10 Craft Ideas to do With Jalapeño Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant coloring pages are complete, don't let them pile up! These easy, affordable crafts put your finished jalapeño masterpieces to use in fun and creative ways.
1. Jalapeño Popper Magnets
Cut out your colored jalapeños. Glue each one onto a small piece of craft foam or stiff cardboard. Add a small cotton ball or a dollop of white paint to represent cream cheese, then glue a small magnet to the back.
2. Spicy Garland Streamer
Cut out multiple colored jalapeño shapes. Punch a hole near the stem of each pepper. Thread them onto a long piece of yarn or string, alternating with small construction paper “flames” for a festive, fiery decoration.
3. “Hot Stuff” Door Hanger
Glue a finished jalapeño coloring page onto a piece of poster board. Cut the poster board into a fun door hanger shape, making sure to cut a circle for the doorknob. Write “Hot Stuff Inside!” or “Too Spicy!” on it with markers.
4. Jalapeño Garden Markers
Carefully cut out your colored jalapeño. For durability, laminate it with clear contact paper or clear packing tape. Glue the laminated jalapeño onto the top of a craft stick or popsicle stick, then use it to label herbs or plants in your indoor or outdoor garden.
5. Fiesta Flair Headband
Cut out several smaller jalapeño shapes from your coloring pages. Take a strip of construction paper, measure it to fit around your head, and secure it into a circle. Glue the cut-out jalapeños all around the headband to create a festive and fiery crown.
6. “Salsa Shake” Rattles
Cut out two identical jalapeño shapes. Glue them together along the edges, leaving a small opening. Fill the inside with a few dried beans or rice grains, then seal the opening. Decorate a popsicle stick as a handle and glue it to the bottom.
7. Jalapeño Recipe Card Decoration
Find a plain index card holder or a small cardboard box. Cut out various sizes of your colored jalapeños. Glue them decoratively onto the front and sides of the holder, creating a spicy new home for your favorite family recipes.
8. Speedy Spicy Paper Puppet
Cut out a large, bold jalapeño from your finished coloring page. Securely glue it onto a craft stick or an unsharpened pencil. You now have a fun stick puppet ready for imaginative play or a quick puppet show!
9. “Spice Level” Art Display
On a large sheet of poster board, draw a vertical “spice meter” with sections labeled “Mild,” “Medium,” “Hot,” and “Extra Hot!” Kids can glue their colored jalapeños onto the section that best describes how spicy they imagine their pepper to be, creating a collaborative art piece.
10. Jalapeño Coasters
Cut out your colored jalapeños. For extra durability, laminate them using clear contact paper or clear packing tape, trimming the excess. Glue each laminated jalapeño onto a piece of felt or cork for heat resistance, making unique drink coasters.
