5 Cute Ideas for Turning My Melody Coloring Pages into Crafts
Once your My Melody coloring pages are finished, don’t throw them away—transform them into adorable handmade crafts! These creative projects are perfect for bonding with your child while boosting their confidence, imagination, and fine motor skills. I love involving my daughter in these activities because they help her express herself and feel proud of her creations.
Below are five cute and easy DIY ideas you can make using My Melody printables.
1. Cute Bracelet
Girls will absolutely love creating wearable accessories! Friendship bracelets decorated with My Melody cutouts make charming and personalized gifts.
If you have an empty paper towel roll, cut a wide ring from it. Make a small slit so it can fit comfortably around the wrist. Trim the edges carefully. Choose a My Melody illustration and cut out a decorative strip matching the size of your bracelet.
You can experiment with different patterns, colors, and characters. If you already have a bracelet at home, simply glue the cutouts onto it to give it a fresh, stylish look. These DIY bracelets are budget-friendly, unique, and fun to wear.
To make them last longer, apply a clear protective finish. While they won’t survive heavy rain, they can last for years if sealed with an affordable acrylic spray.
2. 3D Doll
Turn your flat coloring pages into adorable 3D My Melody dolls! This project usually takes less than two hours and is incredibly fun.
You’ll need cotton balls, toothpicks, glue, and optional googly eyes. Popsicle sticks can also be useful. Color your chosen characters, cut them out, and attach them to toothpicks. Use cotton balls to give My Melody a fluffy, soft body.
For extra realism, you can add wiggle eyes. Once finished, display your doll in a frame or use it to create a mini 3D theater.
To make a theater scene, fold construction paper like a fan, glue the base to green paper, and attach the characters along the folds. This creates a layered, pop-up effect that brings the story to life.
3. Custom Centerpiece
Planning a themed birthday party? Create a beautiful My Melody centerpiece!
Color two pages. Fold one into a fan shape and glue the bottom to a thimble or small stand. Place it inside a shallow basket and decorate it with confetti, beads, or pom-poms. Carefully unfold the fan to create a stunning background.
From the second page, cut out a character, glue it onto cardboard, and trim the edges neatly. Place it in front of the fan to complete the centerpiece.
This craft is a bit more advanced, so I usually assist my daughter when she needs help. The final result always impresses guests!
4. Personalized Jewelry Box
My daughter treasures her little keepsakes and prefers a handmade box over any store-bought one. Since she loves My Melody coloring pages, we decided to decorate her jewelry box with her favorite characters.
We placed the cutouts between two sheets of wax paper and gently ironed them to laminate. Then we glued them onto the box walls for a bright and cheerful look.
You can also laminate an entire colored page and attach it to the sides of your box—just trim it to the correct size. This project is simple, affordable, and incredibly rewarding.
5. Cute Headband
This is one of our favorite wearable crafts! Buy a plain plastic headband—it saves time and ensures durability.
Cut out your favorite My Melody character, leaving about one inch of extra paper at the bottom. Glue it onto thick cardboard for support. Then use the extra paper strip to attach the figure securely to the headband.
For a tiara-like effect, use three characters: one larger centerpiece and two smaller ones on the sides. The result is an adorable, custom-made headpiece your child will love.
