I enjoy coloring now as an adult as much as I did as a kid. All three of my children thought it was a fun way for us to spend quality time together being creative.

How do you make a coloring book at home?

Thanks to technology, it’s really not difficult to make your own coloring book, even if you’re not talented at drawing.

  • You can draw shapes and images to create your own coloring pages. Use a black pen or marker to make the outline of the image. You can draw the image in pencil first and then out line it in black marker. Simple, bold designs are easiest to create.
    • Once you create your coloring page, scan it to keep as a printable pdf so that you can print and color the image over and over again.
  • You can print out free pdfs (like the ones below) to make coloring pages.
  • Whether you make your own cool coloring pages or use free printable pages, you can print them out on your own printer or take them to a print shop.
  • While you can print the coloring page images out on regular copy paper, it is better to use slightly heavier cardstock paper for a better coloring experience.
  • Print as many different coloring sheets as you’d like. Take them to a copy shop to be bound or bind them yourself at home:

How do I access the printables?

Fill in the form above. When you submit the form, you will immediately be sent an email from Organized 31 with a link to the VIP Resources Library, including detailed instructions on how to access your printables. If you can’t find the welcome email after 3-4 minutes, check your spam folder. If you have any difficulty, you can email me and I’ll help you resolved any problems.

How do I print the pdf file?

The pdf usually opens right up when you click on the link in the VIP Resources Library. When that happens, simply right click on the pdf and either print or save the document to your device.

If the pdf does not automatically open for you, you’ll most likely find it in your computer’s Downloads folder. You can also select “Downloads” in your browser menu to see a list of your downloads, then select “Show in folder” below the file name to see where it is located on your computer.

How can I use the printables (what restrictions are there on use)?

You can print these printable pdf files as many times as you’d like for your personal or classroom use. Please do not share the files with family, friends or coworkers. Please do share the link to this post so they can access their own copy of the printables. All printables are copyrighted.
