Instructions
Step One
Base coat square and rectangle paper mache boxes and lids in LEGO colors of your choice. Set aside to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary. Customize your colors to fit your event or décor.
Step Two
Trace circles on to craft foam with fine tip permanent marker. Use items around your home as a template, like the base of the acrylic craft paint bottles. Cut out and stack craft foam circles three high. Rectangle boxes require 18 circles and square boxes require 12 circles.
Step Three
Attach the three layers of foam circles together with liquid glue, set aside to dry. Square boxes require 4 LEGO knobs/studs and rectangle boxes require 6 LEGO knobs/studs.
Step Four
Once glue is dry, attach LEGO knobs/studs to top of paper mache boxes with liquid glue. Let glue set completely.
