3. How to color Disney princess Belle coloring pages
Do you want a step-by-step instruction to color Belle coloring pages? It may be so helpful for a newbie who has started coloring or has little experience. If you have already had your favorite Belle sheets and mediums in hand, let’s start.
3.1. Notes when choosing supplies
You can choose any coloring tools that match your coloring preference. Each tool has its pros and cons, so don’t skip this part for a desired result. I will show you some notes when using different types of mediums before start coloring Belle coloring pages.
- Crayons: They create a playful and bold result. Good for blending technique and covering large patterns and areas. However, with thick tips, they’re not ideal for small and intricate details. Sometimes, if you use too much hand power, they will leave a waxy buildup.
- Colored pencils: Opposite to crayons, colored pencils are ideal for intricate details. But they may require more patience to fill larger spaces. However, if you want to add layer and shade to your artwork, they are the best. You can use a blending pencil or apply light pressure for smooth transitions.
- Markers: Markers are perfect for those who want bold, vibrant colors with even coverage. However, markers can bleed through thin paper and are less effective for blending compared to other tools. To prevent bleeding, use thick paper or a coloring pad. For fine details, opt for a fine-tip marker, while broad-tip markers work well for larger spaces.
- Watercolor: It may hard to use for beginner because it requires special papers, some coloring technique. It also requires time to dry before layering but it worths your time. But they are more than perfect to create soft, dreamy effects and vibrant backgrounds.
3.2. Understand Belle’s Color Palette
To create a classic Belle look, you should under stand her color palette. Let’s prepare the color scheme before starting coloring your Belle coloring pages. Let’s refer my suggestion below and adjust base on colors you have in hand.
- Hair: Rich brown with subtle lighter highlights.
- Eyes: Warm hazel or brown.
- Village Dress: Light blue dress with a white apron and blouse.
- Ball Gown: Golden yellow, often accented with soft shadows or sparkles.
- Skin Tone: Soft pink or light peach.
3.3. Start with the basics
When coloring Belle coloring pages, let’s start with large and basic patterns first. It is much easier for you to imagine the overall look of your image. This is the ordering color, you can refer to:
- Begin with the skin: Take soft pink or light peach color for the skin. You can use hands, or blending supply to gently blend for a smooth look. Don’t forget to add pink for her cheek to mimic natural blush look.
- Move to hair: Prepare two shades of brown for me. You start with a lighter brown to cover the base, and add a darker one for shadow. If you have some coloring skills, you can try to mimic the sunlight by add beige where lights hit her hair.
- Come to her eyes: You warm hazel or light brown for the iris, you can leave the sclera white. Let’s add a small white dot near the pupil for a sparkling look.
3.4. Color her outfit
Belle yellow’s gown is one of her signature so let’s pay attention to it in your Belle coloring pages. Let’s start with a vibrant yellow base for her gown and use a darker shade of yellow to add shade for skirt folds.
If you have glitter pens or metallic markers, let’s use them. Let’s add sparkle to the edge to give the gown a magical feel.

One of the most popular ideas is to make greeting cards from finished coloring pages. It is suitable for all ages because it’s useful, easy-to-make and inexpensive at all.
To do this idea, let’s prepare a blank card or a folded piece of cardstock. Of course, you can not lack glue stick, scissors and some decorative stuffs for any crafts. Now, let’s make a Belle-themed card with me.
- Step 1: (Skip this step if you use already blank card) You fold the cardstock in half to make the shape of a card.
- Step 2: Choosing your favorite Belle coloring pages and cut out the princess. Make sure the cutout fits the front of the card.
- Step 3: Then, you use glue stick or two-sided tape to stick cutouts to the card. It is optional but you can leave space for a border so that you can decorate later.

4.2. Wall Art or Room Décor
The second idea is to make a wall art that adds a magical touch to your room. However, I suggest that, you should enlarge the Belle coloring pages before printing to make a wall art. Choosing the size of the wall art you want before printing such as A3 size or A4 size.
You don’t need any complicated materials but a frame, ribbon, tape and scissors. It’s important to choose a frame that fits your Belle coloring sheets. I think you can easily buy one at any craft shops.
- Step 1: Let’s decorate your coloring sheet of Belle with glitter, sticker or ribbon as you want.
- Step 2: Place the coloring page into the frame. If it is bigger than the frame, you can cut the border, make sure you don’t cut into the character. Then you secure the frame with the backing.
It is just that easy and now you can hang the frame on the wall or place it on a shelf to decorate. For more fun, let’s frame more than one artwork, you can create a series of Belle princess coloring pages. Then, you put them together and hang it on as a gallery wall.
4.3. Custom Belle-themed Book Covers
Turning Belle coloring pages into book covers is a great idea for children. Teachers can use it as a class activity or parents use it to bring them away from digital devices. Moreover, children can use their craftwork everyday that make them engaged more and more.
To start this craft idea, make sure you have laminating sheets or clear adhesive paper, scissors, tape, books. 3 easy steps to make book covers are.
- Step 1: You carefully trim your Belle coloring pictures to fit the front of notebooks. Let’s laminate the artwork with clear adhesive paper for durability.
- Step 2: Then, you wrap the page around the book cover and tape it securely on the inside.
- Step 3: For a complete wraparound, use additional pages or matching paper for the back cover. For decoration, you can add stickers on the cover or write your name.
4.4. Belle-themed Puzzle Game
Let’s create a fun game to play with your friends or hold a class activity. I promise it is not difficult at all, kids can train their brain and mobility skill with this idea. Adults let’s prepare sturdy cardboard or cardstock for toddlers so we can start this craft.
- Step 1: Choosing your favorite Belle coloring pages. I suggest to choose easy Belle pictures for young kids and choose an intricate one for older kids.
- Step 2: You glue that coloring page onto a piece of sturdy cardboard or cardstock. Let it dry completely to ensure the page adheres well to the backing.
- Step 3: Turn the cardboard over and use a pencil to draw puzzle piece shapes on the back. You can simply cut it into square shape or rectangle one. You also can try to cut it into the puzzle shape.
- Step 4: After finishing drawing shape, let’s carefully cut along the lines to create the individual puzzle pieces. Now, mix up the pieces and allow game time starts.
You can cut it into more pieces to increase difficulty and less piece to create an easier level for kids.
4.5. Handmade Gift Wrap
My last idea is to turn the Belle coloring pages into the handmade grift wrap. It is perfect idea when your friend’ or family member’ birthday is coming. The materials needed are tape, ribbon, scissors, additional decorations like bows or glitter.
- Step 1: You lay your colored Belle page flare and place the gift in the center. If one coloring page can’t cover the gift, let’s stick 2 or 3 pages together with tape or glue.
- Step 2: Now, you fold the edges of the paper around the gift and secure them with tape. You can add a ribbon or bow for extra decoration.
I think this idea is better for small gift box like books, jewelry rather than a big one. You can use washi tape instead of normal one for a good look.
