Make a Lego Block Puzzle in 3 Simple Steps

Start by attaching a bunch of blocks together to form a surface for the picture. This can be a simple rectangle or any fiendishly complicated shape that you want to use.
Press the blocks firmly together so that the picture can be applied evenly.

Might work even better if you use the inkjet silicon transference technique to getting your pictures onto the bricks. They’d be less likely to peel off of the blocks.

Cool, I made some of these several years ago, they make for perfect presents, too.

I used a rotary cutter for cutting, gave cleaner edges, you may see some old examples here: http://team.lu/phobrizzle/phobrizzle1.html
