today I'm going to test over 40 quick
and easy unexpected ways to use Lego in
the real world so anyway let's go for
this first trick I'm going to build a
working Lego whistle and all you need to
do is take four round bricks with a hole
and stack them
together there's another few ways of
building a whistle like using these
three pieces or you can use a single
piece like this long tube this one is
definitely the loudest for this next
trick you can take Lego base plates in
different sizes and they turn into
drums each base plate makes a different
sound and to build the drumsticks I took
Lego poles and put round bricks on the
end also if you build a tiny box in Lego
fill it with studs and close it up you
can shake it and it turns into an egg
Shaker you can also use Lego to build
simple accessories like this simple
wallet with the space inside to put
money and this money sign to flex on
people or you can build a fancier wallet
like this one which opens up and inside
is a fine collection of Lego diamonds
Lego money and Lego game studs wow after
looking at this I truly believe that
flexing has reached its peak if you have
Lego chain pieces you can connect them
together and wrap them around your neck
and now you look iced out because you
have a fresh looking chain but if you
want to unlock even more drip you can
add something on the end of the chain
like a mini fig if you have string or
dental floss you can use any Lego pieces
with a hole as beads to build something
like a bracelet you can also use any
colors to customize it the way you want
it or if you don't have the right pieces
you can build a simpler one like this
bracelet which uses chains or you can
build something like the Satchel which
opens up so you can put different items
inside and using some rope you can
actually wear it another thing you can
do with Lego is build small playable
mini gamess like this Lego Tic Tac Toe
board or the simple ring toss game where
I set up different targets labeled with
different colors to indicate how many
points you get you can also build a
simple game of bowling like this one
which uses mini figs as the bowling pins
and I built this tiny round ball to bowl
with another thing you can build with
Lego are hygiene items like this comb
that can actually brush your hair to
build it I took these bricks with holes
on the side and filled them with these
bar pieces but there's other ways of
building a comb like this one which only
uses plates or this one which uses these
Technic pins now I was digging through
my Lego pieces and found this fuzzy
brush piece which comes in a car wash
set so for this next hack I'm going to
put it on the end of a stick and see if
I can use it as a
toothbrush wow it actually worked and
there's other ways you can use this
brush like you can use it to clean off
Dusty Lego sets another thing you can do
with Lego is build sport items for
example if you take a Lego base plate
and build a handle you can use it as a
pingpong paddle or if you have enough
Lego string you can combine it together
to build a working jump
rope oh my gosh I'm tired now for this
next round of Lego items we're going to
look at things you can use to eat with
like the small Lego plate that you can
put food on and to eat our food I built
a bunch of Lego utensils and we're going
to test to see if they work starting
with the fork yep another essential
utensil to eat with is a spoon so I
built one in Lego using a dish piece and
finally I built this Lego knife using
plates so let's test
that wow that was really trash but at
least it got the job done another
popular utensil are chopsticks so I
built these ones using long Technic rods
I also built this working Lego drink cup
and to build the actual cup for the
liquid I'm using this clear Dome piece
quite Exquisite I also built this simple
Lego drink mixer using long rods and
these overlapping plates at the end to
mix the drink and finally if you take
any Hollow tube piece you can use it as
a straw to drink like this very thin one
or this tube which we used as a whistle
earlier if you have lots of candy you
can build your very own Lego candy
dispenser there's a small glass case to
put the candy in and when you pull on
this lever it opens a hole for the candy
to fall through for these next few ideas
I got them from my subscribers on
Instagram this person said you can make
a wristband using mini fig legs dang
those yellow legs are kind of looking
sus you can also use Lego to scratch
your back so I built this Lego Back
Scratcher oh my gosh this feels so good
right now but to build this I made a
long stick and just put a brick on the
end sometimes if you have a broken Lego
piece it'll be so sharp that you can use
it to cut things open like a box and for
the final but most genius idea if you're
outside and find a bug you can build it
its very own Lego habitat like this one
with transparent pieces for the glass
lots of plants and this Lego man if you
just finished a Lego set and you have
the box don't throw it away because for
this next tck you can cut out the front
cover of the box and use it as a picture
so you can build a custom Lego frame
around it using plates and you can even
add things around it like mini figs and
to make it stand up I put some Lego
bricks on the back so there we go don't
be an NPC and throw your Lego boxes away
instead use them to decorate your room
another thing you can do is cut out the
Lego logo on the box and add it to the
back of your phone case so it looks like
a sticker If you have a favorite Lego
mini fig you can decorate your car by
attaching ing it to some rope and
hanging it from the rear view mirror for
this next hack you can take any Lego
Tire pieces attach it to a long Technic
rod and now you have a simple tool you
can use to massage yourself you can also
use Lego to build simple fidget toys
like you can spin a car tire on a Lego
stick another useful thing you can build
in Lego is a ruler so I built two of
them each serving a different purpose
and you can use these to measure how
long or how tall any Lego build is this
next trick is for all the gamers because
you can build simple weights to hold
down keys on your computer and mouse
that way if you're playing Minecraft you
can go eat while you're still mining for
diamonds come on give me diamonds Give
Me
Diamonds if you have any normal pen you
can take it apart to remove the Small
Tube full of ink and it fits perfectly
inside a round 2x two brick so if you
keep adding bricks and add a small cone
at the tip you can build a working Lego
pen and customize it the way you want it
you can also use Lego as a guide to draw
different shapes like circles or squares
or you can use long plates to draw
straight edges for this next hack if
you're ever on a really boring Zoom call
you can prank people by building a
simple platform to hang from the top of
your computer with a minifig that covers
your camera for this next trick if you
take a magnifying glass for a Lego mini
fig you can actually use it just like a
real magnifying glass also if you detach
the arms off a Lego mini fig you can
stick it around the camera on your phone
and now you can take pictures and videos
and feel what it's like to be a Lego
person if you have an annoying sibling
you can scatter Lego bricks around the
door of your room that way they can't
come in for this next hack you can use a
brick separator to open a soda can or
you can use it to peel off any Lego
sticker without damaging the end of it
like your fingernails would you can also
use a Lego base plate as a fly satter
there's lots of other ways to use Lego
like you can build Dice and label it
with a dry erase marker or using two
plates you can build a coin flipper if
you have a cable lying around you can
build a simple Lego tool and you can
latch the ends to tie it together and
keep it organized you can also use Lego
to build a simple phone stand that you
can also use as a tripod to take
pictures this is a special rubber Lego
piece that's flexible and you can use it
for many things like an eraser or you
can use it to build something simple
like a working bag Clipper that way your
snacks don't go bad for this next hack
if you build a long stick in Lego and
customize the end of it and you can use
it as a bookmark this next item I built
is a working Lego safe when you try
opening it the door is locked but only
when you turn this knob the door will
actually open if you you look from the
inside you'll see that I'm using a very
simple lock mechanism if you're ever
looking for other ways to hide your
money you can hide it in a Lego set like
this airplane and for this final hack I
noticed that Lego base plates are very
slippery on the bottom so using that
science I'm going to attempt to use Lego
to build a working snowboard so I took
three large base plates and connected
them together adding some detail but
there's actually no snow where I live so
I'm going to have to go somewhere that
has it and now we can finally test to
see if this thing works
okay nice yes it does go try some of
these hacks yourself comment which one
you like the most and thanks for
watching R I'm a true Jedi connect to
Bricks Like It's a Wi-Fi I am the top
dog they call me titties stacking so
quick they cannot see me
