I bought the boxes for the project over a year ago when I first saw the project on the Dollar Store Mom blog.

It was not until after I bought them though that I realized finding the lego plate would be difficult.

I did not want to use any of my boys lego plates because they are all part of a set.

Buy the lego plate first!

Thankfully my husband gave himself a 3-D printer as a christmas gift!

Here are the directions:

Step 1 -Print a Lego Plate on your 3-D printer.

What? Not everyone has one?

Crazy.

I guess you unlucky people will have to go buy one then…

I found a really good chart on Design Sponge for adhering plastic to wood, here.

I used a glue gun which is not their top choice but so far it is working well.

Now we need to go on a long trip!!!
