• Take some salt dough and form either a square or a rectangle, depending on what size Lego block you want to make
• When you’re happy with your block, use a pencil to make the pencil holes
• Then make 4 or 6 small round balls for the Lego studs, to put on top of your lego blocks
• Use the end of a pencil to press slightly down where you want to place them
• Place the studs
• Take the finished Lego pencil holders and place them on a baking sheet, bake in the oven at 250°F for 2-3 hours
• When they come out of the oven, they need to completely cool before you paint
• Paint in any color you want, dry for a little while and paint another layer
• Let dry, and you’re finished
