10 Craft Ideas to do With Peppermints Coloring Pages
Once your budding artists have filled those pages with vibrant hues, don't let those beautiful peppermints sit in a pile! These easy and affordable crafts are the perfect way to bring their colorful creations to life.
1. Peppermint Swirl Garland
Cut out several finished peppermint designs from the coloring pages. Punch a hole near the top of each peppermint. String them together using red and white baker's twine or yarn, alternating designs for a festive, sweet garland to adorn a wall or mantel.
2. Whirlwind Peppermint Pinwheel
Glue a colored peppermint cutout onto a square piece of thin cardboard. Carefully make diagonal cuts from each corner towards the center of the square, stopping about half an inch from the middle. Bring alternating points to the center and secure with a thumbtack through the middle into a popsicle stick to create a spinning peppermint toy.
3. Minty Fresh Coasters
Cut out perfectly circular peppermints from the colored pages. Glue each peppermint onto a slightly larger circle of felt or cork for a sturdy base. For durability, cover the top with clear contact paper or a layer of Mod Podge, creating charming, peppermint-themed coasters for drinks.
4. Oversized Peppermint Wall Art
Choose your favorite full-page colored peppermint design. Glue it onto a contrasting piece of poster board, leaving a small border. Carefully cut out the peppermint shape with its poster board backing, then punch a hole at the top. Hang with a colorful ribbon for a bold and sweet statement piece.
5. Aromatic Peppermint Sachets
Cut out two identical peppermint circles from your colored pages. Apply glue along the edges of one circle, leaving a small opening at the top. Place the second circle on top and press firmly. Once dry, fill the sachet with cotton balls lightly sprayed with peppermint essential oil or dried mint leaves, then seal the opening. Place in drawers for a minty scent!
6. Sweet Swirl Wreath
Cut out numerous peppermint shapes of varying sizes from your coloring pages. Using a cardboard ring (cut from a cereal box) as your base, glue the peppermints onto it, overlapping them slightly, until the entire ring is covered. Add a large red or white bow at the top for a cheerful, candy-inspired wreath.
7. Peppermint Story Puppets
Carefully cut out individual peppermint shapes from your finished coloring pages. Glue each cutout to the end of a craft stick or pipe cleaner. Use your new peppermint puppets to tell sweet stories, act out scenes, or simply display them in a jar for a decorative touch.
8. Window Swirl Suncatchers
Cut out the vibrant swirl patterns or entire peppermints from your colored pages. Attach them onto a piece of clear contact paper or cellophane. You can add a border with construction paper strips before hanging them in a sunny window, allowing the light to shine through and highlight their “candy” colors.
9. Hot Cocoa Peppermint Stirrers
Cut out small, individual peppermint circles from the coloring pages. To make them durable, cover each side with clear packing tape or laminate them if you have access to a laminator. Glue or securely attach each mini peppermint to the end of a red or white pipe cleaner to create fun, non-edible stirrers for pretend hot cocoa.
10. Peppermint Party Crowns
Cut out several colored peppermint designs in various sizes. Take a strip of construction paper or cardstock long enough to fit around a child's head, and glue the peppermints along the length of the strip. Secure the ends of the strip with tape or staples to create a festive and “minty” party crown.
