Handmade {{Lego}} Birthday Banner!
HELLO THERE- my oldest turnes “9” on Tuesday Oct. 12th. HE IS A LEGO KING, let me tell you. He makes some of the coolest lego machines that dispense candy and all. Safes and all kinds of fun stuff. He loves to watch kids build and make fun lego stuff on YouTube. He gets alot of inspiration there. SO the bubs made sure to tell me months ago that he wants a LEGO Birthday. So mom trying to be frugal has made him a one of a kind handmade lego banner. I LOVES IT!
To make my handmade Lego Banner I used the Lyrical Letters Cartridge for my cricut for the blue shape. For the green circles and letters I used the Platinum School Book Cartridge.
For the squares rectangles and circles- I used again, the Platinum School book cartridge. With patience all this can be done free hand or from tracing certain shapes from things in your home or kitchen cubbys. Or if you have punches or a silhouette machine.
I used the raised glue dots for a 3-d look.
here they are done!
Labeled banner and legos all made.
then the layout pattern….
then to make my son smile more, I wrapped two of his packages to look like legos, just something extra and fun.
I WILL SHOW more of the party ideas when I get them done. Thanks so much for stopping by. I am linking up with Blackberry Vine for Jami’s Pretty Packages Party HERE.
Such a cute idea! I really like the wrapping idea!
Super cute banner! I love the presents looking like legos too. You could actually use some of those as decor too. 🙂

Love the banner! My son just had a birthday and it’s always hard to come up with ideas for him. I’ll have to remember this for next year!
So cute! Does he get the LEGO magazine? If he doesn’t you should check it out. You should be able to sign up for it on the LEGO website. My boys love it and…. it’s all FREE!!! You can’t beat that.
love the banner!! What size did you cut the letters at??
