10 Craft Ideas to do With St. Joseph Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have finished coloring their St. Joseph pages, don't let those masterpieces gather dust! Put their creative efforts to good use with these easy and affordable crafts.
1. St. Joseph's Carpenter's Tool Belt
Cut out your colored St. Joseph image and several drawn or colored tools (hammer, saw, ruler). Glue St. Joseph onto a long strip of brown construction paper or poster board, shaped like a belt. Attach the paper tools into paper “pockets” along the belt, then use yarn or string to let kids wear their very own St. Joseph tool belt.
2. Lily Staff Bookmark
Cut out a small St. Joseph image from a coloring page, and a few lily blossoms. Glue these onto a strip of cardstock, roughly 2×7 inches, shaped like a staff at one end. Punch a hole at the top and tie a piece of green ribbon or yarn to complete your symbolic St. Joseph bookmark.
3. Sleeping Joseph Prayer Box
Decorate a small cardboard box (like a tissue box or shoe box lid) with construction paper. Cut out a picture of St. Joseph sleeping from your coloring page and glue it to the top or inside. This becomes a special place where you can write prayers or intentions on small slips of paper and place them under “Sleeping Joseph,” just as the devotion suggests.
4. St. Joseph's Workshop Diorama
Transform a shoebox into a miniature workshop scene. Cut out your colored St. Joseph figure and various tools from the coloring pages, then glue them to the inside walls or stand them up with small cardboard bases. Add popsicle stick “lumber” or cotton ball “sawdust” for extra detail to your diorama of Joseph at work.
5. Holy Family Protector Plaque
Glue a finished coloring page featuring St. Joseph with Mary and Baby Jesus onto a sturdy piece of cardboard or poster board. Decorate the edges with construction paper strips or markers, adding words like “Protector of the Holy Family” or “St. Joseph, Pray for Us.” Punch a hole at the top to hang your protective plaque on a wall.
6. St. Joseph's House Blessing Banner
Cut a large triangle or pennant shape from poster board. Glue a prominent colored image of St. Joseph (perhaps holding lilies or tools) onto the banner. Write “St. Joseph, Bless Our Home” or “Go To Joseph” with markers. Punch holes along the top and thread yarn or string through to create a meaningful home blessing banner.
7. St. Joseph the Worker Finger Puppet
Cut out a colored St. Joseph figure from your page, making sure it's small enough for a finger puppet. Glue the cutout to a craft stick or a small paper tube (like from a toilet paper roll, cut short) for a stand. Alternatively, make two finger holes at the bottom of the cutout so you can animate St. Joseph with your fingers.
8. St. Joseph's Dreams Story Wheel
Print two large circles on cardstock. On the bottom circle, draw scenes from St. Joseph's dreams (angel appearing, flight into Egypt). Cut out your colored St. Joseph figure and glue it to the top circle. Cut a “window” in the top circle, then attach the two circles at their center with a brad fastener so you can spin St. Joseph and reveal different dream scenes.
9. St. Joseph the Worker Medallion
Cut out a circular image of St. Joseph from your coloring page. Glue it onto a slightly larger circle of cardboard or stiff felt. Add glitter or small craft gems around the border. Punch a hole at the top and thread yarn or string through to create a wearable medallion honoring St. Joseph the Worker.
10. St. Joseph Staff & Lilies Wreath
Cut out a ring shape from poster board to form your wreath base. Cut out several colored lilies and images of St. Joseph's staff from your coloring pages. Arrange and glue these elements around the poster board ring, overlapping them to create a beautiful wreath symbolizing St. Joseph's purity and patronage.
