  <p>How can the flames be attached to Lord Biz' coffee mugs (as seen in The LEGO Movie)?</p>

Title: How to connect fire to Lord Business' Coffee Mugs?
UserDisplayName: Mentalist
ThreadText: # How to connect fire to Lord Business' Coffee Mugs?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-06-23)
  
  So, we have [Lord Business' Evil Lair (70809-1)](https://brickset.com/sets/70809-1/Lord-Business-Evil-Lair), and we also have some two-tone flames from [another set](https://brickset.com/sets/70821-1/Emmet-and-Benny-s-Build-and-Fix-Workshop!).
  
  How can the flames be attached to Lord Biz' coffee mugs (as seen in The LEGO Movie)?
