Book Bolt also comes with a growing selection of premade interiors such as lined notebook pages and puzzle interiors if you’d like to create journals or activity books. If you’d like to sell coloring pages as a printable eBook or as a physical book through Amazon, Book Bolt will help you format your pages into a product that you can then sell digitally on Etsy or through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing ( that’s what the KDP means on many of CF’s graphics ), where Amazon will print and mail a physical copy for you when you make a sale. How to Turn Your Printable Coloring Pages Into Books I recommend making a dozen or two pages in a similar theme, then selling them individually as well as in a bundle in a separate listing. You can then sell the pages as-is, or as a bundle with other pages. Here’s an example of a coloring page I made using Canva and some graphics from Creative Fabrica : It’s so worth it, especially if you want to sell more than just coloring books. I’ve had one for about two years and have made hundreds of products. It can get pricey when you’re buying design elements, which is why I highly recommend getting an unlimited download subscription to Creative Fabrica. Still, I recommend putting some originality into your pages to help them stand out and increase your potential sales. The only exception is if you’re sourcing from the POD (print-on-demand) section. That’s fine if you’re just making them for personal use, but if you’re making coloring pages to sell, you’ll have to turn it into a unique product that’s not just the single graphic. The one thing to keep in mind when creating coloring pages out of graphics you’ve downloaded is that with CF’s licensing terms, you’ll have to do more than just slap one graphic onto a page and call it good. You could even incorporate an outline font to make text-based designs. Many of these results are individual pieces of clip art that you can download and combine into a coloring book or page, like these: Search the word “coloring” on Creative Fabrica and it’ll bring up thousands of results (87,503 when I searched). You’re also supporting small independent designers when you source from here, and there are plenty of freebies offered so make sure to check out the free section to see if there’s anything you can use. The main reason I love it is that everything comes with a commercial use license, so you don’t have to worry about whether it’s OK to sell something you make with elements purchased at Creative Fabrica. To make things easier, I recommend downloading graphics from the next website on this list: Creative FabricaĬreative Fabrica is my favorite website for sourcing graphics, fonts, and clip art for my products. All you have to do is create an 8×10” file, upload the graphics and lay them out how you want the page to look, then download the pages to sell in your store.Ĭanva Pro has plenty of graphics and clip art you can use in your designs, just make sure to check the licensing terms of both your Canva plan and the graphic you want to use to ensure it’s permitted for commercial use. Here are the tools you need to create coloring pages as a beginner: Canva ProĬanva is a wonderful design tool for all levels and perfect for formatting your coloring pages. I lack them too, and it hasn’t stopped me from making a steady income from my creative pursuits. I recently bought a Wacom tablet to practice my own illustration and design skills, and it’s going about as great as you can expect for someone who can barely draw a 25 dog on the sidewalk without my 2-year-old niece being like “what the fuck is that?” I probably won’t be selling my own illustrations anytime soon, so don’t feel discouraged if you lack the skills needed to create a design from scratch. If you know how to draw or create your own graphics, then you’re already a step ahead as far as creating original designs for your coloring pages.
