Making a LEGO Minifigure Frame | Easy & Cheap DIY Display

I saw a few Minifgure Frames on Pinterest but could never figure out how they were made, so with a bit of trial and error I came up with a method on how to make them for pretty cheap and it's super simple. This is my favourite way to display all my minifigures as I can show them off and they don't get dusty.
All you need is:
A Shadow Box Frame
Super Glue
Bricks (Bricks or Inverted Slopes depending on your preference)
Scissors
Card
A Ruler (Not Shown)
Time

I've been collecting Lego Harry Potter since 2007 and love displaying the sets and minifigures, which is why I want to share my passion, thoughts and opinions with you!

Love the creativity! And the lack of dust lmao

This is really creative and alright younglings and flip it and reverse it like Missy Elliot lol 😂 😂 😂

[@sportspicks94]

I display the figures with the sets, like dioramas or Star Wars/Harry Potter scenes

[@theupsidedownbrick9618]

when you’re trying to figure out the placement of the lego pieces you could build a grid out of lego with open spots in it where you want the bricks you are gonna glue on to be, that way they are all at a perfect spacing from each other, great video tho it was funny

[@CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars]

Star Wars figs are pretty goated not gonna lie

[@CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars]

Thanks dude

[@ron7116]

The most entertaining DIY lego project on KZbin.

[@JC-cn7uy]

That looks great but wouldn't it be easier to just build a frame out of spare bricks so they are all fixed in the same position and then put superglue on the back of all the slopes and then fix the entire assembly to the card so that you don't have to align all the slopes on your own?

[@bluehero-96]

A fine addition to your collection.

[@quinten2529]

The frame looks so cool! Maybe I’m gonna make one myself, thanks for this video 👍

Great idea, love your humour!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆

[@biscottidoggie]

You are entertaining and easy to follow. Thank you for this easy display. I have minifigs in wood curio wall shelves, the kind that have all the little cubbies. But they’re heavy and not great for putting in the wall if you’re renting-and the mini gigs get dusty. Shadow boxes are an excellent idea. One way to make the measuring easier. Once you’ve sorted out how far apart you want your rows to be, cut and extra strip of card stock to that size and use it to measure each new row. You can mark how far apart you’re going to put each block too. Or, make yourself a template the way you made the card , with blocks put on temporarily. Trace each block, take the blocks off, then cut out each block shape. Now use that as a template for each new frame you make

[@legofilmsstudio2347]

Simple and cheap. Good idea. Thanks for sharing that. Pretty funny commentary too. 😂

[@KerioFive]

I have every newer Harry Potter figure in plastic bags waiting to be set up like this 😅 great idea!

[@jamesbowdenclassics]

To line each inverted slope properly I would attach one or two really long pieces across a whole row of them so they are the right distance apart and then glue them down. After the glue has dried you’d then remove the long pieces

[@FabBlondiesBricks]

Good idea! Looks nice! If you could find 12x12 frame you could pattern cardstock to match the theme! Like Star Wars and Harry Potter!

[@LoveYouTooMan]

Great video! I have a few of the LEGO minifigure cases, I think they look good enough for what they are

[@lsbc9666]

Cool

[@willpyle]

i display them with their sets and for the ones that didnt come with a set i use the lego tape so i can just cut it to the size i need and then place it on the wall and display my figures but it works better for noemal figs with normal legs and mid legs anything else requires a brick with a stud on the side and if theres a back accesory it needs to come out a little bit more

[@acehole4788]

You are seriously funny! 🤣🤣

[@crusmonster1397]

Not the Skinny Legend reference 😂😂 I loved this tutorial. As for my current displaying methods, I was lucky and found what I have recently discovered to be a “Select Merchandise Company”-brand wooden display case with a glass window on the door. It’s 3 rows of 4 little cubbies that are 2 inches by 2.5 inches, which is perfect for minifigures on the minifigure stands. I don’t even have to glue the stands down so I can move them at any time. I currently have my Disney Villains minifigures in there: Captain Hook, Ursula, Jafar, & Hades, as well as Syndrome & Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. I have a Maleficent but she has gone missing so if I can’t find her soon I’ll probably get her on BrickLink. I have the empty spots labeled with the minifigures coming out in May: Evil Queen, Queen of Hearts, Cruella de Vil, Dr. Facilier, & Ernesto de la Cruz. I don’t care to have Prince John but if I do get him I’ll probably take Syndrome out.

[@crackedcraig8663]

This was funny

[@jeffflank2193]

Thanks Holly. You did it again. You made laugh so much I have to pause rewind replay cause I’m missing something. 16 to 18 is perfect for blind bag minifig series to fit or whomever. Well Done.🤠Mega Vader?

Nice. Where do you get those figurines? Some LEGO pack?

[@kidlego3668]

cool

[@squaresided]

I have bookshelfs and such and if they aren't with the built set, I have them lined up like an army but each line is shifted on the gap so they aren't staring directly into the figure's back that's in front of them, lol. I should do a bleachers build one of these days since I have plenty of spare LEGO now.

[@jedipokewho]

I normally display my minifigures near Lego sets on a small table and shelves :)

[@grievousthedestroyer815]

I put my minifigures on a clear drawer also how do you take out the mini figures in the frame or it just stays in the frame?

[@joiheaggans1807]

😂 Your commentary is too funny

[@scottcochrane8440]

I put all my blind bag CMF figs in frames like this but rather than putting the figs on bricks, I buy 3rd party base plates and use them as a backplate for the frame. This way the stands for the figs fit at right angles in the groove between the studs on the backplate without having to glue anything in place. This way you can also use the studs on the backplate as reference for spacing the figures out

[@francoisregis2155]

Oh good idea I see lots of cheap base plate Thank I will use your idea

[@johnsinth8261]

u dont trust me with a pen :( .. . im gonna whip out my bricks now

[@Fenimore.Cassidy]

Hahahahahahahha. Love your humour. Subbed

[@PinderProductions]

I made a couple DIY frames for my cmfs a few years ago that each old a 48x48 baseplate as the backdrop. On that are 2x4s with studs on the sides with the minfig plates attached (it's seeming hard to describe but there are a couple videos on my channel about them). Only trouble is there is no glass so they are open to dust 😢

[@DeadBrix]

I personally use bootleg lego display cases and authentic cases because where I live I don't have an ikea close to me

[@JBBrickFanatic]

Actually cool lol

[@saxon1963]

Are you gonna pick up the new AT AT from the lego star wars summer wave

[@hazzastargate2762]

the sas is real, also helpful video. gonna try it out for myself

[@ingridwinn9082]

I will try this but instead of cardboard I will try a baseplate. Hope it will work

[@axelmarintellez9958]

The meme knowledge is strong with this one

[@sofieleiszner2255]

[@Dave29]

super weird but, i dont display minifigs alone, i either display them with their sets, but usually i actually play with them, you know, how legos are meant to be enjoyed

[@brick8181]

There are more ways to enjoy them then playing with them. Her just like me like to display our collections.

We have a Lego Minifigure Collector Frame Promo Set 5005359 for all our HP S1 Minifigures. Might also try to stick a big board into a frame to help with the spacing

[@paqshet4648]

Ikea now have the SANNAHED frames instead, practically the same product

[@irrelevanced]

What do you do for big figs?

[@arranstudios]

I’ve been thinking about going this for months but no clue how to go doing it

[@JustinWatson23]

The tutorial was very entertaining, especially the references to a ruler..... if only lego also made long straight pieces that connected to those other pieces to keep them in a line that could then be removed later..... :-)

[@dylanharrison5711]

I never thought makeup could be so useful

[@draken0499]

Just throwing this out there in case someone hasn't said it before buuuut, Brickvault makes custom frames for their website. All wood, your pick of color they have and each row has studs for each minifig. Just in case if you wanted to buy something already built.

[@Slavador2393]

Hi Holly, have you heard of mayka brick tape? It is great product for making display cases and you don't have to lose your Lego bricks

Go straight to the Guillotine!? Kinda severe punishment for not being handy with scissors,isn’t it?

[@joelslegojourney6239]

I have a 64 inch by 29 inch sheet of ply wood that is painted white with wooden shelves going horizontally with mayka block tape on top for the figure to stand on it can hold over 400 Minifigures!

[@cosmicgrail156]

Question: Is the frame too thin for big-figs?

[@SuperiorSquid]

It looks really professional. Maybe you can put pictures on the background

[@mikaxms]

Oh no, she used glue. You could build the frame out LEGO pieces, while still using the sheet of glass from the frame. That way you don't have to glue bricks and worry about alignment.

[@asherhansow3833]

Could u do a room tour plz?😂
