The Perfect DIY Gift for Book Lovers

One of my favorite things about handmade gifts is how personal they can be. These free printable bookmark coloring pages actually started as a little birthday project for my friend — her birthday is this weekend, and I wanted to give her something meaningful but still quick to make. 

We share so many interests: dancing, musicals, and of course, a serious love for books. She’s also absolutely obsessed with cats and moons, so I designed these bookmarks with those elements front and center.

That’s the beauty of these printable bookmarks, you can make them as personal as you want.

For example, by adding a favorite quote, choosing colors you know they’ll adore, or incorporating little design details that remind you of them. 

And because these bookmarks are printable, you can make a whole batch for friends, family, or even as stocking stuffers for readers during the holidays.

It’s such a small gesture, but it’s one that shows you know and appreciate someone’s passions.

When you download this free file, you’ll get three full pages with a total of ten gorgeous printable bookmarks to color.

Of course, you’ll find the special cat and moon designs I made for my friend’s birthday, but I didn’t stop there. I wanted to make sure there was something for every kind of reader and every mood.

Inside the set, you’ll also find bookmarks with delicate butterflies, calming mandalas, sweet little hearts, cozy fall-themed designs, and even festive Christmas patterns. 

Each one is ready for you to print, color, and customize. These printable coloring bookmarks for adults are great for relaxing with your favorite markers or pencils, but they’re also perfect for kids who love to color.

How to Use and Gift Your Coloring Bookmarks

When I made these bookmarks for my friend, I decided to print them on cardstock paper with a matte finish. I know she has an entire arsenal of coloring tools (markers, colored pencils, watercolors).

And I wanted her to be able to use any of them without worrying about smudging or the paper buckling.

That’s the beauty of cardstock: it’s sturdy, smooth, and works beautifully for all kinds of coloring styles.

I recommend using cardstock or at least a thicker paper so they hold up well inside books.

And if you want to add an extra touch of charm, punch a small hole at the top of your finished bookmark and add a ribbon or DIY tassels.
