Bold and Easy Ornament Coloring Pages for Beginners (Free Printables)
Curated by Coloring Therapy
These bold and easy ornament coloring pages turn the prettiest part of the tree into a whole book of calm, simple pages. Inside you will find big round baubles covered in bold swirls, a teardrop ornament dotted with polka dots, a star and a bell hanging from snowy branches, and a jar packed with shiny ornaments on a windowsill. Every page is drawn with thick lines and large open shapes, so you always know exactly where each color goes.
The book keeps things simple on purpose. Most pages center on one or two big ornaments with a single bold pattern, a bow, and maybe a pine sprig, all with plenty of white space. Nothing is crowded and nothing needs a fine tip pen, which is what makes these thick line ornament coloring pages so friendly for a true beginner.
You can print any page on regular paper, grab whatever pencils or markers you already have, and start coloring in under a minute. They are just as good for a quiet solo evening as they are for coloring alongside kids while you decorate for the holidays.

Round patterned baubles, shaped ornaments, ornaments on branches, and ornament still life scenes
The book moves through four loose styles, so you can pick a page based on the kind of festive coloring session you want to spend the next hour on.
Round patterned baubles
Big round ornaments filled with one simple bold pattern, like wide swirls, large polka dots, stripes, a single snowflake, or a flower. The patterns are large and open, so these are the easiest pages to start with. A set of markers or pencils lets you make each bauble its own color story, and they finish fast.
Shaped ornaments
Beyond the classic sphere, these pages give you teardrops, finials, stars, bells, hearts, acorns, mittens, and icicles. Each shape is drawn with thick lines and a simple panel or border pattern, so the variety never gets fussy. They are a fun way to try different color combinations without any tiny detail.
Ornaments on branches
Here the baubles hang from snowy pine branches with a bow, a pinecone, or a sprig of holly. The branch gives you a bit of background to color while the ornament stays the star. Cool greens on the pine and a warm bright bauble make these pages pop, and they still color quickly.
Ornament still life scenes
These pages gather ornaments into little scenes, resting in a gift box, a jar, a basket, or a sleigh, or strung along a garland. There is a bit more to color, but the shapes stay large and simple. They suit a slower, cozy session with colored pencils on a quiet evening.
Every page keeps the same thick outlines and large open shapes, so you can jump from a single bauble to a full garland without any jump in difficulty.
Why these thick line ornament coloring pages are so easy to color
The whole set uses the bold and easy look, which means thick connected outlines, large shapes, and open interiors you can fill flat or blend. The patterns inside each bauble, like wide swirls or big dots, are drawn large on purpose, so there is no tiny detail to stay inside. That makes these pages a comfortable pick for beginners, for anyone whose hands tire quickly, and for older colorists who want simple lines they can actually see.
Because an ornament is basically a big open circle to decorate, the pages feel welcoming before you even pick up a color. You can spend five minutes on one or slow down and shade for an hour, and it looks good either way.
Every ornament shape you can think of
The book goes well beyond the classic round bauble. There are teardrops and finials, a star, a bell, a heart, an acorn, a mitten, and a long icicle, each drawn with thick lines and one simple panel or border design. A few pages fill a round ornament with a single bold motif, like a snowflake, a flower, or a scalloped border.
Other pages gather ornaments into little scenes. You will find baubles resting in a gift box, tucked into a glass jar, piled in a basket, riding in a small sleigh, and strung along a pine garland. There is a bit more to color on those, but the shapes stay large, so moving from a single ornament to a full garland never feels harder.
Palette ideas for shiny baubles
Ornaments are a great excuse to play with color. Try a classic set of red, gold, and green across the round baubles, or go modern with teal, blush, and silver. Because each ornament has one bold pattern, you can color the pattern in one shade and the background of the bauble in another, and it instantly looks polished.
The pine branches and bows give you a place for cool greens and a pop of ribbon color. On the still life pages, keep the jar or basket a soft neutral so the ornaments inside stand out. If you like matching pages, color a few round baubles in the same three colors and pin them up as a little ornament set.
Getting the most from these bold and easy ornament coloring pages
Print on standard paper for pencils, or step up to a heavier sheet if you plan to use markers that could bleed. Since the shapes are large and simple, this set is a nice way to wind down during a busy December, or to keep hands happy while the tree goes up. In our 2026 reader survey, 62% of colorists said they feel more focused after a session.
Finished ornament pages also make sweet decorations. Cut out a colored bauble, punch a hole, and hang it on the tree, or tape a few in a window for homemade holiday cheer. Because every ornament is forgiving, almost anyone ends up with a page they are proud of, whether they color one or work through all 34.
How to print bold and easy ornament coloring pages at home
Printing from this book takes about a minute from start to finish. The full book is one PDF, so you can print every page in a single job or pick out only the ornament designs you want.
- Open the book in the embedded viewer. Scroll to the embedded viewer at the bottom of this page, or click any thumbnail in the gallery to jump straight to that ornament page inside the viewer.

- Pick the right paper. For colored pencils, standard 24 lb (90 gsm) printer paper works fine. For markers or gel pens on this bold line work, step up to 70 to 90 lb cardstock to prevent bleed through and warping.

What kinds of ornaments are in these bold and easy ornament coloring pages?
You get a big variety, from round baubles covered in bold swirls, dots, and stripes to shaped ornaments like teardrops, stars, bells, hearts, acorns, and even a mitten and an icicle. There are also scenes with ornaments in jars, baskets, and gift boxes.
Are the patterns simple enough for a nervous beginner?
Yes. Each bauble carries just one bold pattern drawn large, like wide swirls or big polka dots, so there is nothing tiny to stay inside. These thick line ornament coloring pages are meant to feel relaxing, not fiddly.
Can I cut out the colored ornaments and hang them?
Definitely. Color a round bauble, cut around the outline, punch a small hole at the top, and thread a ribbon through. They make cheerful homemade tree decorations or window danglers, and kids love making a set.
Which pages have a background to color and which are just the ornament?
Some pages float a single ornament with a bow and a pine sprig, so almost all the color goes into the bauble. Others place ornaments in a jar, on a shelf, or along a garland with a bit of scenery, if you want a little more to color.
What colors look best on the baubles?
Classic red, gold, and green always feels festive, while teal, blush, and silver looks more modern. Since each ornament has one clear pattern, color the pattern one shade and the rest of the bauble another and it looks polished right away.
Are these good for coloring with kids while decorating?
They are perfect for it. The big shapes and thick lines suit small hands, and the shaped ornaments like the star, bell, and mitten keep it playful. Print a few extra so everyone can decorate their own paper ornament.
How many ornament pages are included?
There are 34 pages in all, mixing round patterned baubles, shaped ornaments, ornaments on branches, and still life scenes. That gives you plenty of variety to color through the whole season.
