⬇️ Grab It Now

If you’re ready to start the coloring fun, here are simple instructions for downloading and printing these book covers.

How do I get the printables?

Easy! Just pop your name and best email address into the subscription box right below this section. Once you hit the “Grab It Now” button, I’ll send the download link straight to your inbox.

I don’t see the email, where could it be?

Sometimes it can take a minute or two to show up. Be sure to give your spam or promotions folder a little peek, as emails can sometimes end up there!

How do I print the pages?

Once you’ve downloaded and saved the PDF file to your device, open it with a PDF reader (the free Adobe Reader is my go-to) and select ‘Print’.

The pages are already sized for standard U.S. Letter paper to make it simple. However, you can always adjust the scale or change the type of paper in your printer settings if you’re using a different paper size.

And that’s it! Happy coloring!

📄 From Coloring Pages to Custom Covers

Okay, so you colored a few or maybe all of these awesome sheets. But how do you turn them into custom covers?

It’s actually super easy but a little different depending on what your covering so here are my two favorite methods.

📂 For Binders with Clear Sleeves

I love this! It’s so fast and you can easily swap out the designs whenever you feel like it! Most standard binders have a clear plastic overlay on the front cover.

🔹Simply trim your colored page to size with scissors (if needed), slide it right into the sleeve, and you’re done in 60 seconds!

📒 For Notebooks & Decorating Front Covers

This method is great for personalizing spiral notebooks, composition books, the front of a textbook, or a plain binder.

🔹Trim to Fit – Place your colored page on the front cover of your book or notebook. Trim any excess paper from the edges with scissors to get a perfect fit.

🔹Attach the Page – For the smoothest look, I recommend using a glue stick or double-sided tape to tack the page down so it doesn’t move around.

🔹Secure the Edges – Finish by taping along all four edges with clear packing tape. This gives it a clean, sealed look and protects the edges from peeling up in a backpack.

📌Tip: If you want the cover to be extra durable and water-resistant, you can cover it with clear contact paper (self-adhesive laminating sheets). It’s a simple step that really helps your beautiful artwork live longer!

🎨 Looking for More Coloring Fun?

My new coloring hobby is quickly turning into an obsession! I might have gone a little overboard creating pages.

If you or your teen are looking for more designs that are purely for relaxation and fun, you should definitely grab my free printable ornamental coloring pages for teens as well. They’re great for the grown-ups too, and such a relaxing activity to keep us away from our devices just a little bit longer.

It’s been so fun getting into coloring as an adult. I’d love to know if any other parents have picked up this relaxing hobby alongside their kids!
