10 Craft Ideas to do With Dog Coloring Pages
Once your masterpieces are complete, don't let those beautiful dog coloring pages gather dust! Give them new life with these easy and affordable crafts.
1. Personalized Dog Treat Jar
Give an old jar new charm by transforming it into a custom dog treat holder. Cut out your favorite colored dog images from the pages and glue them around a clean, empty plastic peanut butter jar or glass mason jar. Seal your artwork by brushing a layer of Mod Podge over the images or wrapping the jar with clear packing tape for durability.
2. Wagging Tail Dog Puppet
Bring your canine creations to life with a simple puppet! Cut out a full dog body from a coloring page and glue it onto a sturdy popsicle stick. For the wagging tail, cut a separate tail shape from construction paper and attach it to the dog's rear with a brad fastener, allowing it to swivel and “wag” when played with.
3. Dog Ear Headband
Channel your inner pup with a fun dog ear headband. Cut out two distinct ear shapes from a colored dog page, then reinforce them by gluing them onto a slightly larger piece of cardstock. Attach the reinforced ears to a strip of construction paper or a pipe cleaner bent into a headband shape, sized to fit comfortably around a child's head.
4. “My Dog” Memory Game
Create a fun, educational game using your dog coloring pages. Carefully cut out pairs of identical dog images from different completed pages. Glue each cut-out onto a sturdy piece of cardstock or poster board, ensuring they are uniform in size and opaque, then mix them up for a delightful matching memory game.
5. Canine Coaster Creations
Protect your tabletops with custom dog-themed coasters. Cut out square or circular sections of your colored dog pages, slightly smaller than your desired coaster size. Glue these onto cardboard squares (from old cereal boxes work great) and then cover the entire surface with clear contact paper or several layers of Mod Podge for a waterproof finish.
6. Pop-Up Dog Card
Surprise a friend with a charming pop-up dog card for any occasion. Fold a piece of cardstock in half for the card base. Cut out a vibrant dog image from a coloring page, then create a simple pop-up mechanism by cutting and folding two parallel slits in the card's inner fold to attach your dog cutout, making it “pop” when opened.
7. Dog Bone Photo Frame
Frame a cherished pet photo with a handmade dog bone design. Cut out a large bone shape from poster board. Then, cut smaller dog faces or paw prints from your colored pages and glue them along the border of the bone, leaving a space in the center for your favorite dog photo to be attached.
8. Doggy Door Hanger
Personalize any room with a cute doggy door hanger. Cut out a large dog shape or a bone shape from thick construction paper or cardstock. Decorate it by gluing smaller cut-out dog elements from your coloring pages. Don't forget to cut a hole near the top for it to easily hang over a doorknob.
9. Dog Breed Banner
Celebrate different dog breeds by creating a festive banner. Cut out individual dogs or dog faces from various coloring pages. Punch a hole in the top corners of each cutout, and then string them together using yarn or ribbon, interspersed with construction paper bones or paw prints, to create a lively garland.
10. Storybook Dog Bookmarks
Keep your place in your favorite book with an adorable dog bookmark. Cut out long, rectangular strips of cardstock or construction paper. Then, cut out individual dog faces or small full-body dog images from your finished coloring pages and glue one to the top of each bookmark strip. Add a small hole at the top and thread a piece of yarn or ribbon through for an extra touch.
