Beyond the Book: Creative Ways to Display Your Neighborhood Coloring Pages

You’ve poured your heart and soul (and a whole lot of color!) into bringing your neighborhood to life with your Local Color coloring book. Now what? Don’t let those beautiful creations sit forgotten in a drawer! Your Local Color coloring pages are works of art in their own right, and they deserve to be seen and celebrated. Here are some creative and inspiring ways to display your finished masterpieces and show off your local pride:

1. Create a Gallery Wall

Transform a blank wall into a vibrant celebration of your community by creating a gallery wall featuring your framed Local Color pages.

• Mix and Match Frames: Use a variety of frame styles, sizes, and colors to add visual interest. Consider using frames that complement the colors in your artwork or reflect the architectural style of your neighborhood.
• Arrange Artfully: Play with different layouts to find an arrangement that suits your space. You can create a symmetrical grid for a clean, modern look, or opt for a more eclectic, asymmetrical arrangement for a bohemian vibe.
• Add Personal Touches: Incorporate other elements that reflect your neighborhood, such as vintage maps, postcards, or photos.

2. Craft Personalized Greeting Cards

Share your love of Local Color with friends and family by creating personalized greeting cards featuring your coloring pages.

• Cut and Paste: Carefully cut out sections of your colored pages and glue them onto blank card stock. Add a handwritten message for a personal touch.
• Scan and Print: Scan your finished pages and print them onto card stock to create a set of unique greeting cards. This is a great option if you want to make multiple copies of the same design.
• Frame It: For a special occasion, frame a small coloring page and give it as a unique and heartfelt gift.

3. Design Custom Home Décor

Take your Local Color creations beyond the page by transferring your designs onto fabric for custom home décor items.

• Tote Bags: Iron-on transfer paper makes it easy to create a custom tote bag featuring your favorite Local Color design. This is a stylish and eco-friendly way to show off your local pride while running errands.
• Pillow Covers: Transfer your designs onto fabric and sew them into pillow covers for a unique and personalized touch to your living room or bedroom.
• Wall Hangings: Stretch your colored pages onto canvas frames to create eye-catching wall hangings that will brighten up any room.

4. Create a Coloring Book Scrapbook

Document your coloring journey by creating a scrapbook featuring your finished Local Color pages.

• Add Captions: Write captions next to each page, noting the date you colored it, the colors you used, and any special memories or thoughts that came to mind while you were coloring.
• Include Photos: Add photos of the places you colored, or photos of yourself coloring with friends and family.
• Share Your Story: A coloring book scrapbook is a wonderful way to preserve your creative journey and share your love of Local Color with future generations.

5. Host a Coloring Party and Display Your Creations

Gather your friends and family for a Local Color coloring party and showcase your finished pages in a collaborative display.

• Create a Theme: Choose a theme for your party, such as "Spring in Our Neighborhood" or "Local Landmarks."
• Set Up a Display Area: Designate a wall or table where guests can display their finished pages.
• Vote for Favorites: Have guests vote for their favorite coloring pages in different categories, such as "Most Creative" or "Best Use of Color."
