Instagram first announced the introduction of these life-like avatars on Jan. 31, and as the feature has been rolled out, many users have been eager to take advantage of what they offer. Here's how you can make one yourself. First, you need to open Instagram and navigate to the Stories camera. From there, take or upload a photo of yourself and tap the sticker button in the top right corner.

From there, tap the "Avatars" sticker and then tap "Create Avatar" to begin. Once you've done that, you should have the option to sync your Instagram avatar with a pre-existing avatar from Facebook, if you've made one.

If you decide to create a totally new avatar, you can choose a wide variety of details on your avatar. The options include a range of skin colors, face shapes, outfits, and various other customizations. When you're done, tap "Done" and then be sure to save your avatar.
