Build Your Own LEGO Flowers Bouquet for Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2025

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to get creative with LEGO gifts, and what better way to show your love and let your imagination bloom than with a custom-built LEGO flower bouquet?

Unlike real flowers, your LEGO roses will never wilt. The best part is, that you don’t need to purchase a full set to create a stunning arrangement.

With second-hand LEGO bricks, you can design a one-of-a-kind bouquet that’s both meaningful and eco-friendly. What better way to show love to that special someone in your life?

How to Build Simple LEGO Flowers Using Second-Hand Bricks

You don’t need an official LEGO botanical collection set to create stunning floral designs. By repurposing bricks from old sets, second-hand collections or pre-loved LEGO part sellers (like us!), you can build a completely custom bouquet that reflects your loved one’s style.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to building your unique flower inspired by classic techniques:

Build the stem:
Start with a sturdy base by stacking bricks.
Use offset stacking techniques to give the stem a natural, organic feel.
Secure the structure by adding a brick in the middle for support.
Create the flower centre:
Begin with a 2×6 or two 2×3 bricks.
Surround the centre with 2×2 bricks to give it depth.
For added stability, connect with a 2×8 brick, placing another 2×4 brick on each side.
Assemble the petals:
Use two 2×6 bricks (or four 2×3 bricks) for the main petal structure.
Connect the pieces with a 2×3 brick and place a 2×4 brick on each side, angling them outward to mimic real flower petals.
Secure smaller details with 1×2 bricks for extra texture.

You can watch this video to visualise the steps, or this tutorial here.

Once all the petals are complete, attach them to the flower centre, evenly spacing them around the edges. Be gentle, as the petals can be fragile – just like real flowers!

Pro Tip: Get creative with your design! Whether you’re building a small bouquet or a large floral arrangement, you can find a variety of second-hand LEGO pieces in our showroom. You can also browse our online store to source the parts you need.

Mix and Match for a Unique Bouquet

One of the best parts of building with second-hand LEGO is the ability to mix different colours, shapes and styles. Try creating a bouquet with:

Tulips using sloped bricks for a rounded look
Daisies with small 2×2 round plates for petals
LEGO roses by stacking curved bricks in a circular pattern
A custom LEGO vase using clear or coloured bricks to complement your bouquet

Adding green bricks for leaves and stems can help bring the bouquet to life. If you have LEGO Technic pieces, use the flexible connectors to create more natural-looking flower stems.

A DIY flower bouquet is more than just a fun project – it’s a thoughtful and sustainable gift. By reusing bricks, you’re reducing plastic waste and giving old LEGO pieces new life.

Plus, it’s a unique gift that can be endlessly reassembled, changed and personalised over time.
