Top 5 Crafts with Hello Kitty Coloring Pages
After finishing working on Hello Kitty coloring pages, I typically engage my kids in simple projects that allow them to master the art of creating lovely DIY objects. It enables us to spend more time together and helps us discover the joy of artistic pursuits.
DIY Magnets
If you enjoy decorating your house, you can add bright accents to your interior by creating magnets with paper cut-outs. After completing Hello Kitty coloring pages, upcycle them to produce tiny art pieces. This idea is perfect for those who own a magnetic refrigerator and want to display their kids’ pictures. Cute magnets with Hello Kitty and her sister Mimmy will appeal to those who often need to put little sweet mementos on the refrigerator door.
Cut out a paper figure from the coloring sheet your kid likes most and use adhesive to attach it to a simple mat board. You may also use double-sided tape instead of glue. Attach a button magnet to the other side and choose the best place to showcase your kids’ creation. My daughter was extremely proud when we displayed her work for everyone to see.
Kawaii Postcards
Another popular use for Hello Kitty coloring pages is to turn them into greeting cards. This DIY product can become a personalized gift for your child’s friends, teachers, or relatives. My kids used Easter-themed pics to send a lovely postcard to their grandmother. It depicted Hello Kitty with fun bunny ears and Easter eggs in the background. When working on such handmade gifts, you can follow USPS specifications or use a custom size if you aren’t going to post them.
There are different ways to create such a postcard. You can use cardstock or watercolor paper and glue paper cut-outs to them, or print a coloring sheet in a custom format and then fold it so that a picture is on the outside. If you opt for the first method, use scissors and a ruler to cut cardstock to the desired size.
Decorated Slippers
As my daughter has pink open-heeled slippers she adores, we decided to decorate with cut-outs from Hello Kitty coloring pages. This idea will appeal to those who want to create a simple but practical project and do not have much free time. Start by cutting characters and other details from a sheet of paper. Then, use fabric Mod Podge sealer to attach the cut-outs to the slippers. It’s better to seal the edges around the cutouts to protect them from wear. I also apply a final coat layer of Mod Podge to ensure the paper won’t dampen.
Your kids will need to work under your supervision on this project. They will be thrilled to choose their favorite illustrations. You can put the same image on each slipper or opt for different pics that complement each other. After finishing working on the project, wait until Mod Podge dries completely.
DIY Bookmarks
If your kids like reading fairy tales or have their favorite bedtime story, use Hello Kitty coloring pages to make handy bookmarks with fun and relatable characters. My kids decorate such bookmarks with paper cut-outs and use markers to draw doodles, shapes, and patterns. Use ribbon to connect two paper strips or create an Origami corner bookmark. My daughter presented me with a bookmark with “Love You” written on it. If your kids write well, they can add a quote or just write their name on a bookmark.
Rectangular-shaped bookmarks are easier to create. I use cardstock and mark the dimensions with a pencil. Then, my kids cut along the lines and glue various tiny pictures to them. Such objects are brightly colored and look extremely cute. Moreover, you won’t spend more than 30 minutes on such a project.
DIY Keychain
To create this accessory, you will need only paper cut-outs from Hello Kitty coloring pages and some resin. Your kid will be thrilled to create a functional piece that they will be able to take with them anywhere. Such a keychain can become a thoughtful gift. You will need to use a styrofoam board, scissors, chain, glue, key rings, metal rings, and a needle. Draw a circle on the board and cut it out. Then, cut out any element you want to glue to it. Cover it with a resin layer. Make a hole in the top part, and attach the key ring.
