5 Fun DIY Projects Using Finished January Coloring Pages
Once everyone finishes coloring, the fun does not have to stop with a stack of loose pages. Here are some simple, hands-on ideas to turn January art into decorations and keepsakes that feel special all month long.
1. New Year Goal Garland
Have kids color January pages that include calendars, fireworks, or stars, then cut them into wide strips. On each strip, write a small goal for the month, like reading more or helping at home.
Glue or tape the strips onto a long ribbon or string, spacing them out across the length. Hang the garland over a desk, doorway, or bulletin board as a daily reminder of those fresh January intentions.
2. Winter Window Gallery
Choose pages with snowflakes, mittens, and snowy landscapes, and color them in cool blues, purples, and soft greys. We like to add one bright color so the designs pop on gloomy days.
Trim the finished sheets to fit your windows and tape them using washi tape or painter’s tape. When sunlight shines through, the colors glow a bit and turn your January windows into a simple seasonal gallery.
3. January Gratitude Journal Cover
Print a January calendar or winter scene and color it slowly while thinking of small things you appreciate. Keep the palette simple, so the page feels calm and not too busy.
Glue the finished sheet onto the front of a notebook or composition book. Use the journal to jot down one thing each day that went well, giving January a softer, more reflective rhythm.
4. Snowy Party Placemats
For a family dinner or a winter birthday, print January pages on slightly thicker paper. Have everyone color their own design, using similar colors so the table feels coordinated.
Lamination makes the placemats last, but clear contact paper works too. After covering both sides, you have wipeable mats that protect the table and show off each person’s January artwork.
5. Cozy Bookmark Set
Pick pages with mugs, books, or quiet winter scenes, then color only the parts you plan to turn into bookmarks. Cut them into long rectangles, making sure the main design sits near the top.
If you can, laminate the strips or glue them onto cardstock for strength. Punch a small hole at the top, add a piece of yarn or ribbon, and you have a set of bookmarks ready for winter reading nights.
We hope these ideas spark new ways to enjoy your January coloring pages long after the crayons are put away.
