If you’ve been following this blog for the past 6 months or so…you’ll already know that many of the writers here on the blog love the adult coloring book trend. While I didn’t jump on the trend myself right away…I did jump on it recently and have found it totally addictive as a crafter for sure!
Adult coloring books are a great way to sit down to relax and de-stress from your day. Not only that…if you love creating your own artwork and/or craft projects, you’ll love adult coloring books for that simple reason too! I love using my newly created artwork on my scrapbooking pages, homemade greeting cards and other paper crafts that I make.
Title: Cotton + Steel (Adult Coloring Book)

Book Synopsis: Welcome to Cotton + Steel’s innovative world of art, whimsy and wonder! In the Cotton & Steel Coloring Book, the design team from the vintage-meets-mod fabric line brings its one-of-a-kind style to the coloring page. Explore intricate Japanese-inspired motifs and quirky antique telephones & typewriters. Add a pop of color to primitive wildlife art and rustic feedsack prints, all original, authentic and ready for you to create your own collection! Inside the pages of this soft-cover book you’ll find over 75+ whimsical designs to color and love.
My Thoughts: As I already stated above, I’ve jumped onto the adult coloring book bandwagon but not as a relaxation tool but as a crafting tool since I’m a big paper-crafter. I love to sit down and create scrapbooking pages, handmade greeting cards, homemade decorated gift bags, gift boxes and various other paper crafts. The art you create with adult coloring books is absolutely perfect for any paper-crafter like myself.
The 75+ whimsical designs in this particular book are really different than most other designs that I’ve personally seen out in the retail marketplace. I love that these images remind me of old catalog images, book images, wallpaper, fabrics and all sorts of other “vintage and old” type of things. Some of the designs are very simple and others are very intricate, something for everyone in this book for sure! You’ll find floral patterns, animals, girly purse designs, seasonal designs, whimsical designs, artsy designs and more. I would estimate that the majority of the designs in this book are totally geared toward a female but males would enjoy them too.

I haven’t tried them, but I know a lot of people that do. I like this trend. Coloring is relaxing, and I like how they are getting books geared to adults but still have fun themes.
I’ve colored up until my 20’s, last few years I haven’t had time though. Now that it is so popular I haven’t been doing it. But I want to start soon!
I have not tried this, I don’t think that I have time for it.
I have not used adult coloring books but my sister loves them.

I have one physical adult coloring book I won and tons of Kindle e-books I’ve horded for the PDFs. I need to print them to color. I love to doodle and journal, but I’m also thinking I’d love to use the colored pages as an origami project. I’m into paper crafts as well.
I love paper crafting Deb and it’s one of my favorite crafting mediums! I’ve been using some of my artwork from the adult coloring books that I’ve been reviewing in scrapbooks, to make greeting cards, framed a few and gave as gifts, as gift wrapping for small jewelry gift boxes and so forth.
