How to Make Letters Out of Legos

Choose a size for your letters. They should be at least five bricks tall, so that there is room to build the curves and lines needed for each. The larger your letters, the better you will be able to approximate curves.

Plan your layout. For straight vertical lines (such as the sides of a capital "H") place bricks of equal length directly on top of one another. For straight horizontal lines, use a longer brick that can be connected to any vertical lines. For example, the vertical sides of your capital "H" could be composed of bricks two circles long, while the horizontal line is a brick six circles long, with the two circles on each end snapped into the vertical sides. For curves and diagonal lines, use bricks of the same length but snap each brick one circle over from the brick above and below.

Snap the bricks together in your planned layout. Use bricks of a uniform width, such as the Lego standard two-circle width.
