You’ll start by coloring the Alebrije designs from the coloring page using your favorite colors. We encourage the use of vibrant colors as Alebrijes are known for their bright and imaginative designs.
Once you’re done coloring, you’ll cut the colored detail out of the page. If you want your puppets to be more sturdy, you can glue the shapes onto a piece of cardboard or thick paper before cutting them out again.
This step will make the puppets durable, especially small children can hold them. You can create multiple puppets to create a diverse cast of characters as shown below.
Design A Birthday Card

If using a piece of cardboard, fold it in half to create a card. You will then glue the cutouts onto the front of the card. According to the illustration below, paste the Alebrijes design in the center of the card. On the back of the card, you will write your birthday wishes with a pen or marker.
Create A Wall Painting
Do you want to transform your space with imaginative designs? Below are very simple step-by-step instructions. First of all, you will choose to print alebrijes designs and use bright colors to make them stand out.
We encourage you to choose thick, quality printing paper to make the picture clearer. You might consider framing the painting after you’ve finished coloring it. For added durability and a finished look, you can apply a layer of clear adhesive to the entire surface. This will protect the color and give your painting a glossy finish.
Decorate Alebrije Shadow Boxes
To implement this idea, you will need a wooden box or square cardboard box. Like other craft projects, you start by coloring the alebrijes designs.
Bright, vibrant colors are characteristic of alebrijes, so feel free to get creative with your color palette. Once you’re done coloring, cut out the colored designs.
If your box has a plain background, you can cover it with decorative paper or fabric to add texture. Before gluing, arrange the alebrijes inside the box. Once you are satisfied with the layout, you will use tape to attach the designs inside like the image below.
Design Stickers
Stickers with Alebrijes designs are popular in the market. However, you can create your own designs using available materials at no cost.
If you use full-sheet adhesive paper, arrange multiple alebrijes to maximize paper usage. Leave a gap between the designs for easy cutting.
After coloring the alebrijes designs, you will cut them out. If you use plain paper, you’ll need to add double-sided tape to the back of each sticker. Stickers can be used to stick on laptops, notebooks or any surface.
Parents can participate in coloring with their children, creating beautiful memories and bonding family affection. Sharing coloring works on social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest helps children be proud of their achievements, while learning and exchanging with friends with similar interests.
