Coloring book pages ideas?

you could cut them out, matte on colored paper, and then frame them to be art - i'm sure if you got some really cute ones you could sell for baby shower gifts or decorating kids rooms could also decorate boxes, photoframes, furniture, kitchen cabinets, you name it... sounds neat, you'll have to show us once you've finished!

Hi Sassy If your like me and not too good at drawing myself colouring books are fun. What you could do if the designs are not too difficult, you could cut them out after you have coloured them. Then go to your local craft shop and buy some nice background papers to which you could mount them. Which then you could transfer all of this in to Cheap frames which you could decorate yourself. To jazz them up a little. You could then quite easily sell them to friends and family. I make handmade cards and i have parties and invite friends and family over (make sure they bring lots of money) it's really nice as it's an excuse for you too see friends etc and also to make some money on the side. I don't make huge amounts of money just enough to be able to make more cards. Hope this is of some help. Happy New Year

If you draw your own pictures and then colour them in, you could sell them(like you said) but if you colour in pictures drawn by someone else you won't be able to sell them because they will be under copyright. Have you got any young cousins or family that like them, because some children like to decorate their bedrooms with pictures and that would be a useful idea. You could colour them in and then scan them onto a computer and alter them in different ways to make them all look different and it could be an imaginative way to create different styles of pictures. ~Joeys wife

Well you already heard about the copyright problem but if you can draw your own you could do entire bedroom sets with or at least based on the drawings if you're handy with other crafts also. The pictures could be transfered onto fabric for quilts/comforters, pillow cases and curtains, decoupaged onto furniture pieces (desks, chairs, headboards) and lamp shades, used as wallpaper just as they are...put up with wall paper paste and then painted over with a sealant, and of course framed as accent pieces. You could try to make one set of items to show and take customized orders from people using whatever themes they want.

If you can draw something simple, like a butterfly, and then color it in, you can make pendants with polymer clay (very easy to make basic things) by decoupaging a copy of the drawing to the pendant. It would also work for things like Christmas ornaments. We have a computer program that allows us to enlarge photos and then make "coloring book" type copies of them. I color the picture in, reduce it to pendant size and decoupage it onto a small (1 1/2" square) and they usually sell very well at craft shows. Images of sunrises, lighthouses,... I attatch a piece of ribbon to make it a inexpensive necklace. PS- I'm in my 30s and I love to sit for hours coloring w/ my sons-- even after they've become bored.

hi there sassygirlanne007 i am 32 years old and i love to colour as well in a colouring book its fun i like doing the ones that has numbers in it like 1 will be colour purple or 2 blue do you what i mean thanks for this discussion and happy postings and happy new year do youfor 2008

I love to color too! Making them into birthday/greeting cards is a good idea...also gift tags, stationary (if one side is blank), calendars, Christmas ornaments, wrapping paper for smaller gifts.

what if instead of coloring books, you color those big posters that you can buy. And then you could sell them in frames :) or color the little ones, and make colages out of them. Or as part of scrap book stuff.. lol i dunno..
