   Methinks: How to create and oolor a Tinkerbell character type of coloring page --- so that you can treasure it forever?
   
   IE: my daughter is going to color it - and I want to keep it forever...
   
   
   OR: I want to Decorate my home with Disney art the CHEAP way... And want ccloring book pages to be the focal point - and either I or someone else has made a ooloring book page picture very pretty - and we'd like to do something nice with it.
   
   
   Here's the answers:
   
   1) If the page is ALREADY colored and you're trying to keep it from yellowing in an attempt to maintain a child's documentation of coloring: Get it sealed in plastic (laminated) - there are several options to this: There are home kits for lamination and there are places you can go to that can do it for you (Print Shops sometimes offer laminating.)
   
   Or
   
   2) If you're trying to create a nicely created coloring book page - you can frame it yourself - you can buy inexpensive Poster Art Frames - and buy colored paper to make borders. Please take a look at most quality art work in frames - there are usually matt boards that create a color effect - raised away from the picture - and make the picture become the focal point of the frame work.
   
   or
   
   3) you can have it professionally framed.
   
   
   
   
   
   If you are looking for special Pre-Drawn pages of TinkerBell that you can color in - they are EVERYWHERE - online to download - offline in coloring book stores - or Through Disney themselves.
   
   
   There are a thousand and one billion things you can do to make a coloring page much MORE than a coloring page - if that is what you want.
   
   However - please note that coloring book paper is usually of REALLY low grade quality - and if you want art that will look NOT LOW quality - you might want to find a way to TRACE it to better quality ART paper.
   
   I've seen people use glitter, gems, sticks, pom poms, cotton balls, cloth pieces, hair clippings, melted wax from crayons, glitter glue, acrylic paint, oil paint (very bad on basic coloring page paper as it will spread horrible), hot glue guns to create lines, colored sugar, etc to color in the spaces - depending on the effect that they wanted to create.
   
   Some people use paint by numbers ---- and there MIGHT be some TINKERBELL paint by numbers somewhere available.
   
   If you have a photo of the picture that you want - you can use Photo Shop or Paint shop Pro to make it into a sketch so that you can make it into a Coloring Book Page:

   And here is a VERY quick TUTORIAL in Photoshop to make A COLORING BOOK --- ALREADY COLORED IN picture of a picture you have: (this is cool, by the way):

   Here's Squidoo on coloring book pages:

   One of my favorite ideas for coloring book pages that People rarely think of to help them paint MURALS in a Room (especially for children) - is to place a light behind them and project them on the wall - draw line in with pencil on wall - then PAINT it on the wall - Voila...
   
   Anyhow - go wild, have fun - hope some of these ideas helped.
