It’s easy to forget the other things you can do with papercraft supplies. It’s easy to get stuck on card-making or scrapbooking, but these aren’t the only things you can do.

I’ve made little colouring books before – I have a lovely die set from Miss P Loves for a little journal which makes an excellent colouring book, and I’ve done them the old-fashioned way with stitched spines – but sometimes, what you need is a little something to carry in your handbag with a tiny pack of crayons, not an entire Activity Bag.

Enter: the Keyring Colouring Book, which I found on YouTube, from Pootles Papercraft. Definitely a Why Didn’t I Think Of That? sort of idea.

Dead easy, too.

Pick a reasonably sized punch or shape-die – I used a 2 & 3/8” circular punch – and cut out however many pieces from your cardstock. I did about half a dozen.

Find image stamps which fit, and have at it with the ink.

Then make a little hole somewhere suitable on each piece, and string them together. I didn’t have any of the suggested keyrings, but pretty baker’s twine with silver thread worked just as well.

And, ta-da! One keyring colouring book for easy entertaining with little ones. And you probably have what you need in your stash, which is even better for a project.

Anyway: a Repeat Project, I think. I will have to try some other shapes and sizes too, for other stamp selections.
