How to Frame Coloring Pages

A finished coloring page deserves a spot on the wall. Framing it takes only a few minutes and makes a lovely gift.

1. Print on the right paper

If you plan to frame a page, print it on cardstock before you start coloring. It stays flat and the colors look richer. Our PDFs fit both Letter and A4 paper.

2. Pick a frame size

A Letter or A4 page fits an 8.5 × 11 inch or A4 frame. For a gallery look, use an 11 × 14 inch frame with a mat – the white border makes the colors stand out.

3. Protect the colors

Markers and colored pencils can fade in direct sunlight. Hang the frame away from sunny windows, or choose a frame with UV-protective glass.

4. Arrange a gallery wall

Mix a few pages with the same theme – mandalas, seasons or animals – in matching frames. Swap them with the seasons: fall pages in autumn, cozy winter pages in December.
