
I jealously read about your thrifting exploits. Sounds like you had a blast. And I need to go to Durham to check out the Rescue Mission thrift store.

Yes it’s totally worth it. Next time you’re in the Raleigh area you have to go!
I LOVE it! It turned out great – totally ingenious idea and you are right…. it’s just the sort of thing that little boys will eat right up.
Thanks Holly, I still think $4 was a bit steep for it but better than the original $10 price tag.
