Hello! I hope you’re well. Like many parents, you likely have a lot of old Lego bricks around your house which your kids don’t want to use anymore. In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to buy new toys for your kids (especially if you have more than one child) just because they don’t want to play with the old ones. So here are 14 Genius Tips How to Reuse Old Lego Bricks.
9 Creative Uses for the Old Lego Bricks
Here is my list of detailed ideas for using those old Lego bricks.
1 – Make a Keychain with Lego Pieces
If you have a lot of small Lego pieces, you can use them to make a keychain. This is a great way to keep your keys organized and also show off your Lego collection to your friends.
You can glue them together for more durability, but this isn’t absolutely necessary. After you have the small (or large) Lego creation, you can glue or screw a ring into the plastic. Then, you can attach your keys and go!
2 – Make a Lego Soap Dispenser
If you want to get really creative, you can make a soap dispenser out of old Lego pieces. You’re going to need a lot of them, but it’s a great way to get rid of all those small pieces.
You can find instructions online, but the basic idea is to glue the Lego pieces together to create a dispenser shape. Then, you can simply place the lotion bottle into the container. This is big fun for younger kids.
3 – Make a Lego Clock
What? A Logo clock?! Yes! This one is really simple. You just need a clock movement kit and a circular baseplate. Then, you can glue the baseplate to the wall and add Lego pieces around the clock face however you’d like.
This is a great way to add some Lego decor to your home and it’s really easy to do.
4 – Use Lego Bricks as Coasters
If you have some large Lego plates or baseplates, you can use them as coasters. This is a great way to keep your furniture clean and also show off your Lego collection.
You can simply place a coaster under each leg of a chair or table. Or, you can glue the Lego plates to corkboard and use them as coasters that way. Either way, it’s a great way to use old Lego bricks.
5 – Make a Lego Jewelry Holder
If you have lots of Lego pieces, you can use them to make a jewelry holder. This is a great way to keep your jewelry organized and also show off your Lego collection – and your creativity.
You can glue the Lego pieces together to create any shape you want. Then, you can simply place your jewelry on the holder. It might take a little planning to get it just right, but the effort is worth it.
6 – Make Lego Cupcake Stands
If you want to use Lego pieces in the kitchen, you can make a cupcake stand out of them. This is a fun way to use your old Legos and it doesn’t take too much time to do.
You can use Lego plates or baseplates to build a platform of sorts that will display all your cupcakes – or other baked treats. Be sure to glue them together for more durability, but this isn’t absolutely necessary.
7 – Use Lego Bricks as Decorative Wall Hangings
If you want to add some Lego decor to your home, you can use Lego bricks to make decorative wall hangings. This is a fun idea and it also serves a practical purpose. You can put them over a table, mantle or other piece of furniture.
You don’t need many Lego bricks for this project, but you can use plates or baseplates to create an interesting display. Just glue them to a piece of wood, cardboard or other material and you’re good to go.
8 – Make a Lego Piece Flower Pot
You can make a flower pot out of old Lego bricks. This is a really cute idea and it’s also really easy to do. All you need is a flower pot and some Lego pieces. Then, glue the pieces on the sides of the flower pot.
The amount of pieces you use will depend on the flower pot you choose. You might need more if you have a bigger flower pot, but this is just a general guideline. You can glue them onto the pot for more durability, but this isn’t absolutely necessary.
9 – Use Lego Bricks to Make a Planter Box
If you have some large Lego pieces, you can use them to make planter boxes. This is a great way to put your green thumb to use and also show off your Lego collection.
You can simply glue the pieces together and place a planter box inside of them. Then, you can place your flowers inside and enjoy the beauty of it all. This is a great way to use old Lego bricks.
