| StarWars themed upcycle project |
It would appear the upcycling bug has been passed on to my partner! The following post is how he turned a £5 charity shop picture frame into an awesome Lego mini-figure display frame.

| £5 Charity shop find |
What amazed me the most about this is the fact this was whipped up in one weekend - and yet I still have the same shoes I'm covering for what feels like forever.
The first step was to dismantle the picture frame and spray the wood frame black - a 2-minute job for some who is a paint sprayer by trade.......
 |
| Completed in seconds! Me, I'd still be messing around with the tape! |
Left overnight to dry we decided on red background wallpaper for the images to be placed in front of, and I knew exactly which paper would look superb - and I wasn't wrong!
 |
| Sticking the paper to the back of the frame |
This fabulous paper is from the Gorjuss range and even if you didn't go with a theme I think it looks rather lovely with just the plain white border.

| Add the border back on the Gorjuss paper |

| Looking good |
Now, there is no shortage of mini-figures in the house and watch this space for how 'we' created a Lego stand for the Simpsons and Superheroes, but for this post - we went Star Wars, and thanks to one of my
zBox geek boxes - we had the perfect comic to use:
 |
| Selecting the new border |
 |
| Bring out the Mod Podge |
 |
| New Star Wars Comic border completed |
Left to dry overnight we then raided the 'random' Lego box and found some single line Lego to glue to the bottom of the individual framing areas.
 |
| No idea of technical name - I just call them long skinny ones |
 |
| Glueing to the base of each frame to secure the mini figure |
And there we have it. All that is left is to decide who makes the cut and display it on the wall.
Awesome!
