Printing and coloring tips
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.
Ideas for this page
- A different pattern on each stocking — stripes, dots, snowflakes and stars.
- Use a fine-tip pen or a sharp pencil for the smallest shapes — garlands, bows and window panes.
Questions
What paper is best for Stockings by the Fireplace?
