For professional-feeling coloring pages that are fun to color, make sure to use a nicer paper. 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 snow with a silver pen? Or sparkly red candy canes? 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: In my experience, the best budget markers for coloring Crayola Supertips. 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. Some of the best colored pencils are Prismacolors. Even the more budget lines of Prismacolor colored pencils are softer and creamier than brands like Crayola.
How to turn coloring pages into Christmas cards
It’s fun, easy, and practically free to print your own Christmas cards using coloring 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.
