Lego Man Earrings

As an apology for not having posted in so long I made sure to make this a cool one

What you need:

• 2 Lego men (they don't have to match)
• 2 pieces (roughly 0.5 cm long) of something cylindrical that's narrow enough for the Lego men to hold. I used a piece of piping I found among the Lego but you could also use something like a sosatie (kebab) stick 
• Basic studs (see Vocab Tab)
• Superglue

How to Construct Lego Man Earrings From These Objects:

To give you a better idea of how these earrings work the above picture is of my two Lego men sword fighting with their um...part-of-the-stud-that-goes-through-the-actual-ear things.

The only thing more epic than a Lego sword fight is a Lego sword fight that's happening on top of a Nelson Mandela quote. I told you this post was going to be cool!

To make them start by sticking the piece of stick to the middle of the stud with super glue. You may need to hold it in place for  a minute or so until the glue is semi-dry.

One the glue is completely dry, coat the inside of one of the Lego man's hands with superglue. It doesn't matter which had you use as you can always swap the Lego man's arms at a later stage.

Push the stick that's now attached to the stud into the Leg man's hand and leave it to dry.  

The benefit of only attaching them by one hand is that they remain fully adjustable and fully customizable. You can make them strike cool poses, change their clothes to match yours or even decapitate them if you so wish.

This rating is only for once you have all the ingredients. The effort involved in tracking down a pair of Lego men depends on your access to young children  and the severity of your parent's hording problem.
