10 Craft Ideas to do With Shetland Sheepdog Coloring Pages
Once your collection of beautifully colored Shetland Sheepdog pages starts to pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts are perfect for giving your artistic efforts new life.
1. “Best in Show” Rosette Badge
Cut out your favorite colored Shetland Sheepdog. Fold strips of colorful construction paper into a pleated rosette shape and glue your Sheltie cutout to the center. Attach a safety pin or a loop of ribbon to the back to wear your champion proudly.
2. Fluffy Sheltie Bookmark
Carefully cut out your Sheltie. Glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardstock or a thin strip of poster board, extending slightly above the top. Add a small hole at the top and thread through a colorful yarn tassel for an elegant reading companion.
3. Sheltie Herd on a Stick Puppet
Cut out several Sheltie figures from your coloring pages. Glue each one onto a craft stick or a popsicle stick. Now you have a whole “herd” of puppets ready to act out fun herding adventures or put on a show!
4. Farm Scene Diorama
Use a shoebox as your backdrop. Cut out your colored Shelties and glue them into the scene, along with construction paper trees, fences, and maybe even some cotton ball sheep. Create a miniature farm landscape where your intelligent Shelties can “work.”
5. Sheltie Headband Ears
Cut out the ears and a small portion of the head from a Sheltie coloring page. Glue these onto a strip of construction paper or an old plastic headband. Now you can transform into an adorable Shetland Sheepdog yourself!
6. Loyal Companion Photo Frame
Decorate a plain photo frame by cutting out small Sheltie figures or their faces from your pages. Glue them around the border of the frame. This makes a charming display for your favorite family photos, celebrating the Sheltie's loyal nature.
7. Sheltie “Wool” Collar Charm
Carefully cut out a small, detailed Sheltie from your page. Glue it onto a piece of sturdy felt or cardstock. Around the edges of the Sheltie, glue small pieces of cotton ball to mimic their fluffy “wool” coat, then attach a pipe cleaner loop to hang it on a bag or pet carrier.
8. Dreamy Sheltie Mobile
Cut out several Sheltie figures and other related items like little sheep or dog bones from your coloring pages. Attach each cutout with different lengths of string to a hanger or two crossed popsicle sticks. Hang it above a bed for sweet dreams of herding dogs.
9. “Sheltie Says” Memory Game
Print and color two copies of several different Sheltie coloring pages. Cut out identical pairs of Shelties and glue them onto cardstock squares. Flip them face down and play a fun memory game, testing your matching skills just like a smart Sheltie!
10. Personalized Sheltie Wall Art
Choose your favorite colored Sheltie page and carefully cut out the dog. Glue it onto a slightly larger piece of contrasting construction paper or poster board. Add a simple border with a marker or small yarn fringe to create a custom piece of art for your room.
