20 Creative Craft Ideas To Do With Christmas Coloring Pages
1. Christmas Window Suncatchers
Use sheet protectors or clear plastic and colorful tissue paper to transform coloring pages of snowflakes, stockings, or candy canes into festive window art. After your child colors the design, cut it out and glue tissue paper inside the lines. Let it dry, then trim and attach a ribbon loop. Hang in a sunny window to add seasonal charm and filter vibrant light through the colors.
2. Character Play Masks
Choose your favorite Christmas characters—like Santa, elves, or reindeer—from the coloring pages. After coloring and carefully cutting them out, attach craft sticks to the back with tape or glue. These make fantastic pretend-play masks for holiday storytelling or festive photo ops. Kids will enjoy acting out favorite holiday scenes using their personalized creations.
3. Mini Christmas Ornaments
Shrink plastic sheets turn simple drawings into professional-looking ornaments. Have kids color a design, cut it to shape, punch a hole, then bake according to instructions. Once cooled, tie a ribbon through the hole, and you’ve got lightweight holiday decorations ready for your tree. These keepsakes make lovely gifts for family and friends.
4. Nativity Mini Books
Gather nativity-themed pages and invite children to color and caption each scene with a few words. Punch holes along one side and bind using ribbon or yarn. The result is a compact storybook that tells the Christmas narrative from page to page. These little books are perfect for Sunday school or family story reading.
5. Textured Stocking Art
Lift plain stocking outlines by adding glitter glue, cotton balls, buttons, or pom-poms. After children color the stocking design, let them experiment with layering and textures. Encourage mixing and matching materials to personalize each piece. This tactile craft brings cozy flair to holiday décor.
6. Party Bunting Decorations
Turn colored snowflakes, mittens, gingerbread men, or holly leaves into festive bunting. After coloring, cut out shapes and punch holes at the top corners. Thread ribbon or twine through and hang them across doorways, mantels, or ceilings. It’s a charming and budget-friendly way to decorate for holiday gatherings.
7. Sparkly Paper Wreaths
Use wreath coloring pages as templates—color them, cut them out, and cover with glitter glue or sequins. Older kids can fill every branch with sparkle; younger ones may prefer bold outlines. Once dry, hang on doors, mirrors, or windows for a delightful seasonal accent. Each wreath shines with homemade magic.
8. Holiday Greeting Cards
Resize favorite designs to fit card stock, fold to create cards, and let kids color them. Add handwritten messages inside, and they become personalized holiday greetings. These make great gifts—or packaging smart cards for donations. Cute, heartfelt, and totally unique!
9. Festive Bookmarks
Ideal for December reading, cut out small Christmas designs and mount them onto cardstock. Punch a hole at the top and tie with ribbon or yarn. These charming bookmarks feature colored characters like elves, gingerbread men, or candy canes. A practical craft that gets kids excited to read.
10. “Dear Santa” Stationery
Choose coloring pages with space around the margins. Have kids color the border or corner and write their letter to Santa right on the page. It’s a creative twist on traditional stationery that doubles as a keepsake. Bonus: the decorated page makes a festive craft in itself.
11. Tabletop Centerpieces
Select bold designs like reindeer, trees, or snowmen. After coloring, reinforce them by mounting on cardboard and gluing a toilet roll or folded paper stand on the back. Arrange multiple figures down the table runner to create a charming holiday display. These centerpieces are easy, inexpensive, and adorable.
12. 3D Stand-Up Trees
Use tree illustrations for a free-standing decoration. Color the tree, cut it out, and then mount on cardstock. Cut slits along the trunk and base arch, slide them together to form a self-standing tree. Decorate with pom-pom “ornaments” or sequins for added flair.
13. Holiday Dioramas
Turn a small box into a winter scene by coloring and cutting out nativity, sleigh, or fireplace page elements. Have kids glue them inside the box, folding tabs to stand them upright. Use cotton for snow and stickers for flair. These mini 3D dioramas make charming mantle or shelf décor.
14. Pet Holiday Tees
For dog lovers, transfer colored holiday designs onto iron-on vinyl. Cut out and apply to pet bandanas or tees using a heat press or iron. Festive Christmas-themed pet apparel adds a festive dash—and makes for great Instagram moments.
15. Christmas Crowns for Kids
Let kids pick Santa, elf, or nutcracker designs to color and cut out. Attach them to paper loops sized to fit their heads. These crowns are perfect for holiday parties or family photo ops. Fun, silly, and instantly festive!
16. Puffy-Paint Window Clings
Trace outlines of characters onto clear contact paper using puffy paint. Let dry fully, then peel and stick to windows. Use holiday-themed pages like snowflakes or mittens for vibrant seasonal quotes. They’ll brighten your windows with festive cheer.
17. Mosaic Art Panels
Cut coloring pages into squares and use them to fill in outlines on cardboard or canvas. Kids can practice placement and color harmony, matching pieces creatively. The result is a colorful, textured mosaic that’s perfect for framing or hanging.
18. Decorative Serving Trays
Buy inexpensive wood or plastic trays and let kids choose a design to color and glue inside. Seal with Mod Podge or clear varnish to protect the surface. The trays become holiday-ready accents—great for serving treats or as decorative pieces.
19. Classroom Stocking Keepsakes
Perfect for educators: each child colors a stocking page, mounts it to construction paper, staples three sides, and leaves the top open. Punch a hole corner and hang their own decoration from their desk or coat hook. On holiday morning, tuck in small treats for a personalized gift.
20. Fluffy Snowman Craft
Select a snowman coloring page and have kids glue crystals, cotton balls, or buttons for texture. Layer materials to mimic snow and create dimension. The finished piece doubles as a festive collage or cheerful greeting card. Soft, snowy, and perfect for holiday fun.
