POO EMOJI

Materials:

1 cup baking soda

1/2 cup cornstarch

3/4 cup water

Brown food coloring

—

Brown craft paint

Paint brush

Silver extra fine glitter

Large googly eyes

White felt

Hot glue/hot glue gun

Smoothie straw

Baking pan

Directions:

In a small pot, mix together your baking soda, corn starch, water, and a few drops of brown food colouring

Cook on medium heat and stir with a spatula until mixture starts to come together like play-dough (only takes about 2 minutes)

Place your hot dough in a bowl and cover with a damp paper towel until cool

Roll your dough out onto a piece of parchment paper with a touch of water to smooth your dough

Now separate your dough into two even dough balls, roll each dough ball into a long snake and start rotating it back and forth getting smaller and smaller as you get to the top to make a piece of poo

Use a little water on your finger to smooth your poo emoji out and lightly press down evenly into the poo emoji so creases stick together

Stick your straw into the top of the poo to poke a hole through

Set on your baking pan and bake on 175°F for 30 minutes, flip and bake for another 30 minutes

Let your poo emoji cool and then paint brown with your paint brush and brown paint

Sprinkle a small amount of glitter on top of your ornament and let dry

Hot glue your googly eyes on to the top center of your ornament

Now cut a half circle from your white felt and hot glue it right beneath the googly eyes

Place a piece of ribbon into the top hole and tie the two ends into a knot and hang on your Christmas tree

There you have it… homemade emoji ornaments!
