10 Craft Ideas to do With Desk Coloring Pages
Once your desk coloring pages are beautifully finished, don't let them gather dust! Transform them into these easy and affordable crafts that celebrate your workspace.
1. Personalized Desk Name Plate
Cut out your favorite desk items or even the full desk scene from your colored pages. Glue these onto a piece of sturdy cardstock or a thin piece of cardboard, shaping it into a name plate. Write your name clearly on the front to proudly display on your desk.
2. Study Buddy Pencil Toppers
From your colored pages, carefully cut out small figures of pencils, books, or even tiny desk lamps. Glue two identical cutouts back-to-back around the end of a pipe cleaner or directly onto a small cardboard circle. Attach this assembly to the top of your pencils for a fun study companion.
3. Custom Desk Organizer Caddy
Save an empty tissue box or small cereal box to use as the base. Cut out various desk-themed elements or entire colored patterns from your finished pages. Glue these pieces all over the outside of the box to create a unique and personalized holder for your pens, pencils, and other desk supplies.
4. “My Dream Desk” Diorama
Grab a shoebox and use it as the setting for your dream desk. Cut out individual elements like desks, chairs, computers, and books from your colored pages. Glue them strategically inside the shoebox to create a charming 3D diorama of your ideal workspace.
5. Bookmark Buddies for Bookshelves
Cut a long, thin strip from your colored page, featuring a favorite desk-related pattern or item. Then, cut out a small character or object, like a smiling pencil or stack of books, and glue it to the top of the strip. Laminate with clear tape for durability, creating a fun bookmark for any book resting on your desk.
6. Homework Schedule Clip Board
Decorate a piece of cardboard or poster board with a border made from cut-out rulers, pencils, and other desk tools from your colored pages. Punch a hole at the top and attach a decorated clothespin (use tiny paper cut-outs from your pages). Use it to clip up your daily homework schedule or important reminders.
7. Desk-Themed Garland
Cut out many small, distinct desk-related shapes such as desks, chairs, lamps, and books from your colored pages. Punch a hole at the top of each cutout. String them onto a piece of yarn or string to create a decorative garland to hang above or around your study space.
8. Mini Desk Coasters
Cut out interesting patterns or vibrant scenes from your finished coloring pages into small squares or circles. Glue these onto cardboard pieces. For durability, cover them with clear contact paper or multiple layers of clear packing tape to create functional and personalized mini coasters for your desk.
9. Creative Lamp Shade Decor
If you have a plain paper lampshade on your desk lamp, carefully cut out small, intricate designs or specific desk items from your colored pages. Gently glue these embellishments onto the lampshade. This will add a unique, personalized, and academic touch to your lighting.
10. “Desk Scene” Story Cubes
Gather a few small wooden blocks or create cubes from cardstock. Cut out individual desk items like a book, a pen, a computer monitor, a chair, a plant, and a coffee mug from your colored pages. Glue one distinct item onto each face of the cubes, then roll them to inspire fun desk-themed stories!
