10 Craft Ideas to do With Cerberus Coloring Pages
Once your magnificent Cerberus coloring pages are complete, don't let them fade into the abyss – transform them into these easy, affordable crafts!
1. Cerberus Gate Guardian Door Hanger
Cut out your ferocious Cerberus and glue him onto a sturdy piece of cardboard (like from a cereal box). Draw or glue on paper “chains” around the edges, then punch a hole at the top. Hang your multi-headed guardian on any doorknob to protect your room!
2. Three-Headed Puppet Show
Carefully cut out three different Cerberus heads (or the whole creature three times) from your colored pages. Glue each onto a separate popsicle stick to create individual puppets. Use an upside-down shoebox as your “Underworld” stage and put on a mythological show!
3. Mythical Beast Crown
Cut out your favorite Cerberus head(s). Measure and cut a strip of black or red construction paper to fit around a child's head, then glue the Cerberus onto the front. Decorate the crown band with drawn flames or silver paper “chains” for a truly beastly accessory.
4. Underworld Diorama Box
Turn a shoebox on its side. Glue your cut-out Cerberus inside, perhaps guarding a drawn or constructed “gate.” Use crumpled black tissue paper for jagged rocks and red construction paper strips for flickering flames to create a dramatic mythological scene.
5. Chain Collar Display
Cut out a fierce Cerberus image. Glue it onto a wide strip of poster board or heavy cardstock. Decorate this “collar” with silver marker chains, or attach small paper chain links made from grey construction paper. Display it on a shelf or as a cool wall hanging.
6. “Beware the Hound” Sign
Mount a full, colored Cerberus page onto a piece of sturdy cardboard or a foam board. Use a thick marker to write “BEWARE THE HOUND” or “GUARDIAN AT WORK” above or below your creature. Punch holes at the top corners and thread yarn or string through to hang your warning sign.
7. Fiery Cerberus Garland
Cut out several smaller Cerberus figures or heads from multiple colored pages. String them together on a long piece of yarn or ribbon, alternating with red, orange, and yellow tissue paper “flames” that you've cut out. This creates a fearsome, fiery decoration for any party or room.
8. Cerberus Key Protector
Cut out a single Cerberus head or a small multi-headed figure. Laminate it using a laminating machine or by covering both sides with clear packing tape for durability. Punch a hole at the top and attach it to a keyring, letting Cerberus guard your keys from all evil.
9. Three-Headed Monster Mask
Glue a large cut-out Cerberus (or combine three smaller heads) onto a paper plate or a piece of thick cardstock. Carefully cut out eyeholes for visibility. Attach an elastic string to the sides or glue a popsicle stick to the bottom for a handle, creating a terrifying mask.
10. Cerberus Fire-Breather Art
Glue your cut-out Cerberus onto a black or dark blue piece of construction paper. Take small pieces of red, orange, and yellow tissue paper or cotton balls dyed with food coloring. Glue these “flames” coming out from Cerberus's three mouths for a dynamic, textured art piece.
