Top 5 exciting and valuable projects to put your coloring pages to use

So, now since you have made it an activity for everyone, you would be left with stacks of coloring pages. These can be pretty important if they are your children’s and don’t want to shove them in the bin. Here are a few things you can do to put them to good use and save them for a long time ahead.

• Design your phone case

Let’s start the list with a fun, creative, and valuable project for your finished coloring pages. With those, you can easily make a DIY phone cover for yourself. What you need are a clear phone case and your favorite colored page. 

Afterward, cut out the coloring page according to the size of your phone cover. Make sure to cut nice and neat, keeping the camera and flashlight holes in mind. Next, you can glue it to the inside of the transparent case, or if you want to change it more often, you can just fit it for a while.

• Make an envelope

We all made paper envelopes when we were younger. This time, you can use your pre-loved coloring pages and make one from them. You can either try freehand by following a tutorial or get a template for the type of envelope you want to make. These can be super personalized and great to give to your loved ones.

• Prepare bookmarks

If you are a bookaholic, this one’s for you. An excellent and super helpful thing you can do with your finished coloring sheets is design your bookmarks from them. 

These can be super easy and fun to make, and you end up with beautiful, durable, and one of a kind, bookmarks. All you need to do is cut out your favorite pattern in strips and then attach it to a piece of cardboard to have a thickness or laminate it to make it last a lifetime. You can also attach ribbons or tassels to make it fancier.

• Frame displays

If you are one of those parents that want to save up everything your child does, a great idea can be to frame your toddler’s masterpieces. This may seem like a costly DIY, but it’s super cheap. All you need are:

• Your child’s finished coloring pages
• A few frames (grab some from the dollar store)
• A little bit of spare time

Next, you’ll frame the coloring pages and hang them in your child’s bedroom or anywhere you like.

• Wall of sayings

The tiny cute frames can be an excellent idea for your child, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be applied to adult coloring pages. You can make yourself your very own “wall of sayings.” This can be a collection of all the quotes that have kept you going or taught you something throughout life. You can find quotes as coloring pages from many sites online, print them up, color them and hang or paste them on your wall of sayings.
