A few years back, I had the special request to make a set of holiday coloring placemats for a family. I was excited to get the illustrations done and I made some for our own family that year as well and then forgot to share any of them on the blog!

I had so much fun drawing christmas trees, Christmas decorations, Santa Claus’ Hat and candy canes hidden in there.

This year, I’ve taken those holiday clip art illustrations I made and turned them into these free printable paper borders for the holidays. I love the holly doodles so much I think I might make a complete holly border… what do you think?

I created two different versions of this festive border for you to choose form and I can’t wait to show you all the freebies I’ve created with these doodles. This is really the first of some super fun printables coming your way, but after creating my fall paper borders, I knew I wanted to design a set of holiday page borders for you first.

I love these printable border papers for Christmas because they’re so darn versatile. Printable holiday stationery for your snail mail or annual update? You betcha!

Colorful borders for homemade greeting cards? Print it half size and have the kiddos color the drawings in for custom christmas card inserts!

Looking to dress up newsletters and notices on teacher boards? Heck yes!

Honestly these are so pretty they’d even be great for a details sheet to bundle in with a holiday event invitation.

If you’ve been using clipart borders from Microsoft Word but are looking for full page borders that are less border clip art and more elegant borders, this is totally for you! 

Since these have a white background, they can be used for pretty much anything you’re printing. Just print them on blank paper first, then throw them back in the printer to print your newsletter, vocal music, personal projects, church coffee bar holiday warm beverages menu… I mean, I’m just listing things that could possibly benefit from a decorative border now, but I’m sure you get the idea 😉

These free printable page borders could be used for any kind of scrapbooking if you want to get creative. I’m really excited to see how you use these christmas printable frames!

What’s the best way to print these Christmas free printable page borders

You can print free printable page borders any way you like, but I have a couple suggestions to make the most of them! While every free printable is different, these ones are simple 8.5×11″ PDF documents which makes them incredibly easy to print at home or at your local print shop. They will print just like a document, without special settings like a photo.

While you can print these free fall border art prints on regular letter size paper (this printable is actually very well suited for that!), I find printing on card stock looks nicer and allows you to keep your printables in better condition as you use them (it doesn’t crinkle nearly as easy).

This also lets you color with more pigmented markers without bleeding through to the surface below. 

Depending what you’re planning to use them for… laminate to help them last even longer!

You can see all of my tips for downloading and printing free printables like these ones in this detailed post.
