10 Craft Ideas to do With Envelope Coloring Pages
Once you've finished coloring all those fantastic envelope pages, don't let them gather dust! These easy, affordable crafts are a perfect way to put your masterpieces to creative use.
1. Mini Mailbox Masterpiece
Transform a small shoebox or cereal box into a charming miniature mailbox. Cut out your finished envelope pages and glue them onto the outside of the box in a decorative mosaic pattern. Add a small slit for “mail” and a construction paper flag for a fun desk accessory.
2. Secret Message Pouches
Reinforce your colored envelope cut-outs with clear contact paper or a laminator for durability. Cut them into small pouch shapes, leaving one side open. Use these durable pockets to hold tiny secret notes, small treasures, or even special coupons for family members.
3. Envelope Garland Delight
Create a festive garland by punching two holes in the top corners of several finished envelope coloring pages. String them onto a piece of yarn, ribbon, or pipe cleaners. Hang your unique envelope garland across a window, doorway, or above a desk for a personalized decoration.
4. “Open Me” Wall Art
Arrange various cut-out envelope shapes from your coloring pages onto a piece of poster board. Glue some with their flaps sealed, and others with flaps partially open, as if revealing a secret. You can even draw little peeking notes or images inside the open flaps for a whimsical, interactive art piece.
5. Envelope Puppet Pals
Cut out larger envelope shapes from your coloring pages. Glue one onto a sturdy craft stick or the front of a small paper bag. Add googly eyes, yarn hair, and draw a mouth on the flap to bring your unique envelope puppet pal to life for storytelling adventures.
6. Stuffed Envelope Softies
Cut two identical, large envelope shapes from your finished coloring pages, perhaps reinforced with construction paper. Glue or carefully sew them together along three sides, leaving an opening. Stuff with cotton balls or fabric scraps, then seal the final side to create a soft, decorative “stuffed envelope” plushie.
7. Personalized Stationery Holders
Upcycle an empty cereal box or similar cardboard into a desktop stationery organizer. Cover the box with plain paper, then meticulously cut out smaller, intricate designs from your colored envelopes. Glue these detailed cut-outs onto the holder for a personalized and artistic touch.
8. Message in a Bottle Envelopes
For a whimsical craft, carefully cut your colored envelope designs into very small strips or miniature envelope shapes. Write tiny secret messages or wishes on them, roll them up tightly, and place them inside small clear bottles or vials for a charming display.
9. Envelope-Shaped Coin Pouch
Laminate a finished envelope coloring page with clear contact paper for extra durability. Cut out the envelope shape, fold it into a small pouch, and glue the sides securely. Attach a small velcro dot or button and elastic loop to the flap to create a functional and adorable coin or trinket holder.
10. Classroom “Kindness Mail” Box
As a fun group activity, decorate a large cardboard box with construction paper. Each child can decorate a few of their colored envelope pages and glue them onto the box. This creates a special “Kindness Mailbox” where kids can write and “mail” friendly notes to classmates using their personalized envelopes.
