How to Build a LEGO Pyramid

Place the 16-by-16-stud green plate on a flat, solid surface.

Create the first level of the pyramid by snapping a 2-by-2-stud tan brick into each corner of the plate. Place two 2--by-6-stud tan bricks lengthwise between each corner brick along the edge to form a solid border. Fill in this level completely with 2--by-6-stud bricks placed side by side.

Place a 2--by-2-stud tan brick in each corner so that a single row of studs from the previous level shows along the edge. Put a 2-by-4-stud tan brick, a 2-by-2stud tan brick and a second 2-by-4-stud tan brick between the corner bricks on each side to form a solid border. Fill the inside of this level completely with a row of five 2-by-6-stud tan bricks and a row of five 2-by-4-stud tan bricks.

Starting one row inward from the edge of the previous level, place a 2-by-2-stud tan brick in each corner and a single 2-by-2-stud tan brick directly in the middle of the corner bricks on each side. Fill in the gaps with eight 2-by-3-stud tan bricks to create a solid border. Fill the empty section in the center with four 2-by-8-stud tan bricks.

Create a new level using four 2-by-8-stud tan bricks to form a box-shaped border. Allow for a single row from the previous level to show. Fill in the center with three 2-by-6-stud tan bricks.

Use four 2-by-6-stud tan bricks to form a square border on a new level, starting one row from the outside of the underlying level. Fill in the center using two 2-by-4-stud tan bricks.

Place four 2-by-4-stud tan bricks on top of the previous level starting one row from the edge to form a box shape. Use a 2-by-2-stud tan brick to fill in the remaining studs in the middle.

Snap in two 2-by-4-stud tan bricks on top of the underlying layer in the center. Place a single 2-by-2-stud tan brick in the center of these bricks to top of the pyramid.
