How to build a LEGO Christmas bulb!

Hello everyone!

Today we have a post of how to build a LEGO Christmas bulb.

First we start of with the sides. Here is a picture of what it looks like completed.

Next we have the pieces that you will need to build the sides.

You will need one 1x1 round, two 1x2s, one 2x2 and three 2x4s.

To start building the sides you will need to put the two 1x2s on two 2x4s.

The next step is to combine the 1x1 round, the 2x2 and the last 2x4 together. It will need to look like the photo down below to work.

After you are done with that you will need to combine the two together to form the side piece.

You will need to make four of these side pieces to make the bulb.

The next part of the bulb is the bottom and the top.

Here are the pieces you will need to make the bottom and top.

You will need one 4x4, one 2x4, one 2x2, two 1x2s and four 1x2 bricks with 4 nobs.

We will build the bottom first. First you will need to connect the four 1x2 bricks with 4 nobs, on to the bottom of the 4x4.

You will then flip it over and put the two 1x2s on the top of the 4x4.

Next you will will put the 2x2s on top of the 2x4.

You will then put the two together. It should look like the picture below when done.

For the top you will need to build another bottom. When you have the second bottom done you will put a tile, round 2x2 with lifting ring thin on top of the 2x2.

This is how it should look when it is done.

Next we put the sides on the the 1x2 nobs that are sticking out.

It should look like what is down below. We have left one side off so you could see inside.

Here is the finished bulb. It works great on your Christmas tree!

We hope you enjoyed this post!

LEGO Christmas Bulb

Hello everyone!

Today we have a post of a Christmas bulb. This is a great ornament to put on your Christmas tree. It is very easy to build if you have the right pieces. A cool thing about this bulb is that you can modify it to your liking. It also does not break like a glass bulb!

We have hung our LEGO bulb on our tree. In the future we will post on how to build it!

Thanks for Reading!

Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow!

Hello everyone!

Today we have a picture of a snowman. He is really hoping for snow! He is a classic snowman with three buttons, a carrot nose and a top hat. We really wanted to put a scarf on him, but we didn't have enough pieces. We really love snow, so does this snowman!

We don't have any snow yet, but can't wait till it snows!

Lego Birthday Cake

Hello everyone!

Today we have made a LEGO cake. This cake is decorated with red and orange sprinkles. We had a few troubles building this because the side plates kept falling off. We finally got them to stay on after a few different attempts. This was a complicated build but, extremely fun.

Painting Easter Eggs!

Hello everyone, today we have a scene of a family painting Easter eggs. (this is not built by us, this was a set that we got for Easter).

As you can see, on the shelf there are different colors of paint. The family is using green paint. In the kitchen there is a stove. Cookies are baking inside the oven. The sink is by the stove, and next to the sink there is a coffee maker.

Whoops! Dropped an egg!

Here is a funny scene of the little boy dropping an egg.

How was you Easter? Did you color Easter eggs? Did anyone drop an egg?

Happy Easter

Hello everyone, today we are wishing you a Happy Easter.

We built you an Easter Basket with little eggs and a big blue egg. The big blue egg was very tough to build. I liked the challenge of creating the blue egg. The Easter basket was not as challenging as the blue egg.
