Display Tips
You can show off your completed puppy coloring pages by using some creative display ideas:
- Frames: Framing your artwork gives it a polished, professional look and helps protect it from damage.
- Bulletin boards: A bulletin board is a versatile option for displaying multiple coloring pages. It allows you to switch pages easily, making it simple to create a rotating display of your favorite pages.
- Hang it up: You can use small clothespins or clips to hang your puppy coloring pages from a string or ribbon.
Decorated Puppy Page Frames
You can treasure your favorite colored puppy pages by crafting Decorated Puppy Page Frames.
Choose a frame that will complement your puppy page. (You can either purchase a simple frame or create one from cardboard.)
Next, add decorations to the frame. Some materials you can use to embellish your frame are:
- Acrylic paint or patterned paper
- Washi tape
- Stickers, buttons, or sequins
- Ribbon, lace, or fabric scraps
You can insert your puppy coloring page and proudly display your artwork on a wall, desk, or shelf!
Puppy-Themed Greeting Cards
You can re-purpose your puppy coloring pages into heartwarming Puppy-Themed Greeting Cards for all occasions.
Select a coloring page you like from the options above.
When printing, choose the correct size and select the ‘Fit’ option to ensure it will fit on a card.
One of the easy ways to create a small greeting card would be to open one PDF file in Acrobat Reader, click Print, and then under ‘Page Sizing and Handling’ select ‘Multiple’. This will give you approximately the size of a small greeting card.
You may need to experiment with the scale and layout options to approximate the size of a regular greeting card, depending on your printer model and the software you use to print it.
Carefully cut it to size.
Once your main image is ready, design the rest of the card with elements such as:
- Stamped messages or handwritten notes
- Patterned paper or cardstock layers
- Ribbons, baker’s twine, or string for added texture
