How to Make a New Facebook Account.
This teaches you how to create a new Facebook account after signing out of your old one. You can do this on both the desktop and the mobile versions of Facebook. If you want to use the email address that you used for your old Facebook account with your new one, you'll need to delete your account and wait for the account to fully delete before creating your new one.
