Fun Crafts to do with Rat Coloring Pages
Coloring pages are a fantastic way to explore creativity, and once they're completed, they can be transformed into amazing crafts. Here are some ideas you can use to repurpose your rat-themed coloring pages.
1. Make Character Puppets
Transform your rat coloring pages into adorable puppets and bring your stories to life. For this project, you'll need your colored rat pages, scissors, craft sticks (like popsicle sticks), glue, and optional embellishments like googly eyes or felt. Begin by carefully cutting out the rat characters from your sheets. If your rats are detailed, you might want to reinforce them by gluing the cutouts onto a piece of cardstock before cutting them out again. Attach a craft stick to the back of each rat using glue, ensuring it's firmly in place. For more details, you can stick on googly eyes or add small felt pieces for ears or tails. Once the glue has dried, you are ready to make the coolest puppet show.
2. Rat-Themed Magnets
Forget your holiday magnets and make your own! Gather your colored pages, scissors, adhesive magnet sheets (available at craft stores), and optional embellishments like glitter or stickers. Start by cutting out your favorite rat designs or shapes from your coloring pages. Peel off the backing from the adhesive magnet sheets and press your cutouts onto the sticky side, ensuring they are firmly attached. Then, carefully trim away any excess magnet around the edges of your design. For extra flair, you can add glitter or stickers to your rats before applying the magnet backing. Now you have unique magnets that can hold notes, photos, or just make your fridge more beautiful.
3. Craft Custom Bookmarks
Turn your colored rat pages into unique bookmarks. To start, you will need your finished coloring page, a pair of scissors, a ruler, glue, and a sheet of sturdy cardstock. Cut out rectangular sections of your coloring page, focusing on the parts with the most appealing rat designs. Measure and cut matching rectangles from the cardstock. Glue the coloring page cutouts onto the cardstock, ensuring that the edges align perfectly. For added durability, consider laminating the bookmark or covering it with clear adhesive film. Punch a hole at the top and thread through a piece of ribbon or twine for a finishing touch.
