Tap the "Stickers" option that appears.
Select your image by tapping the folded-over circle located near the top-right corner of the Stickers app.
Choose your image: A large plus sign (+) will appear, allowing you to access your photos.

Select the photo or live image you wish to convert into a live sticker, and then click "Cut Out Background." Your iPhone will automatically remove the image's background when you select it.
If the result is satisfactory to you, select "Add Sticker" in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Your new Live Sticker will appear in the Messages' Stickers app, where you may rearrange, apply effects, or delete it. Including an effect, such as a white outline, can make your sticker appear even more like a conventional one.
