A magic amulet is a charm on a string that you wear around your neck, and it is a fun way to practice simple shapes. This one is built from a big circle, a small loop, two string lines, a five-pointed star, and a few little diamond-shaped sparkles. It looks fancy when it is done, but each part is easy to draw one at a time.

Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The round medal
Draw a big circle in the middle of your paper, leaving room above it for the string. Take your time and let the line curve all the way around.
Step 3: The hanging loop
At the top of the circle, draw a small rounded loop like a tiny oval. It sits half on top of the circle line and half inside it. This is where the string will go through.
Step 4: The two strings
Draw a slanted line that starts above the loop and ends at the left side of the top of the loop. Then draw another on the right side, so the two lines make a V shape.
Step 5: The big star
Draw a star in the center of the circle. Start with a point at the top, zigzag out to the five points, and round the corners a little.
Step 6: The top sparkles
Draw a small sparkle on each side above the star, inside the circle. Make each one a little diamond with the sides curved in.
Step 7: The tiny sparkles
Add two much smaller sparkles low down, one on each side of the bottom of the star. Draw them the same way, just tiny.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a magic amulet
- Draw the circle lightly first and take your time. If it comes out a little wobbly, that is fine, because a hand-made charm looks charming that way.
- The star is the trickiest part. Make five small dots in a ring first, then connect them in a zigzag, and your points will come out even.
- Sparkles look best when the sides curve in. Draw a tiny plus sign first, then join the tips with soft curved lines.
