They always make closed loops.
Electric field lines can either form closed loops or they can start and finish on isolated electric charges. Magnetic field lines always only form closed loops.
Magnetic fields do, because there's no such thing as an isolated magnetic "pole",
and a magnetic line always starts and ends at opposite poles of the same
magnetized object.
But electric fields don't. You can easily have a bundle of isolated positive charge
over here and a bundle of isolated negative charge over there, whereupon the
lines of the electric field start on one bundle and end on the other bundle.
But electric field lines can also exist in closed loops, and they do that in radio waves, where the electromagnetic field propagates with an electric field component and a magnetic field component, and they both form closed loops.

Magnetic fields can be created by charges or the flow of current.
You would need to be standing on some kind of electrical insulator, such as a rubber mat, or on very dry ground.
a copper wire carrying current and another magnet.
