10 Craft Ideas to do With Pencil Coloring Pages
Once those finished pencil coloring pages start piling up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts are the perfect way to put your colorful masterpieces to fun and creative use.
1. Pencil Toppers
Cut out individual colored pencil designs from your pages. Glue each cutout onto a small piece of cardstock for rigidity, then attach a pipe cleaner or a small loop of paper to the back so it can slide onto the top of a real pencil. Personalize your writing tools with these fun, custom adornments!
2. Decorative Pencil Holder
Transform an old tin can or cardboard tube into a vibrant new pencil holder. Cut out various colored pencil images from your finished pages and glue them all around the outside of the container, overlapping or in a pattern. Seal with a coat of clear glue for durability and shine.
3. “Sharp Ideas” Bookmark
Glue a cut-out pencil shape from your coloring page onto a sturdy piece of construction paper or cardstock that's also cut into a pencil or ruler shape. Laminate it with clear contact paper or cover with clear tape for durability. Punch a hole at the top to add a colorful yarn tassel if desired.
4. Pencil Garland
Create a festive garland perfect for a classroom or study space. Cut out many different colored pencil illustrations from your finished pages. Punch two small holes near the top of each cutout and string them onto a long piece of yarn or ribbon, spacing them out evenly to create a cheerful banner.
5. “Pencil Power” Wall Art Collage
Design an inspiring piece of wall art for your desk or bulletin board. Gather several finished pencil coloring pages and cut out various pencils, erasers, and sharpeners. Arrange and glue these cutouts onto a larger sheet of poster board, adding a hand-written motivational quote about learning or creativity.
6. Pencil Stick Puppets
Bring your colorful pencils to life for storytelling adventures! Carefully cut out several different pencil characters from your coloring pages. Glue each cutout securely onto a craft stick or popsicle stick. Use your finished puppets to put on a show or create fun educational scenarios.
7. Pencil Match Game
Make a fun memory game using your finished pages. Cut out at least five pairs of identical pencil designs from your colored pages (e.g., two red pencils, two blue pencils). Glue each cutout onto a small, sturdy square of cardstock. Lay them face down and take turns flipping two over to find matching pairs!
8. Wearable Pencil Crown
Create a fun, festive crown perfect for a “back to school” celebration or just for play. Cut out many individual pencil shapes from your colored pages. Glue these cutouts all around a long strip of construction paper that fits around a child's head, securing it with tape or staples to form a wearable crown.
9. Pencil Desk Caddy Organizer
Transform a simple shoebox or cereal box into a handy desk organizer. Cut out various sized pencil images from your finished coloring pages and glue these all over the outside of the box to decorate it. Inside, use cardboard scraps to create small dividers for organizing pens, pencils, and erasers.
10. Pencil Art Mobile
Craft a charming mobile for a study nook or bedroom. Cut out pencils of varying sizes from several colored pages. Attach a piece of string or yarn to the top of each pencil. Tie these strings to two crossed popsicle sticks or a wire hanger, ensuring they hang at different lengths to create a delightful spinning display.
