6 Creative Crafts You Can Make With Mardi Gras Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done! Your finished pages can be the starting point for some truly amazing crafts. Here are a few clever ideas to give your colorful creations a new life and keep the Mardi Gras spirit going.
1. DIY Masquerade Masks
What’s a Mardi Gras celebration without a mask? This is a classic and super fun craft for all ages.
Choose one of the mask pages, like the Venetian, butterfly, or jester mask. Color it in with bright, bold purples, greens, and golds.
Once it’s decorated, carefully cut it out. You can even add glitter or feathers for some extra sparkle!
Then, just glue a craft stick to one side to hold it, or punch holes on the sides and tie on a ribbon or elastic string.
2. Festive Party Garland
You can easily create your own decorations with your finished coloring pages. A festive garland is a perfect way to decorate any room.
Have your kids color several pages, focusing on smaller items like fleurs-de-lis, crowns, medallions, and jester hats.
Carefully cut out each of the colored shapes. Then, you can punch a hole in the top of each one and thread them onto a long piece of ribbon or string.
Hang your custom garland on a wall or over a doorway for an instant party atmosphere that you made yourself.
3. King Cake Box
This is a fun twist on the King Cake tradition. Instead of a real cake, you can create a decorative box to hold a small surprise.
Find an old small box, like a jewelry or tissue box. Then, color the King Cake coloring page and glue it onto the outside of the box to cover it.
You can decorate it further with glitter glue to mimic the colorful sugar on top. It’s a great way to get creative.
Hide a small toy or a treat inside, and it becomes a wonderful keepsake box or a fun way to present a small gift.
4. Mardi Gras Parade Diorama
Bring the excitement of a New Orleans parade right into your home with a cool 3D scene. All you need is a shoebox!
First, color one of the street party or parade float pages to use as the background inside the box.
Then, color and cut out different characters and objects, like jesters, musicians, and parade floats from other pages.
Leave a small tab of paper at the bottom of each cutout, fold it back, and glue them inside the box to create a lively, layered parade scene.
5. Decorative Drink Coasters
This is a fun and practical craft that adds a touch of Mardi Gras to your home decor. It’s also a great handmade gift idea!
You’ll need some plain ceramic tiles, which are inexpensive at craft stores. Find a design you like, such as the Mardi Gras mandala or a medallion.
Color the design and cut it into a square that fits the tile. Use a sealant like Mod Podge to glue the paper to the tile.
Apply a few more coats over the top to make it waterproof. Now you have a custom coaster ready for any festive drink.
6. Personalized Gift Bags
Add a personal, handmade touch to your party favors or gifts with this simple but effective idea.
Start with some plain paper gift bags. Let your kids pick their favorite Mardi Gras illustrations to color.
They can color in a whole scene or individual characters like the charming cat or the whimsical fairy.
Once colored, carefully cut out the pictures and glue them onto the front of the bags. It’s an easy way to make any gift feel extra special.
We hope you have a fantastic time bringing these vibrant Mardi Gras coloring pages to life with your own creative flair!
