Introduction: Super Simple Lego Keychain
I love Lego, so I thought I would make a cool Lego keychain, even though I don't have a set of keys to use it on. I guess I'll have to use it on my backpack. This is a super fun and easy project, and does not restrict the use of these Lego pieces in any way. The keychain screw-eye is also easily removable, so it does not restrict the possibilities for building with the piece. This can also be done with any Lego piece
Supplies
Materials:
- Lego man head
- Lego man body
- Picture frame screw-eyes
- Lego brick
- Optional: Lego man hat
Tools:
- Lighter/blowtorch
- Pliers
Step 1: Attach Screw-eye to Lego Piece
Hold the screw-eye with the pliers and heat the thread with a lighter or blowtorch. Holding the Lego piece in your other hand, push the hot thread of the screw-eye into the Lego piece, trying to keep it as straight as possible. DO NOT touch the screw-eye, as it will be very hot. Once the screw-eye has cooled down, it can be unscrewed from the Lego piece.
Step 2: Assemble Lego Man
Assemble your Lego man with whichever outfit you want. Lego man hats have holes already made in them, and are just big enough to fit a screw-eye, making them ideal for this. As you can see in pic 4, the screw eyes are completely removable.
Step 3: Attach Keychain
Attach the keychain of your choice to the screw-eye. Now you're ready to go!
