Emoji Halloween Paper Plate Crafts

By Angela Sellari

Emoji are all the rage these days. I’ve got some super fun emoji Halloween paper plate crafts to share with you. These are made using basic craft supplies and are a fun activity for the weekend, with Halloween just a few days away.

Included are instructions for a pumpkin emoji, vampire emoji, mummy emoji and devil emoji.

Pumpkin Emoji

SUPPLIES FOR PUMPKIN EMOJI
1 dessert-sized white paper plate
Orange paint
Paint brush
Pencil or crayon
Construction paper: green, black, light blue, white
Scissors
Glue stick
Black marker

PREP WORK FOR THE PUMPKIN EMOJI
1. Paint the back side of the paper plate orange and set aside to dry.

2. Draw a stem on the green paper. With a scissors, cut the stem shape out and set aside.

3. On the light blue paper, draw and cut out 2 football shapes for the teardrops.

4. From the black paper, draw a large smile and a small triangle for the nose. Cut both shapes out with the scissors.

5. From the white paper, cut out 2 teeth that are slightly curved at the top so they fit the curve of the mouth.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE PUMPKIN EMOJI
1. Glue the green stem to the top of the pumpkin by applying glue to the back of the stem (towards the bottom) and placing it on the top of the orange plate. Hold in place for 10 seconds to allow the glue to adhere.

2. With a black magic marker, draw 2 eyebrows towards the top of the pumpkin. Underneath the eyebrows draw two eyes that are closed. They are the same shape as the eyebrows, only twice as thick.

3. Glue the triangle on for the nose, directly in the middle of the plate.

4. Glue on the large black mouth towards the bottom of the plate. Glue the two teeth on to the top of the mouth, one on each side.

5. Glue on the 2 tear drops. Each top of the tear drops should be coming from the bottom corner of each eye and slanted towards the outer edges of the plate.

PREP WORK FOR THE MUMMY EMOJI
1. On the back of the paper plate, draw a “wink” for the left eye, with a black magic marker.

3. Draw and cut out the mouth from the black construction paper. I just drew half of a circle for the shape of the mouth.
