Make Your Own Display Rack!Got bricks? We do!
We have more Mini Figures than I know what to do with – so my son and I built this easy DIY display to show off his favorites.
* Pegboard – we had the nice guy at the giant hardware store cut us a piece to 12″x12″ – (TIP – Why? Because that is the same size as scrapbook paper!)
* Decorative paper – we used Lego Brand scrapbook paper
* Spray glue/adhesive (glue sticks will work to – just be sure to glue both the board and the paper for a good bond)
* Shelving Pegs – these are in the hardware odds and ends aisle.
* Super glue – we started with the traditional super glue but ended up using Gorilla Glue too – we felt the Gorilla Glue worked best.
* Clamps or clothes pins to hold the base plates to the pegs while the glue dries
* Mini Figures to display.
* A Hanger – we used some chain from the jewelry supply area – you can also use parachute cord, wire, ribbon or string.
First step – glue your paper to the peg board and let it dry. Next measure out where you want your shelf pegs to go – we worked on the back so we could see where the holes would be and places a small hole in the paper.
Next, place a shelf peg in the hole you made with the shelf peg facing out. Add a drop of glue and then the black base plate to the shelf peg.
