Description

I couldn't resist making a mini Crafterella to clip onto my LEGO computer frame.

Instructions

  1. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203546 img 5174

    Start with a basic LEGO MiniFigure with similar hair to your final design.

  2. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203630 img 5175

    Remove any unwanted featured with nail polish remover.

  3. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203715 img 5176

    You can remove the whole design if you want to start with a clean slate.

  4. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203730 img 5179

    Plan out your design using a fine liner pen.

  5. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203757 img 7258

    Use masking tape to get a clean edge and paint your new design with nail polish.

  6. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203822 img 7262

    Leave to dry and then apply another coat if you need it.

  7. Small 108977 2f2015 05 19 203852 img 7268

    Add little details using a nail art pen. You can correct any mistakes with a nail correction pen.

    I moulded some clay ears for Crafterella out of Fimo in a similar yellow to LEGO and then baked them in the oven.

    Glue the ears onto the hair.

    Finally I made a little tool belt out of felt and punched holes for her legs.

    All done!
