Summer Diary: Day 3: Lego Rings

I found this idea on Pinterest. Please visit Chez Deeper Bebe where Holly will show you how to make adorable Lego necklaces as well! (And she shares a great link for purchasing random Lego pieces online too.)
Optional supplies: rubbing alcohol, cotton pads, & a sharp tool.

Apply adhesive to your ring blanks (I purchase my ring blanks from Etsy. Click HERE for a "search", listing ring blanks of all shapes & sizes.)
Optional: before applying the glue to the ring blanks, I like to scratch away or "score" the pad on the ring blank. An adult should do this. I use a sharp crafty knife. After it's scored, wipe surface with a cotton pad dipped in rubbing alcohol. This also cleans away any greasy fingerprints. Not necessary, but I do this when I make rings.

 This was SUCH a super fun project! The hardest part was having to wait for the adhesive to dry so we could slip the rings on our fingers & get to playin'!

 As you can see, we made a few "double" rings. To make these, just center two ring blanks, side-by-side, on the middle of your Lego piece.


We are so giddy to share our new Lego ring creations with you. 

But mostly we just want to show off our manicures.
