DIY Emoji Wreath

Picture and tutorial from awwsam.com

Materials:

      • Foam wreath
      • Vinyl (Choose the following colors: red, pink, blue, white, brown, and black)
      • Clear ornaments in various sizes
      • Yellow spray paint
      • Hot glue gun
      • Scissors

Instructions:

1. Layout the variety of clear ornaments.

2. Spray paint them yellow all the way around. Before placing the vinyl on them, let the paint dry completely.

3. If you have access to a vinyl machine, cut out the faces from the vinyl. Scissors work for this too.

4. Before placing the vinyl onto the yellow ornaments, let the paint dry completely. Then place the faces onto them

5. Once the faces are complete, take the foam wreath and hot glue the ornaments onto the wreath. You’ll want to spread out the large ornaments all around the wreath and then use the smaller ornaments to fill it in.

6. Loop a string at the top to hang on the wall for the perfect Emoji Party decoration!

DIY Cardboard Emoji Faces

Picture and tutorial from: diyinspired.com

Materials:

      • Variety of sized cardboard boxes
      • Yellow, black and white paint
      • Foam and bristle paint brushes
      • Colored construction paper
      • Black Sharpie
      • Variety of round objects to trace
      • Pencil
      • Glue
      • Scissors
      • Printed Emoji faces

Instructions:

      1. Cut open the cardboard box to lay flat. Paint the entire inside yellow. It may take more than one coat of paint.
      2. Trace a circle using a round object. Bowls, pizza pans, and plates are great for tracing.
      3. Cut the circles out with the scissors and use them as Emoji heads.
      4. Google Emoji faces, print, and cut them out. Then trace around the parts of the cutout faces onto the yellow circles. Use a pencil so you can erase if needed.
      5. Use a Sharpie to outline the shapes and then use paint to fill in the features.
      6. Glue on construction paper for added touches such as the tears for the crying emoji or the heart eyes.
      7. Use these emoji cutouts for party decorations and for props at a photo booth.

Cupcakes: And of course, we can’t forget the classic cupcake dessert! So many are doing poop emoji inspired cupcakes, but if you’re not into that, check out our Emoji DIY cupcake toppers to dress up the top of plain iced cupcakes!

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Place the included backing paper on a clean, flat surface.
  2. Place the top of the lollipop stick at the approximate center/middle point of the colored backing paper. This should leave the top half of the backing paper above the lollipop stick and the bottom half of the backing paper behind the top part of the lollipop stick.
  3. Remove a sticker from the sticker sheet and apply the sticker over the lollipop stick. Press down firmly and smooth out the length of the sticker to ensure that the sticker and backing paper are secure. This should leave the sticker and backing paper tightly wrapped around the lollipop stick.
  4. Stick the cupcake picks in the top of your cupcakes, serve and enjoy!

Don’t forget to display your cupcakes or brownies on our white tier cupcake stands!

These stands hold between 16 and 24 cupcakes depending on cupcake size. There is assembly required, but it’s simple and easy to do! Though this stand is reusable, don’t put it in the dishwasher. Use a rag to wipe it down.

Measurements are as follows:

  • 1st Tier: 7.9in
  • 2nd Tier: 9.9in
  • 3rd Tier: 11.9in
  • Height: 14.5in
  • Base Width: 10.5in

Assembly Instructions:

1. Each cupcake stand comes with 5 pieces: 2 pieces to form the stem and 3 tiers. The largest tier goes on first, then the middle-sized tier, then the smallest tier.
2. Using the 2 stem pieces (the pieces with arms), set the shorter piece inside the longer piece. The base should have an “x” shape and should stand on its own.
3. Take the largest tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the base’s bottom legs.
4. Take the middle-sized tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the middle set of stem arms.
5. Take the smallest tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the top set of stem arms.
6. Your cupcake stand should now look like pictured product. You can place up to 24 cupcakes on a stand at once. It’s easiest to fill from bottom to top; place cupcakes across from one another as opposed to straight up one side to avoid the cupcake stand tipping from uneven weight.

Take a pastry bag and decorating tip and swirl chocolate frosting on top of a cupcake. Then add candy eyes and you have the perfect poop emoji cupcake!

Write the names on the back so that guests know which one was there’s. Put a blindfold on each participant, twirl them around, and then see how close they can get the glasses on the emoji face.

Emoji Slime:

Picture and emoji printable for slime from: littlebinsforlittlehands.com

Materials:

  • Glue (1/2 Cup)
  • Liquid starch (1/4 Cup)
  • Water (1/2 Cup)
  • Yellow food colors
  • Measuring cups
  • Mix container
  • Stirring spoon
  • Small jars to store slime

Instructions:

1.  Combine 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of glue into a bowl and mix well.

2. Add yellow food coloring to the mix. Start slow and add more for a brighter color if needed. If you want, you can even add glitter to the slime!

3. Now it’s time for the liquid starch. Pour in 1/4 cup of the liquid starch. This is when you’ll see the slime take formation. Stir it until it’s one big goop of slime with no liquid remaining.

4. Knead the slime so that it’s less stringy and has a smooth slime-like consistency. Place in a clear container and let set for a few minutes before playing with it.

Photobooth:

Set up a photo booth and use our photo props to help your guests create great memories! You can even have an area set up with leftover yellow plates from your emoji backdrop and have a DIY photo prop making area. Your guests can design their own emoji face and then glue the plate to a wooden craft stick. Of course, you can also use that masks that I mentioned above to wear in the photo booth as well!
