Meme Backgrounds Tutorial in Alight Motion || Gacha Stu-Club Tutorial || [ Remake ]

What you need
Adult supervision required, black marker, coloring materials, glue stick, paper, pencil and eraser, scissors, scrap paper for cutouts, stickers or simple decorations

Step 1

Think of a funny Gacha-style character idea and a short silly caption to go with it.

Step 2

Choose whether you will draw the character directly or make it from paper cutouts.

Step 3

If drawing, lightly sketch your character on the main paper with your pencil; if using cutouts, trace the shapes you need onto scrap paper.

Step 4

Cut out the traced shapes from the scrap paper if you are using cutouts.

Step 5

Color your drawn character or color the cutout pieces using your coloring materials.

Step 6

Use the glue stick to attach the colored cutouts to the main paper or use the black marker to add bold outlines if you drew the character.

Step 7

Add facial expressions and funny props so your character looks extra silly.

Step 8

Write your short caption on a strip of paper or directly beneath the character using the black marker.

Step 9

Decorate the background with stickers or simple drawings to make the meme stand out.

Step 10

Ask an adult to help you take a clear photo or scan of your finished Gacha meme and make sure no personal information is visible.

Step 11

With your adult's permission, upload and share your finished Gacha meme on DIY.org so friends can see it.

Help!?

What can I use if I don't have a glue stick, black marker, or scrap paper?

Use white school glue or double-sided tape instead of a glue stick, colored pencils or crayons if you don't have markers, and cut cereal-box cardboard or plain printer paper instead of scrap paper for tracing and cutouts.

What should I do if my paper cutouts won't stick or my drawn outlines keep smudging?

If cutouts won't stick, spread a thin, even layer of white glue and press them under a heavy book to dry, and if black marker outlines smudge, test the marker on scrap paper and wait for the ink to dry before coloring.

How can I change the activity for different age groups?

For preschoolers, provide pre-cut shapes, stickers, and a thick black marker for simple captions while an adult handles scissors and glue, and for older kids encourage detailed pencil shading, layered cutouts, or digital editing before uploading.

How can we make our Gacha meme more creative or shareable?

Add movable parts by fastening scrap-paper arms with a paper brad, glue on fabric scraps or sequins for texture, and take multiple photos to create a short stop-motion clip to upload with your caption.

Facts about character design and meme creation

✂️ Paper cutout dolls and collages have been used for centuries to tell stories and make playful characters.

😂 Short captions (about 3–6 words) are super shareable — quick jokes often spread the fastest as memes!

🎰 The word "gacha" comes from Japanese capsule-toy machines that make a "gacha" sound when you turn them!

🎨 Tiny changes like bigger eyes or a tilted eyebrow can flip a character's emotion from happy to mischievous instantly.

🔒 When sharing your Gacha meme online, use a nickname and avoid showing school or home details to stay safe.

How do I make a Gacha meme with my child?

To make a Gacha meme, start by sketching a simple Gacha-style character or cutting shapes from colored paper. Assemble clothing and expressions, glue pieces onto a background, or arrange digitally in a simple photo editor. Add a short, funny caption using a bold font or hand lettering—keep it family-friendly. Photograph or scan your final image, resize if needed, then share only with trusted friends or a private group after checking content and obtaining parental permission.

What materials do I need to make a Gacha meme?

Materials include plain paper or cardstock, pencils and erasers, markers or colored pencils, colored craft paper for cutouts, scissors and glue, and optional stickers or sequins for decoration. You may also want a camera or smartphone to photograph the finished meme and a simple free photo or meme app for adding text and cropping. If using devices, supervise your child and choose age-appropriate apps; never include personal information when saving or uploading images.

What ages are Gacha memes suitable for?

This activity suits ages 5 and up. Younger kids (5–7) enjoy cutting and pasting with adult help for scissors and glue and assistance writing captions. School-age children (8–12) can design characters and captions mostly independently, practicing fine motor skills and humor. Teens (13+) may prefer digital editing and sharing. Adjust tools, complexity, and supervision based on the child’s abilities and comfort with devices.

What safety tips should we follow when sharing Gacha memes?

Safety tips: never include real names, addresses, school names, or identifiable photos. Share memes only within private groups, family chats, or with parental approval. Turn off location services before uploading and review any comments together. Teach kids to block or report hurtful messages and to save screenshots if necessary. Encourage kindness online and set screen-time limits so sharing stays a fun, safe activity.
