What to do with finished coloring pages
While some people prefer to display their artwork and place it on a wall, fridge, or desk, others don’t want it to gather dust and take up space in their apartment. To help you avoid wasting resources, we’ve prepared some tips on how to repurpose and upcycle your finished coloring sheets.
- Make wrapping paper. Finished coloring pages can be used to wrap small gifts.
- Create gift tags. If you prefer monochrome craft paper for presents, add splashes of color by using redesigned tags from completed artworks.
- Turn the finished page into a greeting card. Decorate one side of card stock with a colored page and the other with blank paper.
- Make an envelope. Create a simple envelope for greeting cards using an existing envelope as a template.
- Create envelope liners. Make an ordinary envelope stand out with a personal touch.
- Make bookmarks. Cut the coloring pages into bookmarks and laminate or strengthen them with card stock.
- Create a garland. Cut out desired shapes from finished coloring pages and sandwich them together with a rope in between.
- Assemble collages. Cut out various shapes from the completed sheets and assemble them into new forms and pictures.
