LEGO not-so-minifig

LEGOs are a really big thing these days, what with the LEGO movie that came out a bit back. Also, LEGOs are such collectibles that you can get practically anything in the form of the little bricks. This one is going to be a bit tougher and frankly might not really even fit into the “last-minute” category than the rest because it needs a lot more work (and slightly more time). It’s no less impressive once it’s done though and the kids will love you!

Here’s what you need:

  • Cardboard
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Paint (colours of your choice)
  • Clothes to wear under your “LEGO parts”

You can also use the tutorial below as a starting point for your LEGO costume. You can paint it into any kind of LEGO person you want so the choices are endless! If you happen to be really handy at putting together costumes, you can also check out this Instructable for an epic level costume!

Just remember that you’re now big and blocky so be careful where you walk, you might not be able to get back up if you fall over!

You can essentially use the same method to become Steve from Minecraft too!
