Hola comrades!
Now, I was invited to a birthday party. And I really wanted to get the birthday girl something, but didn’t really know what and didn’t really have much money to spend either. I’d been eyeing different lego jewelry etc. at boutiques and on people and I figured, that’s a good idea! But I didn’t have the funds to go looking for that kind of stuff anywhere so I figured I’d do it myself.
And so I did.
In hindsight, considering the person I was giving it to a necklace would’ve been a better choise, but I opted for a ring. Partly because I figured it’d be easier to make and partly because when I set out to do it I wasn’t sure if I’d do it with a block or with a person.
Now, the end product would’ve been a bit better had I had the funds to invest in a hot glue gun, but I didn’t so had to find an alternate way of doing it, so I used a base meant for pearl rings. The base has lots of little holes so that you can tie things on it and so I choked the Lego man (GIRL) with fishing line and tied another string around it’s pelvis and behold, I made a Lego dude ring!
Here are some photees. First, the awesome box I made myself with the helpful advice found on the internets.
I was really happy to find this Lego person, although it's supposedly a guy, I changed it's hair to a more girly style I found at home and now the colour at least matches with the girl's I got this for. The camera is also very like her, I thought, and the shoulder bag completes the package.
The photos aren't of the best quality, but I didn't have much time to take them and I'm not the best photographer ever. I'm also way too lazy to try to do any paint.net magic on them. I'll add one more that sort of shows what it looks like on a finger. This is me holding it though and it's on my little finger because I didn't want to stretch the size before giving it. It may also give you an idea of how I tied it to the base. In case that's something you're interested in.
