Recycling Milk Cartons into Lego Blocks
Posted by Molly on November 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment
How about recycling milk cartons into something useful like Lego blocks? If you have an upcoming party this would be the perfect centerpiece for a Lego party!
This is what you do:
Get a few milk cartons, rinse and clean them out. Cut the top open carefully and cut off the spout. Fold the carton back into a rectangular box. Close with tape or hot glue.
Paint over the box with bright acrylic paints from the craft store. Paint on several layers until the printing or original packaging is no longer visible. Make sure you let the box dry in between paint layers.
Get a few of the milk carton caps and position them on the long side of the milk carton to look like Lego.
Glue in place with more hot glue.
Paint over the milk caps with the same color paint as the body. Paint them over several times as well.
When you are done you should have blocks that resemble huge Lego blocks!
