How to Make a Coloring Book From Your Photos (not just for kids)
Edited on Mon Nov-21-11 05:45 AM by Are_grits_groceries
Turn your family photos into fun kids' coloring books for free! This simple tutorial will teach you how to use a free online image editing app called Pixlr to turn any photograph into black and white outlines that you can print out at home.

What better way to keep your kids entertained on a rainy day or a holiday weekend?

Of course, you don't need to use family photos. We'll even discuss how to insert your family members into exciting action scenes or far-flung landscapes. It's your coloring book, so you can choose the story! Even better, why not let the kids decide?

I'm going to talk through this process in a lot of detail, but that's only so that a complete beginner will feel comfortable. Don't be intimidated by the number of steps; you can actually complete the project in about 5 minutes!


The main site has instructions on how to make a lot of things:

The types of 'coloring books' that could be made are infinite. Imagination............
