Do you love Legos? Do you want to be one? Well now you can be one. I made these for halloween last year and it was a BIG hit. People are still taking about it. All you need is a few things from around the house, finding a better way to use things that would be thrown out.
This is a relativity easy project.

Once the paint is dry you can add the bowls. Poke a the scissors or a pen through the box. This is where the bowls will be attached to the box. Make 2 holes for each bowl. Once the string is through the box tie the 2 pieces together and tape them down. Repeat 5 more times.

Suggestion
If you want to, you could add bowls on the back of the brick(facing inward) so 2 bricks could connect together.
