While very
meditative to do, if you like to color you end up with a lot of lovely paper. Wondering
what to do with it? Try the following:
• Make a frame from
magnetic stripping and “hang” your most recent drawing on the refrigerator door
• Use it as gift wrap
and/or make a paper bow.
• Print your
design on card stock so that once you have finished coloring it, you can easily
cut it up into bookmarks, postcards, or note cards. If you use a coloring book,
glue the page to card stock and cut as desired. If you want an official looking
postcard, download a postcard template.
• Print your design
onto labels-Avery makes ones that are a full-page size. Once you have finished
coloring, peel off the label and adhere to tag or foam board. Coat with Modge
Podge and then cut with an Exacta knife These can be turned into earrings, the
cover of a book, or other types of jewelry. Use this same technique, peeling
and sticking onto a journal.
• Create a plate
using a colored mandala and a glass plate.
• Decoupage an inexpensive piece of furniture with coloring paper. Make Your Mark! has good
instructions on how to do this. You can literally color your coffee table while
watching TV.
• Cut and glue onto
tile or bamboo for coasters. This is a good tutoriall on making tile coasters
that wont yellow.
• Use as you
would colored or scrap booking paper to make greeting cards, gift tags, name tags,
ornaments, origami, book marks and other craft projects.
