Fun Crafts to Do with September Coloring Pages
September marks the transition from summer to fall, with leaves changing colors and crisp autumn air filling our days. This is the perfect season to be inspired for creativity, and September coloring pages are the ideal way to capture the essence of this season. Once you've finished coloring, don't just tuck those pages away! Here are four fun crafts you can try with your finished sheets.
1. Colorful Leaf Garland
For this project, you’ll need your completed coloring pages featuring autumn leaves, scissors, a hole punch, twine or string, and tape. After coloring the leaf illustrations, cut them out carefully, ensuring you leave a small border around each leaf. Punch a small hole near the top of each leaf, and string them onto a long piece of twine. Once all the leaves are threaded, space them out evenly and secure them with a bit of tape on the back. Hang your new garland over a fireplace, in a window, or along a wall for a lovely view.
2. September-Themed Collage
Capture the mood of September with a personalized collage. For this craft, gather your completed pages, a large piece of cardstock or poster board, glue, scissors, and additional embellishments like glitter, stickers, or small leaves. Cut out different shapes from your coloring pages, focusing on elements like pumpkins, apples, or fall foliage. Arrange the cutouts on your poster board, creating a layered effect by overlapping some pieces. Once you’re happy with the layout, glue everything down and add any extra decorative elements. This collage can be framed as a unique piece of DIY art.
3. Make Autumn Lanterns
To bring a warm, cozy glow to your home, use your coloring pages to create September-themed lanterns. You'll need finished coloring pages, glass jars, scissors, Mod Podge (or clear-drying glue), and a small paintbrush. Cut your coloring sheets to fit around the jars, ensuring the designs you want to feature are visible. Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the jar’s surface, carefully attach the coloring page cutouts, and apply another coat of Mod Podge over the top to seal it. Once the glue dries, place a small LED candle inside the jar. When lit, your lantern will cast a soft autumn glow, perfect for cozy evenings.
4. Seasonal Coasters
Turn your coloring sheets into a practical and decorative item with these DIY coasters. You’ll need finished coloring pages, cork coasters or plain ceramic tiles, scissors, Mod Podge, and a paintbrush. Cut out pieces of your coloring pages to fit the size of your coaster bases. Apply a layer of Mod Podge onto the coaster, then press the colored paper onto the surface. Smooth out any air bubbles and coat the top with another layer of Mod Podge. Let it dry completely before using. These coasters make lovely fall decor for your home or can be given as a unique handmade gift.
