DIY Lego Movie "Piece of Resistance"

Time to make Halloween costumes! This year I am assembling costumes based on characters from The Lego Movie. I'll be showing you the process I used to craft the Piece of Resistance.

The Piece of Resistance is stuck to our hero, Emmet, and he must use it to stop Lord Business from destroying the universe...

Things I needed:
- rectangular prism (I googled what the term for a 3D rectangle is) for the Piece of Resistance
- cylinder for the signature Lego cap
- the color red
- straps for wearability

Materials I used:
- Star Wars shoe box $0
- Ice Breakers mint container $0
- red duct tape $4.99
- drawstring backpack from a Subway kids meal $0
- scissors

I cut open the corners of the shoe box lid. 

I drew the backpack strings tightly for the most slack available, and placed the strings into the corner slits.

I fit the lid on the box securing the backpack straps in place. 

I duct tapped the Ice Breakers container to the box. I continued to tape until the form was completely covered. Fortunately, duct tape is very forgiving to unpeel and reapply to adjust mistakes like crooked lines and creases.

Voilà! Piece of Resistance!
