Printable coloring pages can be so much better than purchasing a printed coloring book. If you aren’t happy with the way the page turned out, you can just print a new copy and color it again. You can also use these surfing beach Santa coloring pages as DIY Christmas cards! For professional-feeling coloring pages that are fun to color, make sure to use a nicer paper (not whatever cheap feeling paper is in the printer at work). You can see side-by-side companions of the best papers for printables in this post. It focuses on planner printables, but papers that are good for colorful printouts are also good for coloring on. I use and recommend HP 32# paper for coloring pages. It’s thicker and brighter than “regular” copy paper, which helps keep markers from feathering. The paper also feels smoother, so pencils and crayons glide and color smoothly on it. For a glittery Christmas coloring experience, color these pages with gel pens. Even if you don’t want to use all your ink coloring the whole page, at least add some sparkly accents! How about some twinkle on the sand with a silver pen? Or sparkly red reindeer noses? Check out this post for the best gel pens for coloring, including a great budget pick. The shortversion is that the pens shown below are the best overall and best budget pick:
How to make your own beachy Christmas cards
It’s fun, easy, and practically free to print your own beachy Christmas cards using coloring pages. They’re a bargain and fun for adults and children. The fine tip makes them better than many other markers for coloring details. Because there are dozens of shades, they’re great for colorful Christmas pages.
To turn these coloring pages into cards or post cards, simply print multi-up. For post cards, print 4 to a page, then cut them apart with a paper trimmer. The coloring pages are in portrait mode, so mach sure you select “portrait” when you print. The screenshot below if from Acrobat Reader, which is free to download if you don’t have it already: For a large, fold over card, print using the “booklet” feature in Acrobat Reader. Select the “print front only” option, as shown, to make sure the card folds correctly. You may also need to select the specific page you want in the “pages to print” area.
