7 Creative Ways to Use Your Christmas Dog Coloring Pages
Wondering what to do with your festive artwork after the coloring is done? Here are 7 fun and crafty ideas to turn these Christmas dogs into holiday decorations or thoughtful gifts.
1. Decorate a Dog Treat Jar
This makes a fantastic DIY gift for any dog owner. Color one of the smaller dog designs, cut it out carefully, and use double-sided tape to stick it onto a glass mason jar filled with dog biscuits. Add a red ribbon around the lid, and you have a personalized treat jar that looks adorable on the counter.
2. Create “Paw-some” Christmas Cards
Handmade cards are always cherished. Print the pages at 50% scale so they are smaller. Once colored, glue the festive pups onto folded red or green cardstock. Write a cute message inside like “Have a Paw-some Holiday” or “Yappy Holidays” to make friends and family smile.
3. Make Personalized Ornaments
Turn your favorite pups into decorations for the tree. After coloring, glue the page onto a piece of thin cardboard (like an empty cereal box) to make it sturdy. Cut out the dog shape, punch a hole at the top, and add a festive string. It’s a great way to include your love for dogs in your tree decor.
4. A Gift for Your Veterinarian or Groomer
Spread some holiday cheer to the people who take care of your pets! Have your child color a cheerful Christmas dog page and give it to your local vet, dog walker, or groomer. It’s a sweet, simple gesture that will likely end up displayed proudly in their office.
5. Festive Gift Tags for Pet Presents
Are you wrapping a gift for a dog lover (or for the dog itself)? Cut out the smaller details—like a puppy in a stocking or a bone with a bow—and turn them into unique gift tags. Punch a small hole, thread a ribbon through, and write the recipient’s name on the back.
6. Holiday Window Suncatchers
Brighten up your home by turning these pages into faux stained glass. Color the designs using markers (which work better than crayons for this) and lightly brush the back of the paper with a little vegetable oil to make it translucent. Tape them to a sunny window and watch the light shine through your festive dogs.
7. Design a “Welcome Santa” Sign
Leave a special note for Santa alongside the milk and cookies! Color a happy Christmas dog page and write a note on it saying “Santa, please stop here!” or “We have good dogs here!” It adds a fun, family-friendly touch to your Christmas Eve traditions.
