10 Craft Ideas to do With Birthday Cake Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled their coloring pages with vibrant birthday cake designs, don't let those masterpieces gather dust! These 10 easy and affordable crafts are perfect for putting them to delightful use.
1. Festive Birthday Crown
Transform a poster board strip into a celebratory crown. Cut out your favorite colored cake designs and glue them along the band. Add tissue paper flames to pipe cleaner “candles” for extra birthday sparkle.
2. Celebration Cake Banner
Cut out various birthday cake shapes from your colored pages. Punch two holes at the top of each cake, then string them onto a length of yarn or ribbon. Hang your cheerful cake banner to decorate any room for a party!
3. Pop-Up Birthday Card
Fold a piece of cardstock in half for the card base. Carefully cut out a vibrant birthday cake from a coloring page, then create a simple pop-up mechanism by cutting and folding two parallel lines inside the card. Glue your cake onto the pop-up tabs for a sweet surprise when opened.
4. Cake Slice Treat Boxes
Construct small, pyramid-shaped boxes from construction paper to resemble cake slices. Decorate the flat top and sides of each “slice” by gluing on cut-outs of cake layers, frosting swirls, or sprinkles from your finished coloring pages. These are perfect for small party favors!
5. Popsicle Stick Cake Puppets
Glue a full birthday cake cut-out from your coloring page onto a wide craft stick. Add googly eyes, yarn hair, or pipe cleaner candles to bring your cake character to life. Put on a puppet show with your delicious cast!
6. “Make a Wish” Mobile
Cut out several different birthday cake designs and punch a small hole at the top of each. Tie varying lengths of string or fishing line to each cake, then attach them to a crossed pipe cleaner frame or a paper plate hanger. Hang your wish-filled mobile for a delightful decoration.
7. Frosted Cake Magnets
Glue your cut-out birthday cake designs onto small pieces of thin cardboard for stability. Decorate with glitter glue or puff paint for “frosting” and let dry completely. Attach a small self-adhesive magnet to the back of each to display on your fridge.
8. Cake-Themed Placemats
Glue a larger cut-out birthday cake design onto a sturdy piece of construction paper or cardstock. To make it durable and easy to clean, cover the entire placemat with clear contact paper or carefully laminate it with wide packing tape. Perfect for a birthday breakfast!
9. Miniature Cake Books
Cut several small cake shapes from blank paper for the pages of your book. Stack them together and staple along one edge. Cut out an even smaller, detailed cake from your coloring page and glue it onto the front cover to create a sweet mini storybook.
10. Candle Topper Picks
Carefully cut out individual candles, small cake slices, or mini whole cakes from your coloring pages. Glue each tiny design onto the top of a toothpick or lollipop stick. These delightful toppers are perfect for cupcakes, fruit platters, or even small appetizers at a party.
