These wearable builds are a crowning achievement in LEGO

It’s easy for minifigures to get dressed in their LEGO finest, but for humans looking to wear their hobby on their sleeves, one has to get creative, as outside of rings and wristbands (and Nike collabs), LEGO hasn’t provided many official offerings for the brick-built wardrobe. Finnish artist Heidi Aulikki Puumalainen is one of a small but growing number of builders focused on wearable builds, like this jewel-encrusted crown that is both elegant and sturdy enough to wear dancing.

Heidi’s headwear first shone on LEGO Masters Finland where she partnered with Satu Aaltonen, whose work is currently on display in LEGO House’s Masterpiece Gallery. For this bridal-themed headpiece, Heidi led the build while Satu wore it down the runway. I love how elegant the trans-yellow chains become when draping from a floral crown.

My favorite of Hedi’s wearables is this couture crown that mixes Botanicals-stiyle colors with gold elements with bold assymetry.

The backof the headpiece relies on the surprisingly strong connections of LEGO leaf elements that can flex to form gentle curves (as seen in the beautiful works of azurekingfisher).

Heidi’s flower crown would look perfect at either a Scandinavian Midsummer gathering or the runway. I especially love the translucent umbrella flowers.

Heidi’s creations aren’t limited to headwear. She’s also created a line of functional clutches, like this Fabuland-inspired bag with a tank tread strap. The Hogwarts H tile makes for a perfect monogram for the artist.

Using transparent blue garage door slats, Heidi creates a sleek see-through clutch that would also look at home on the arm of a steampunk aristocrat of medieval alchemist.
