Warner Bros sponsored this DIY LEGO Head Marker Holder tutorial post.

Guys, everything is awesome. Not because Taylor Swift spells, “You can’t spell awesome without me” on her new song ME! which dropped last month, but because The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part came out on DVD on Tuesday.

To celebrate its release, I put together a tutorial for this super cute DIY LEGO Head Marker Holder. I’m in love with how cute it turned out, just like your kids will be in love with the movie.

DIY LEGO Head Marker Holder

DIY LEGO Head Marker Holder Supplies:

• Empty glass dry active yeast container
• Styrofoam plate
• Yellow spray paint
• Black acrylic paint
• Paint brush
• Pencil

How To Make A DIY LEGO Head Marker Holder:

Discard the top of the dry active yeast container (or save it for another craft).

Clean the dry active yeast container and pull off the label. Let it dry completely to insure there aren’t any water droplets on it.

Put dry active yeast container on Styrofoam plate with the top down. From about 10 inches away, spray a light coat of yellow spray paint.

I can’t stress this enough: a light coat. If you try to spray paint heavy coats on smooth plastic or glass to save time, you’ll end up with incredibly large and annoying drips causing a craft-ergency. Yes, I made up that word. Yes, it has happened to me.

Leave the glass to dry for 10 minutes. Spray it again. Leave it to dry for ten minutes. Repeat. So three coats, resting 10 minutes after each coat.

Flip the container so the bottom side is down. Spray it, leave it, spray it, leave it again. This time, it’s two coats.

Flip the container back so the top is down, spray one more coat, and leave it to dry about an hour.

When the spray paint is completely dry, draw a face on with a pencil. I did the basic LEGO face, but you could do one of the characters from the movie if you’d prefer.

Paint the face black. Let it dry and then use it to store your pencils or paint brushes.

Fill it with markers, crayons, pencils, whatever you’d like.

Your LEGO face should hold up fine. We’ve had ours for two years and the face looks just as good as it did on day one. But, in case you’re a little worried about the face potentially chipping, you can spray the entire craft with triple thick clear glaze after the face has dried. That will seal your project.

How to draw a LEGO head:

For this LEGO Head Marker Holder, I just drew a typical LEGO head, which is two circle eyes and a basic smile.

If you head over to this Pinterest pin, you can see a ton of LEGO head options. Choose your favorite and paint your face according to that example.

There are male and female examples in that pin, so you do have a lot of options there. And, if you want, you can just draw your own LEGO head however you want. Be creative. This is your crafts.

Purchase LEGO head storage containers:

This craft costs, basically, nothing since you’re upcycling trash and using paint (which you probably already have at home).

If you don’t feel like making those, you can purchase LEGO head storage containers and use those as marker holders below.

But, honestly, I think once you see those prices, you’ll decide to make your own.

• LEGO Multi-Use Stackable Storage Head Small, Boy
• LEGO Small Storage Head Container, Girl

Ways To Use (Or Reuse) A Glass Jar

This LEGO Head Marker Holder is a great way to upcycle a glass dry yeast jar. You know, the ones you start buying because you make way too many loaves of bread to justify buying those little packages of three.

Just us? Nah. It was all of us in 2020.

But maybe you have more than just those jars lying around. Glass yogurt jars and mason jars can all be upcycled into really fun craft ideas. Our favorites are below.

• Easter Tea Light Candle Holders (made from an upcycled glass yogurt jar)
• Mason Jar Ghost
• DIY No. 2 Pencil Mason Jar Pencil Holder
• Mason Jar Luminary Leaf Centerpieces

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Review

Now, for the movie …

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part comes five years after The LEGO Movie. And spoiler alert (or not, I mean, you’ve had five years to see the first one … ) it’s revealed at the end that the entire first movie happens in the mind of Finn (Jadon Sand) — who is an actual live human boy. That’s pretty brilliant. He’s playing with the toys and creates an entire world … which is exactly how kids play with toys.

His sister Bianca adds her DUPLO blocks, which basically ruin everything because, well, isn’t that what happens when you’re playing and your little sister wants to play too.

So now, the DUPLO toys have come from outer space, have turned Bricksburg into Apocalypseburg, and everything is not awesome.

Except to Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) who is seriously the most happy, optimistic ray of sunshine. Maybe it’s the 25 sugars he puts in his coffee. But the rest of the returning characters, including Lucy (voiced by Elizabeth Banks) and Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) see the situation as a little more dire.

I mean, Lucy ends up getting kidnapped so she might have kind of sensed what her future held anyway.

This time around, the chaos in the LEGO world is caused by Finn because, well, siblings. Their mom decides they can’t play together anymore because they’re fighting and because she keeps stepping on LEGO blocks. So, Finn and Bianca have to get along in order to play — and reverse Armageddon.

That’s exactly the lesson you want for your kids to learn. That and get mom a pair of those limited edition LEGO slippers if they ever get remade.
