Bricking news: LEGO BYGGLEK the best gift yet

13 Instagram posts show why the LEGO BYGGLEK should be top on your gift list.

Almost three months ago, IKEA and LEGO launched the product of their collaboration — BYGGLEK in the US and Europe. (I’m still waiting!)

My first thought was that the BYGGLEK was “just” a collection of boxes of different sizes: one set of three small boxes, a large and medium box. Along with the boxes, a set of LEGO bricks to kick-start the play experience.

What has happened since?

Did they remain as dusty storage boxes in dark cupboards?

Well, I should have known better. A studded surface never remains so with LEGO fans. A check on Instagram hashtag #bygglek revealed lots of delightful creations.

Oh what fun.

Homage to IKEA
Play at home

Many BYGGLEK creations centered around homes. Like this Grecian styled house.

Or beach house. @hello.bricks used the various BYGGLEK boxes to create a 3 level home any minifig would love. I mean it has a barbecue pit and jacuzzi.

And this amazing structure from @trickybricks.

Granted, you need a lot more of other LEGO pieces besides the BYGGLEK, but setting the creations on a platform seem to elevate the design.

Three swipes (or click the right arrow) to see the tea box by @mind_the_brick. Perfect for that too.

A fantastic harbor front home. The BYGGLEK box lets @my.lego.mocs raise the street scene and add a metro line and port.

A pool villa. I wouldn’t mind staying-at-home here.

Christmas comes early

Lots of Christmas creations on the box too. This one, funnily with Santa partying with Stormtroopers. You never know.

Santa lights up on this one.

In case you’re wondering what’s happening at North Pole.

LEGO BYGGLEK, the gift that keeps on giving.

Delicious designs

And of course, food. A hot dog is included in the LEGO BYGGLEK 201-piece brick set. The chef and his kitchen comes with too.

This LEGO fridge takes the cake.

Lastly, a menagerie.

Gift the IKEA LEGO BYGGLEK:

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up. Photo: IKEA.com SKÅDIS pegboard system See it on IKEA.com But no matter how perfect a system, you can trust IKEA hackers to improve on the SKÅDIS. And they’ve settle these 5 issues you may have faced with the handy IKEA pegboard. Read on for their fixes. 5 IKEA SKÅDIS issues and fixes #1 Expensive hooks? You’ll need quite a number of hooks and accessories to fill up the SKÅDIS pegboard, and Kenyer was shocked at how quickly they all added up. So he figured he could make his own hooks to save cost. Photo: Kenyer Over at Instructables , he shows us how to twist copper wires into the SKÅDIS hook shape. It works s...

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
