Make Mini Art with Coloring Pages

If you have been using a lot of coloring pages since staying home, Jen Goode is back this month with a tutorial on how to make mini art. A fun project to do with those coloring pages!

Repurpose your finished coloring pages into mini art pieces. You can use your original colored designs or make a copy, resize or even adjust the color to create pretty little decor pieces for gifts or your home. In just a few minutes, you can turn your relaxing coloring into something to appreciate every day, I’ll show you how!

Create Mini Art Design with your Coloring Pages

This is really a super quick little craft. Get creative and use one coloring page to make multiple mini art pieces as a set. Use your camera phone to add filters and extra accents for a really unique piece.

Materials

Coloring page – I’m using a flower garden coloring page I designed.
Favorite coloring supplies – I used watercolor paints for this one
Scissors
Mini photo frame
Optionally, a camera and printer

Tip: I like to use copies of my art, instead of the original so I can reuse the copies over and over while keep the original as I first colored it.

Instructions

Color your printed coloring page however you’d like. I used one of my own flower coloring pages and basic watercolor paints (and of course, a paintbrush). If painting, allow to dry. Note: if you are using a page from a book, carefully remove the page before painting.

Now, you can either cut out the art to fit your frame and you’re finished right here.

Or resize your art by taking a photo and printing the art with your printer. You can adjust the colors, resize a section of your art or even add a filter. My favorite app for this is Pic Play Post.

And that’s it! If you don’t even want to color your own art, I have a printable you can use. Just head to my blog to grab the coloring page or finished flower art printable. Happy Creating!
