Using Coloring Pages for Home Decor
Coloring pages are so versatile, you can use them for just about any type of home decor. From simple framed pieces to creative wall art, there are plenty of ways to use coloring pages to add color and personality to any room. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Home Decor Ideas
- Framed Coloring Pages – Start by selecting a few of your favorite coloring pages. Print them out, then color them with colored pencils, crayons, or markers. Then cut them out, and glue them to a piece of heavy backing paper. Put the finished pieces in a frame for a colorful piece of art.
- Colorful Mats – Create a colorful mat by tracing the outline of the frame onto the back of a coloring page. Cut it out and glue it to the back of the frame. Then cut a piece of fabric to fit the inside of the frame, and glue it over the coloring page.
- Wall Tiles – Cut out a few of your favorite coloring pages and glue them to small wooden tiles. Attach the tiles to the wall with adhesive strips, and use them to create a unique wall decoration.
- Borders and Wallpaper – Use coloring pages to create a unique border or wallpaper. Start by printing several pages of the same design. Cut them out and line them up in a pattern, then glue them to the wall with wallpaper paste.
- Wall Art – Create a unique wall art piece by cutting out several coloring pages and gluing them to a large canvas. Paint over the top of the pages to add an extra layer of color, then hang the finished piece on the wall.
- Wrapping Paper – Create your own wrapping paper by printing out several coloring pages and gluing them to a piece of wrapping paper. Cut out the individual pages, then use them to wrap gifts for a unique look.
