Coloring Traditional Holiday Candles
When coloring these festive designs, you can experiment with different techniques to make the flames look realistic. A bright yellow center surrounded by a soft orange or red halo gives the candle flame a warm, glowing effect. Many of the illustrations in our classic candle section feature traditional pillar candles surrounded by winter foliage.
You can use deep greens for the pine needles and bright reds for the holly berries to create a classic holiday contrast. Adding a subtle yellow glow to the objects immediately surrounding the flame helps establish a cozy atmosphere on the paper.
Decorating with Candle Printables
These coloring sheets work well as homemade holiday decorations or greeting cards. Once colored, you can cut out the lanterns or wreaths and hang them in a window display to mimic the look of real glowing lights. The designs range from simple outlines for young children to moderately detailed botanical arrangements that older kids and adults will enjoy shading.
Teachers can use the simpler templates in the classroom for winter art projects, while parents might enjoy the more intricate centerpiece designs for a relaxing evening activity.
- Print the Advent wreath designs to track the weeks leading up to Christmas.
- Use the floating candle bowls as inspiration for your own holiday table centerpieces.
- Color the twisted candles with plaid ribbons to use as custom gift tags.
Adding Texture to Winter Foliage
The greenery surrounding these candles offers a great opportunity to practice blending. Poinsettias and holly leaves look best when you layer different shades of green and red. Adding a touch of white or light blue to the edges of the leaves can create a frosted, snowy appearance.
For the wooden bases and log holders, try using varied brown tones with light pencil strokes to mimic the natural grain of the wood. If you are coloring the winter scenes with snowy sills, a pale blue or gray shadow under the snowdrifts will make the white areas pop against the warm candlelight.
