Step-by-step guide to Build Hearts With LEGO!
How To Make: Super Simple LEGO Heart
Step 1
Gather your assorted LEGO bricks and plates and bring them to your building spot.
Step 2
Choose a flat baseplate or clear area on a table to be your heart workspace.
Step 3
Sort the bricks by color into small piles so you can find colors quickly.
Step 4
Decide whether you want a flat 2D heart or a standing 3D heart to build.
Step 5
Place a vertical row of plates or a line of bricks to mark the center line of your heart.
Step 6
Build one side of the heart by placing bricks next to the center line from the top toward the bottom.
Step 7
Mirror the same brick pattern on the other side to make the heart symmetrical.
Step 8
Add a border or a pattern using contrasting color tiles or plates to make your design pop.
Step 9
If you want a 3D heart stack bricks up along the heart edge to raise the sides a few layers.
Step 10
Fill the inside of the raised edge with plates or bricks to create the heart's volume.
Step 11
Smooth and shape the top with slope and curved bricks and add small decorative studs if you like.
Step 12
Share your finished LEGO heart on DIY.org
Final steps
You're almost there! Complete all the steps, bring your creation to life, post it, and conquer the challenge!
Help!?
I don't have a flat baseplate or slope bricks—what can I use instead?
If you don't have a flat baseplate use a sturdy piece of cardboard or a tray as your heart workspace, and replace slope or curved bricks by stacking plates or small wedge pieces to shape the top.
My heart keeps coming out lopsided—what step am I likely messing up and how do I fix it?
If your heart is lopsided, recheck the vertical center line you placed in Step 5 and rebuild one side to exactly mirror the other, then add plates or extra bricks along the edges to stabilize any wobbly 3D layers.
How can I adapt this activity for different ages?
For toddlers use large plates and make a simple flat 2D heart with color-sorted bricks, for elementary kids try a 3D heart with stacked layers and filling the inside with plates, and for older kids add slope and curved bricks, intricate patterns, or small decorative studs for detail.
What are some ways to extend or personalize my LEGO heart project?
Enhance your design by adding a contrasting color border with tiles, creating a mosaic pattern inside the heart from your sorted piles, smoothing the top with slope bricks, attaching small decorative studs, and then share the finished heart on DIY.org.
