Tutorials
March 23-- DIY Kids Coloring Book by Sandy
March 25-- Long Easel Card by Gail

So I have a very easy and great tutorial that you can do either with your kiddos or for them as a little gift.

I am going to show you the
5 min DYI Kids Coloring Book!
Let's get started !

DIY Kids Coloring Book

by Sandy Hentzel

Items needed:

4 pieces of 4x4 white cardstock

small hold punch

pencil

6 inch floral wire

wire cutter

black ink

stamp set

(I used Zoo Friends)

First you will measure your holes.

Starting 1 inch down, measure every 1/4 inch five times.

You should end an inch from the bottom.

Next, I like to wrap my 6 inch floral wire around a pencil to get my "coil".

Now you want to twist the wire into the holes.

As I am twisting, I will use the pencil to make sure I keep my coil shape.

At the ends, you want to hook your wire into a loop so the coil stays in place.

After you hook your ends, this is what the front should look like.

And here is a picture of the inside of your book.

Now the fun part is to start stamping the images that you want. Here are the images I used covering the front, back and the pages in the middle.

I like to personalize the back page. But the ideas are endless and I can guarantee 100%, your little one will LOVE their own little book.

Plus with the new craze in coloring books, I bet there is a special girlfriend or two that would love a floral image book, one with birds, etc.

MFPStamps are fabulous line art stamps perfect for this type of craft!
