The Unofficial LEGO® Jewelry Book - Prudence Rogers
Get some bricks…
OK, so first things first, you’re going to need to get hold of some LEGO® components. Jewellery projects are a little different to the house or the jet plane you built as a child, as you need more small bricks than usually found in a store-bought box of LEGO® toys. If you’re lucky, you can race off to your old toy box and dust off your treasured LEGO® stash from your school days, you may have a good load of pretty standard ‘everyday’ bricks in an array of rainbow colours. This is a good starting point for getting together what you need for a jewellery project. You will find for the projects in this book that the majority of bricks are pretty common, but there may also be a couple of slightly more unusual pieces here and there, this will help to keep the scale small and avoid creating dinner plate-sized earrings. This shouldn’t pose too much of a problem though, as there are many ways to get your hands on individual bricks, or a whole stash if you aren’t lucky enough to have a childhood collection.
Track down your local LEGO® shop where you can buy individual bricks in a ‘pick and mix’ style, filling a cup with whatever pieces you need. If you haven’t got a store near you, the LEGO® website has a section that works in a similar way called ‘Pick a Brick’, you will find the vast majority of the bricks used in this book on that store.
Another option to start up a good collection of general bricks would be to look at auction sites like eBay (see Suppliers). Here you will find individual bricks from sellers, but even better, whole boxes of pre-loved, mixed LEGO® bricks looking for a new home. This is a quick, cheap way to get together a lot of bricks, but it will be pot-luck which shapes, sizes and colours you
