10 Craft Ideas to do With Star Of Bethlehem Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have finished coloring their beautiful Star of Bethlehem pages, don't let those masterpieces pile up! These easy and affordable crafts are perfect for giving them new life and bringing a festive glow to your home.
1. Guiding Light Lanterns
Transform your colored stars into a radiant lantern. Cut out your finished stars and glue them onto sheets of vellum or translucent paper. Assemble these “star panels” around a simple cylinder made from construction paper, securing with glue. Place a battery-operated tea light inside to create a warm, guiding glow.
2. Celestial Mobile Display
Create a beautiful hanging mobile to celebrate the Star of Bethlehem. Cut out several colored stars from your pages and reinforce them by gluing them onto cardboard. Attach various lengths of string or yarn to the stars and tie them to a hanger made from two crossed popsicle sticks or a pipe cleaner circle. Add glitter for extra sparkle!
3. Star Gazer's Shadow Box
Craft a three-dimensional scene with the guiding star at its center. Use an old shoebox as your base, decorating the inside with dark blue or black construction paper for the night sky. Cut out your colored Star of Bethlehem and mount it prominently in the “sky” using a small accordion-folded paper strip to make it stand out. You can add cotton ball clouds or small paper hills to complete your scene.
4. Star of Hope “Stained Glass” Window Cling
Make a beautiful faux stained-glass window decoration. Cut out your colored Star of Bethlehem and carefully cut out sections of its interior. Place these cut-out stars onto clear contact paper, then fill the open sections with various colored tissue paper pieces. Cover with another sheet of contact paper to seal, trim, and hang on a window for a luminous effect.
5. Storytime Star Puppets
Bring the story of the Star of Bethlehem to life with simple stick puppets. Carefully cut out your colored star from the page. Glue the finished star onto a craft stick or a sturdy popsicle stick. These puppets are perfect for little hands to use during storytelling or a Nativity play.
6. Star Gazer's Crown
Let your child wear the guiding star! Cut out several colored stars, varying in size, from your finished pages. Measure and cut a strip of sturdy construction paper to fit around your child's head, then glue or staple the ends to form a band. Attach the cutout stars to the headband, arranging them to point upwards like a crown.
7. Journey Tracking Story Wheel
Create an interactive story wheel showing the Star's role in the Nativity journey. Use two paper plates: cut a “window” in the top plate. Cut out your colored Star of Bethlehem and glue it prominently on the bottom plate. Draw or glue other elements of the journey (wise men, camels, stable) on the bottom plate so they appear in the window as the top plate is rotated around a brad fastener.
8. Twinkling Star Ornaments
Make festive ornaments to hang on a tree or around the house. Cut out your colored Star of Bethlehem, then glue it onto a piece of recycled cardboard (like from a cereal box) for stiffness, trimming around the edges. Punch a hole at the top, thread a loop of yarn or ribbon through it, and add a sprinkle of glitter for extra sparkle before it dries.
9. Illuminated Constellation Board
Design a beautiful wall display featuring the Star of Bethlehem amidst other celestial bodies. Glue your cut-out colored star prominently onto a large piece of black poster board. Around it, use white crayon, glow-in-the-dark paint, or stick-on stars to create a stunning night sky effect, highlighting the Star of Bethlehem as the brightest and most important celestial guide.
10. Starry Night Luminary Jar
Craft a glowing luminary jar that showcases your colored stars. Clean and dry an empty glass jar. Cut out several of your finished Star of Bethlehem coloring pages. Using a mix of white glue and water (or Mod Podge), decoupage the stars and possibly some colorful tissue paper pieces onto the outside of the jar. Once dry, place a battery-operated tea light inside for a gentle, starry glow.
