Two Dudes and a Mama: DIY Lego MiniFigures Display

My boys love Legos. I love Legos. I was lucky enough to have my parents save all my Legos for my boys. Our playroom is overflowing with these things. I am not sure how to keep them off the floor but I am learning to add character with them.

We decided today to make a lego mini figure or guy display. First up we need a nice frame or old picture to start. At goodwill we found this beauty:

Every other Saturday in my area everything is 50% off so we got this guy for a little over $12. We took it home and the first thing I did was paint it:

I painted two coats of the black. Next week counted out 20 2x4 bricks. You could do the 2x2 bricks but my guys like to have a lot of accessories so it would be to crowded for us.

I then took them to the garage to spray paint gold (or butter as my boys say is gold):

Make sure you flip the Legos over after they dry and do the other side as well

When all the pieces were done drying I arranged the gold bricks on the picture and started gluing! I used my glue gun but I'm sure any strong glue would work.
