**Creating Emoji Magnets: A Step-by-Step Guide**

When it comes to adding a personal touch to our lives, we often turn to creative DIY projects. In this article, we'll explore how to create your own Emoji magnets using foam, glue, and other craft materials. With these easy-to-follow steps, you can transform your fridge into a colorful and playful space.

**The First Emoji: Expressionless Face**

We start with the easiest one – the expressionless face emoji 🤔. The process is simple yet requires attention to detail. Using a permanent marker, draw three lines for the face, creating the signature shape of this emoji. Next, cut out a circle from white craft foam and glue it onto the face, forming the eye. A black dot serves as the pupil, while a brown permanent marker completes the features by filling in the rest of the face. To add some personality to your Emoji, you can fill in the smile with a brown marker.

**The Second Emoji: Face with Okay Gesture**

Next up is the face with an okay gesture emoji 🤷‍♀️. This one requires a bit more precision, as it's based on the size of the other emojis. Measure out the shape and draw around it to create the girl with her hands up over her head. Trim the shape to form the overall structure of the Emoji. Pink craft foam serves as the sweater, which you can cut out using a template or freehanding it. Trimming the sleeves and outlining the face complete the look. Glue everything together using a glue gun, ensuring that both sides are even and parallel.

**The Third Emoji: Poo**

Time to get creative with the Poo emoji 🚽! This one requires experience in drawing, as Karen Cavitt had to create a video challenge for this very emoji. We'll use brown craft foam to create the outline of the Poop, then trim it out to achieve accuracy. Cut out eyes from white foam and glue them onto the Poop using black permanent marker. Add some detail with an orange marker by outlining the rolls – it's not as gross as it sounds! Finally, add a smile and fill in any remaining features.

**The Sparkle Emoji**

This one is simple yet fun – the sparkle emoji 💎! Cut out sparkles from yellow foam and glue them onto a square-shaped background. Make sure to create rounded corners for an authentic look. Use orange permanent marker to add an outline if desired. This Emoji adds a touch of magic to any space, making it perfect for decoration or gift-giving.

**Tips and Variations**

To make your Emoji magnets more graphic, use adhesive dots instead of magnet strips on the back. You can also experiment with different shapes, sizes, and colors to create unique variations. If you want to try a checkmark symbol, simply draw a triangle with an arrowhead. With these tips and techniques, you're ready to start creating your own Emoji magnets.

**Conclusion**

Creating Emoji magnets is a fun and creative way to add personality to your life. By following these easy steps and using everyday craft materials, you can transform your fridge into a colorful space that showcases your unique style.

surfaces you can just put something sticky on the back and put them on whatever you want to make these magnets I'll be using craft foam you could of course print these emojis out but I like the 3D look that the craft foam gives I'm using a stencil to trace the circles and cut them out from the foam this first Emoji I'm doing is literally the easiest one it's just three lines this one is called the expressionless face and I'm just making this with a permanent marker then I'm making the emoji with the stuck out tongue and winking eye and to make the eye I'm just cutting a circle out of white craft foam and gluing that down with a glue gun completing the eye with a black dot with a permanent black marker and for the other features I'm using a brown permanent marker it really helps to have the emojis in front of you while you're drawing them so I have my iPad set up right in front of me while I'm making these now I'm just filling in the smile completely and then I cut the tongue out of pink craft foam and it's totally up to you if you want to use scissors or a craft knife since these are so small I found it easier to use the scissors then just a dab of glue for the tongue to complete this wacky emoji face for this next one it's the face with okay gesture apparently that's what it's called I'm basing it off of the size of the other Emoji which is about 1 and 1/2 in and while looking at the Emoji graphic I'm just drawing around this making the shape of the girl with the hands up over her head then just trim that shape out and next is to make her pink sweater so I'm using that shape again on top of a piece of pink craft foam and just tracing it but this time making it a little larger than the original shape and if you're going for accuracy you want to make sure that both sides are even and parallel now making the sleeves and the outline of her face trim that out and your emoji now has a pink sweater you want to glue that on top of the original shape with some glue and then you can start filling in the features I used the brown permanent marker again and just making her hands and her hair and filling in her features with a black permanent marker on the smile and then going back to the brown for the nose and the eyes you can also use a yellow permanent marker if you want her hair to stand out a little bit more then outline her sweater with a brown
