10 Craft Ideas to do With Honey Coloring Pages
Once those finished honey coloring pages start piling up, put them to brilliant use with these easy, affordable crafts!
1. Honeycomb Window Clings
Carefully cut out favorite bees, honey jars, or honeycomb shapes from your colored pages. Laminate each piece using clear contact paper or a laminating machine. Trim the edges, and your shiny, sweet clings are ready to brighten any window, sticking easily without tape.
2. Busy Bee Finger Puppets
Cut out small bee illustrations from your coloring pages. For each bee, cut a strip of construction paper about an inch wide and long enough to wrap around your finger, then glue the ends to form a ring. Glue your colored bee onto the paper ring, and you have a buzzing friend for playtime stories.
3. Honey Jar Gift Tags
Mount cut-outs of honey jars or buzzing bees from your colored pages onto sturdy cardstock. Punch a hole at the top of each new tag. Thread with a pretty ribbon or string, and attach these sweet, personalized tags to gifts, especially homemade treats or jars of real honey.
4. “Sweet as Honey” Photo Frame
Decorate a plain cardboard photo frame by gluing on small, vibrant cut-outs from your honey coloring pages. Think little bees, flowers, or golden honey drips around the border. Paint the frame yellow or gold beforehand for an extra sunny touch, making it a truly sweet display for a cherished photo.
5. Honeycomb Garland
Cut out multiple hexagon shapes or small bee figures from your finished coloring pages. You can even cut strips of “honeycomb” patterns. Glue them evenly spaced along a long piece of yarn or string to create a charming, honey-themed garland perfect for decorating a room or party.
6. Bear's Honey Pot Hat
Cut a long strip of construction paper to fit around a child's head, then glue the ends to form a headband. Cut out a picture of a bear with a honey pot (or just a honey pot) from a colored page and glue it upright onto the front of the headband. This fun hat is perfect for pretend play or a costume party.
7. Beehive 3D Diorama
Transform a small shoebox into a miniature beehive scene. Glue brown or yellow construction paper to line the inside of the box. Cut out bees, flowers, and honeycomb patterns from your colored pages and glue them inside the diorama to create a busy, vibrant bee world. You can even add tiny pipe cleaner bees flying around.
8. Golden Honey Suncatchers
Cut out large, simple shapes like a hexagon or a honey pot from cardstock to create an outline frame. In the center, glue squares of yellow and orange tissue paper. Then, glue small cut-outs of bees or flowers from your colored pages onto the cardstock frame. Hang them in a sunny window to let the light shine through like golden honey.
9. Honey Bee Pencil Toppers
Cut out small bee shapes from your finished coloring pages. Attach each bee to the top of a colorful pipe cleaner using a dab of glue. Once dry, twist the pipe cleaner around the top of a pencil. Now your pencils will have buzzing bee friends keeping watch.
10. Honeycomb Coasters
Cut sturdy cardboard into hexagon shapes, about 4 inches across. Glue cut-outs of honeycomb patterns or tiny bees from your coloring pages onto the top of each cardboard hexagon. Cover the entire top surface with clear contact paper or a layer of Mod Podge to protect the artwork, creating sweet, functional coasters.
