Garland Around the Christmas Tree Coloring Page

Coloring page of a sparkling garland winding around a Christmas tree

Like a sparkling ribbon, this garland winds in big waves around the Christmas tree. The coloring page is ready to print for free and invites you to experiment with metallic shades and shine effects.

Why the garland is a shiny challenge

Unlike the string lights with their individual dots, the garland is one continuous, flowing ribbon. That makes it a wonderful design for anyone who loves working with gold and silver tones and wants to give their picture an extra shiny touch.
