Top 5 Crafts to Create with Garfield Coloring Pages
I often suggest to my kids that we make something interesting after finishing Garfield coloring pages. It shows them that they can recycle any item and create new products with their own hands.
Doorknob Hangers
These fun decorative items are perfect for a kids’ bedroom. Find Garfield coloring pages with different characters for each hanger and get ready to work. You will need to purchase construction paper to use as a base when creating your item. Outline the shape of the doorknob hanger. I prefer to draw a rectangular shape and add a hook on top to ensure we will be able to hang it easily. Choose the shape you want to utilize and put it aside.
Take the cat figure when your child completes a picture. Then, glue it onto the hanger you have created. Wait until the glue is dry. Embellish your hanger with various patterns to make it more eye-pleasing. This item will help your kids set boundaries. They will hang it on the door to show other family members that they want to recuperate when they want to be left alone and need some privacy. It will help them build healthy relationships in the future.
Cute Bookmarks
I love such projects, as my kids can complete them on their own. I typically resize Garfield coloring pages before printing them so that the figures are sufficiently small to fit a 4-by-8-inch rectangle. Sometimes, we create 10-inch-long bookmarks for larger books. Use construction paper or cardstock to make durable bookmarks. You can glue colored paper to them, decorate them with hand-drawn patterns, or glue stickers to their surface. Then, add the Garfield figure to them.
Youngsters will love these themed bookmarks. When a child starts reading longer books, they need to keep track of their progress and find the last page they read quickly. A bookmark allows them to make the reading process more convenient. You can punch a hole through the top of each bookmark and decorate it with a yarn tassel.
Unique Greeting Cards
The figures from Garfield coloring pages look great on all sorts of postcards. You can also glue them to birthday greeting cards or put them in your present before a baby shower. They are bright and instantly attract attention. Cut out the orange cat and glue it to the front of the card. Write your kind wishes on the other side and add some glitter. While greeting cards are quite affordable, you won’t find something truly unique at the store. It’s always better to create them by yourself to show your friends and relatives that you care about them.
My daughter has mastered the art of designing such greeting cards and gives them to all her relatives. Garfield looks fun and optimistic. People always smile when they see this unusual cat and read the wishes written by my child.
Storybooks
Help youngsters develop their storytelling abilities and suggest they complete Garfield coloring pages that can be used as illustrations for their future book about the adventures of this cat. They can use the whole page or cut out the characters they want to use. It will suffice to write a couple of sentences on each page. The main thing is to connect different scenes in an engaging way. Show children how to use transitions and change the plot unpredictably. They will discover the pleasure of weaving a story to fascinate their friends and relatives.
When the tale is ready, bind the pages together. Buy a special binding mechanism. You can use a special bar or a three-ring binder. With each completed book, stories will become more elaborate and interesting to read.
Wrapping Paper
When preparing gifts, it’s always better to use custom wrapping paper. Utilize characters from Garfield coloring pages to decorate the sheets. In addition, you can open the PDF on your device, select the shapes you want to use, and paste them onto a new file to create repeating patterns. Be sure to resize each pic to make it fit. The figures should cover the whole sheet. It will allow you to make your gift more stylish. Avoid enlarging an illustration and using it as it is, as it might be difficult to wrap it around your present in a nice way.
