In our last crafts’ section, we made emoji keychain, today we will make a two-in-one emoji craft, i.e. emoji pencil topper and sharpener for our school supplies.

The craft is easy and once created, looks amazing! Let’s start:

Things you need:

1. One foam sheet (yellow)

2. White glue or hot glue

3. Pencil

4. Sharpener

5. Scale

6. Scissor or paper cutter

7. Black and orange markers

Directions:

1. Cut four, 12-inch long, 1.5-centimeter-wide strips from the foam sheet, as in pictures 2 and 3.

2. Start rolling the strip, and keep pasting glue inside so that the strip remains intact, see picture 4.

3. When you reach the end of one strip, join the other with glue until you are done with all four strips, creating a coil.

4. Cut two circles of the same size as that of the coil, picture 5.

5. Draw the outline of the sharpener on the coil, then, carefully cut it out, (take help from an elder in this step), picture, 6 and 7.

6. Take a three-inch piece of strip and cover the sharpener area so that the foam coil remains unbroken and intact, picture 8.

7. Cut the sharpener area from the coil carefully, picture 9.

8. Paste glue on both sides of the coil and cover it with the circular pieces of foam we cut earlier, picture 10 and 11.

9. Cut out the sharpener space, picture 12.

10. Draw an outline on the coil with the orange marker, picture 13.

11. Draw any emoji smiley face on it with the black market, picture 14.

Your emoji pencil topper and sharpener is ready, see picture 15.
