👀Looking at the illustrations from @lesleybarnes', a limited colour pallet of black, white, red, blue, yellow and pink was chosen! ⚪️🔴🔵🟡
🤔Could you draw something with a limited colour pallet? Maybe try your three favourite colours! 💬

🔴🟨🔷 To make the wearable shapes, felt was used to make it soft and less likely to be damaged.
💬What could you make an outfit out of? Card? Paper?

👗In order to make the skirts, Syrah recycled old hula hoops! How smart! ✨
🖌️🎨Is there anything you could repurpose into something new? Maybe an old hairband into a head piece?

🔴🔵Speaking or hairbands!
Design doesn’t need to complex to be bold! As you can see here with Syrah’s Styrofoam headpiece. ✨✏️

✨And even if you’re happy with your design, don’t be afraid to try again!
Syrah designed another headband similar to the first but ever so slightly different! 👀✏️
💬🤔Is there anything you would like to redesign? What would you change?
syrahjay retweeted
📢Remember! When designing, always take some time to double check it’s fully working the way you want!
(Even if that means bringing in a little brother or sister!) 👪

Or trying it on yourself! 💃🕺
🗒️🌀By making the skirt open and full of ribbons it spins in a more unique way than other skirts!
syrahjay retweeted
‘’So good!! I got to express myself and have fun. 100% recommended and very fun 🤍’’
👀💬What would you like to hear from people about your designs? Would you want it to be happy, funny or something else? ✏️

We've always wondered how you design a #LEGO typewriter 🤔
If you're curious too, check out this video from our friends at @NtlMuseumsScot 👇🏼
How do you design a #LEGO typewriter? How long does it take to build? How close is it to the real thing?
Find out in our new video!
LEGO designer James May describes how this set was brought to life and what it’s like to work at @LEGO_Group: nms.ac.uk/legotypewriter
