Easy DIY LEGO Birthday Party Favors: Wrap LEGO books with personalized paper LEGO brick book wraps using colored paper and a circle craft punch. It's an easy and useful LEGO birthday party favor idea! | LEGO birthday party favor | LEGO goodie bag idea

Here’s an easy and cute favor idea for a LEGO birthday party: LEGO books with quick-and-easy personalized paper book wraps that look like LEGO bricks.

Books are always a welcome birthday party favor and the colorful and whimsical personalized favor tags add a festive touch.

While books can run on the expensive side of the favor spectrum, I decided that I’d rather spend $4 per guest on useful and fun LEGO birthday party favors rather than give them a chotchkie-filled goodie bag. We limited the party sweets table to just my handmade LEGO birthday cake, diverted that money on favors instead, and still stayed well within our birthday budget.

Making these LEGO birthday party favor is so easy to make that your kids can help out too. I had Liam and Elise help punch, press, and wrap in a little family assembly line. And you can personalize them any way that you’d like.

How to make easy DIY LEGO Birthday Party Favors and Tags:

Gather your supplies: LEGO book favors, colored card stock paper in LEGO-inspired colors, 1″ round craft punch, craft knife, metal ruler and self-healing mat (or good paper scissors). Not pictured: good craft scissors, Washi tape, foam mounting tape.

Supplies to make DIY LEGO birthday party favors using LEGO books and paper

Cut a strip lengthwise from the colored paper. I cut thin strips for the chapter books and thicker strips for the Level 1 and Level 2 readers. Wrap it around the book to make a DIY book wrapper.

Print words onto colored paper. I used Adobe Illustrator but you could just use PowerPoint. Leave a little space between each typed word, then punch it out using a 1″ hole punch. Font-wise, I used Helvetica to match the LEGO packaging.

Punch colors that match LEGO colors to make the DIY LEGO birthday party favors

Punch plain circles to fill in between the words.

Cut a tiny piece of foam mounting tape and adhere to the back of a circle.

Put a piece of 3D foam tape on the back to add dimension

Peel the backing from the other side to stick onto the book wrapper. For the LEGO chapter books, I put two plain circles on the sides and Thanks (Guest Name) in the center.

Cut a small piece of Washi tape to hold the book wrap together. For the Level 1 and Level 2 readers, I taped the wrapper to the book itself (washi tape easily peels off with no damage).

No need for a goodie bag – just hand out the LEGO books with their personalized paper LEGO brick tags. And everything is awesome!

    I love this idea. Going to use it for favors for my grandson’s kindergarten class next week instead of candy, etc. I gathered all supplies and discovered that the paper (Astrobrights cardstock 8.5 x 11) is not long enough to wrap around the book. Perhaps because I bought the DK readers and not the scholastic ones? No big deal, just a little more work, piecing the pieces together. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! haha. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂

      Hi Karen. Thank you so much for commenting! I love that you’re making these for your grandson’s class. And that’s so interesting about the book sizes. I guess I just got lucky with the smaller books. You’re a champ for piecing the pieces together! We went to the LEGO Store on Monday and they were building a gigantic LEGO Emmet, like 10 feet tall. Kids got to help add some blocks, super fun. Thanks again for reading!
