Free Printable Floral Bookmarks To Colour.

I’m so excited to share these FREE bookmarks with you today. If you’re a bookworm or an avid colourist then I think you’re going to love them.

I’ve made a few DIY bookmarks over the years and I think these are the prettiest ones yet. I don’t know about you but as the darker nights draw in I can’t think of anything better than curling up with a good book (and a FREE printable bookmark 😉).

Two of my favourite ways to relax are reading and colouring so I thought I'd combine the two and make some pretty printable bookmarks we can all colour in and use.

You can use coloured pencils or markers to colour them in or leave them as black and white line art. The choice is yours.

To make them extra durable, print them on 200 GSM cardstock paper or laminate them after you’ve finished colouring them in.

They make lovely gifts especially if you’ve got a book-loving friend or two. Slip them into a book your giving as a gift to a teacher, friend or family member.

What Paper Should I Use for Printing my Colouring Page Bookmarks?

To print your pages I recommend lightweight cardstock (80 lb) as I find standard printer paper (typically 20 - 40 lb) very thin.

When the paper is thicker it makes it easier to blend colours if you’re using colouring pencils and makes the colours more vibrant.

Here are a few of my favourites:

The Best Coloured Pencils.

When it comes to coloured pencils there are a lot to choose from. From the cheapest of cheap to the super expensive.

First up the super expensive:

The Mid-Range:

Cheap as Chips:

And don’t be afraid to experiment. You can try different types of paper and lightweight cardstock (textured paper, watercolour paper, super smooth paper) and try markers, gel pens, watercolour markers and even pastels.

How to print your FREE Floral Colouring Page Bookmarks.

  1. Sign up below to be sent your FREE colouring page bookmarks by email.

  2. Open the email and click the button to download the PDF file.

  3. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader.

  4. Print out on your chosen white cardstock.

  5. Cut out and use to help you remember where you last left off in any book.

Bonus step: Laminate your bookmarks to help them last longer. If you don't have a laminating machine you could use these clever self-laminating sheets instead.

Top Tip:

I know ink can get expensive when you do a lot of printing so I like to use a HP Instant Ink Printer.

I pay a small amount every month that lets me print to my heart’s content. When my ink is running low I get replacement printer cartridges mailed straight to my house and can return my old ones for recycling.

Click here to use my referral and we’ll both get 3 FREE months. Pretty great, right?

I hope this printable weekly planner helps you get organised and stay on track. Print it out as many times as you like and get planning!
