I cannot believe how quickly the summer flew by and that school is now in full swing. My kids are so excited about the new school year and gearing up with all the supplies they’ll need. Today, I’ll be sharing with you the tutorial of how I made a 3-Dimensional Emoji Notebook, along with why we’ll be keeping Wet Ones® Hand Wipes on hand throughout the school year.

When it comes to school supplies, there are some things I know we’ll need for sure… and there are some things I don’t buy until I receive the shopping list from the school. One of those for-sure purchases is Wet Ones® Hand Wipes, because they’re perfect for wiping hands after a messy craft session, after some play time in the sandbox, or after any other school-aged activity that results in messy hands. Find the Specially Marked Wet Ones® Hand Wipes in stores now which features a sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip to Universal Orlando Resort™. I love that the Specially Marked Wet Ones® Hand Wipes packaging feature two of Universal Orlando Resort’s hit attractions – Shrek 4D and Transformers™: The Ride-3D that encourage my kids to clean their hands. Did you know that Wet Ones® Antibacterial Hand Wipes kill 99.99% of germs? That’s something to smile about for sure!

Check out the notebook I made for my daughter!

DIY 3-D Emoji Notebook

To make this notebook, first gather the supplies you’ll need for this project:

• iron-on beads
• bead templates
• composition notebook
• paint & paintbrush
• washi tape
• iron
• hot glue & glue gun

Start by adding some black beads to the template to form the eyes and mouth of the emoji face. To boost the cuteness factor, I made a cute, winking face with the emoji’s tongue sticking out!

Next, add plenty of yellow beads all around, creating a circle for the face.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the beads. Set the iron to medium heat and press down over the beads to melt them.

Pop out the emoji face from the template. You could stop here, but I wanted to create a 3-dimensional emoji. So I created a second layer of beads for the eyes and tongue. Use the first emoji as a guide and form another set of emoji eyes and emoji tongue.

Place the parchment paper on top of the beads and iron the second set of emoji eyes & tongue. Use some hot glue to attach the second set of eyes onto the original emoji, placing the second set of eyes directly over the original set of eyes. Follow the same procedure for the tongue. Notice the 3-dimensional effect that is created!

Meanwhile, place some tape along the spine of the composition notebook and paint the front cover a fun color. I chose pink! After ~10 minutes, carefully peel off the tape. Let dry fully.

Add some washi tape to the front cover in a fun, geometric pattern.

Use hot glue to secure the emoji to the front of the notebook. My daughter is definitely gearing up for first grade and excited for the new school year. In addition to notebooks, pens and pencils, we know we’ll be relying on Wet Ones® Hand Wipes to keep dirt away. I love that these wipes offer a convenient way to remove messes from hands when water isn’t available.

The travel pack (20 ct.) of Wet Ones® Hand Wipes (featuring Shrek from Shrek 4D at Universal Orlando Resort™!) is so convenient for throwing in her backpack for unexpected messes throughout the day. I also keep a travel pack in my purse at all times- the convenience cannot be beat! Did you know that Wet Ones® Hand Wipes are America’s #1 Hand Wipe (based on scan data for 52 weeks ending 6/17/17)?

We also love the red canister (40 ct.) of Wet Ones® Hand Wipes, which features Optimus Prime from Transformers™: The Ride-3D at Universal Orlando Resort™ on the label. These Specially Marked Wet Ones® Hand Wipes are the perfect solution for home use. In fact, these wipes actually clean better than hand sanitizers… isn’t that impressive?

These canisters feature fun characters from two attractions at Universal Orlando on the packages, encouraging my daughter to clean her hands throughout the day.
