10 Craft Ideas to do With He Is Risen Coloring Pages
Once those beautiful He Is Risen coloring pages are filled with vibrant color, don't just stack them away! Turn them into lasting reminders of hope and new life with these easy, affordable craft ideas.
1. Empty Tomb Diorama
Transform a simple shoebox into an Empty Tomb diorama. Cut out figures of Jesus, angels, or Mary Magdalene from your colored pages. Glue them inside the shoebox scene, perhaps with a “stone” made from a crumpled paper ball, to illustrate the resurrection moment.
2. “New Life” Butterfly Garland
Celebrate new life by creating a beautiful butterfly garland. Cut out butterfly shapes or other symbols of renewal from your finished coloring pages. Punch a hole in each, then string them together with yarn or ribbon to hang as a hopeful decoration.
3. Stone Rolled Away Mobile
Craft a captivating mobile depicting the “stone rolled away.” Cut out elements like the tomb entrance, angels, or the risen Christ from your colored pages. Attach them with thread to a hanger (like crossed popsicle sticks) for a dynamic display of the resurrection story.
4. He Is Risen Banner
Announce the good news with a festive banner. Cut out letters to spell “He Is Risen” from construction paper. Then, glue smaller sections or cut-out images from your colored pages onto each letter or flag, stringing them together with twine to create a joyful display.
5. Light of Hope Lanterns
Illuminate the message of hope with simple lanterns. Decorate glass jars or paper bags (with the bottom cut out) by gluing translucent cut-outs from your colored pages depicting resurrection scenes. Place a battery-operated tea light inside for a gentle glow.
6. Resurrection Story Wheel
Create an interactive story wheel to narrate the resurrection. Use two paper plates: on the bottom, glue different scenes from your coloring pages. Cut a window in the top plate, then attach the two plates with a brad so you can spin and reveal each part of the story.
7. Garden Tomb Window Clings
Make beautiful, sunlit window clings for a visual reminder. Carefully cut out key resurrection imagery, like the empty tomb or a cross against a sunrise, from your colored pages. Laminate them (or cover with clear contact paper) and use a dab of dish soap to adhere them to a window.
8. Empty Tomb Pop-Up Card
Design a special pop-up card for Easter greetings. Fold a piece of cardstock and create a simple pop-up mechanism inside. Cut out the empty tomb or an angel from your coloring page and attach it to the pop-up, adding the message “He Is Risen” when opened.
9. “New Life” Cross Bookmarks
Craft a meaningful set of bookmarks. Cut cross shapes from cardstock. Then, glue small cut-outs from your colored pages (e.g., a butterfly, a sunrise, or an empty tomb silhouette) onto the cross. Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon for a thoughtful gift.
10. He Is Risen Tabletop Stand-Ups
Create freestanding decorations for your table or mantle. Cut out figures of angels, Jesus, or the empty tomb from your colored pages. Mount them onto sturdy cardstock or popsicle sticks with glue, then add a small base of folded paper or clay so they stand upright.
