A Deck You Build Before You Read It
Every other tarot deck in my shop is a finished product. This one is a starting point. Make Your Own Tarot Deck is a 128-page paperback coloring book where each page contains an illustrated version of one of the 78 tarot cards. You color them, cut them out, and end up with a complete, usable deck that's entirely your own. The coloring process is not just decoration. Every choice you make about how to render a card reinforces that card's symbolism in your memory, which means that by the time you sit down for your first reading, you'll already have a working relationship with the imagery.
This is a useful format for tarot students who learn through doing rather than reading, for art therapists introducing tarot as a reflective tool in a creative context, and for any practitioner who has browsed the standard tarot and divination kits and found that none of them feel like theirs. The illustrations are designed to be colored in any style, so there's no right approach, only your approach.
What's Inside and How the Reading Guide Works
The book covers all 22 Major Arcana and all 56 Minor Arcana cards across the four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each card illustration is printed with the reverse-side pattern on the back of the same page, so when you cut the card out, the back is already finished and matches the rest of the deck. The reading guidance section walks you through how to use the completed deck, including instructions for several common spreads. At 8.2 by 8.2 inches across 128 pages, this is a square-format book that gives each card enough space to work with comfortably. Published by Callisto Publishing (Frechverlag), it's a complete kit in a single paperback.
How to Use Make Your Own Tarot Deck
Three steps for building and using the complete 78-card coloring deck.
-
Read the Introduction First
Start by reading the introductory section before coloring anything. It explains the 78-card tarot structure, including what the Major Arcana represents and how the four Minor Arcana suits differ in theme and energy from each other.
-
Color and Cut Each Card
Work through the coloring pages in any order, but finish each card fully before cutting it out. The reverse side has a matching pattern so your completed deck has cohesive backs, which matters once you start shuffling and using the cards.
-
Read with Your Finished Deck
After coloring and cutting, use the guidance section to learn how to perform readings. Because you colored the images yourself, you'll have strong intuitive familiarity with each card's symbolism before you ever sit down for your first spread.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this because it's genuinely unique in my shop. Every other tarot deck here is ready to use out of the box. This one asks you to participate in its creation, and that process changes how you relate to the cards. I've seen it recommended for tarot teachers who want students to engage with card symbolism at a deeper level, and for creative practitioners who've never found a published deck that felt fully aligned with how they see the imagery. It's also the most accessible introduction to tarot structure available here, because you build that structure card by card.

Frequently Asked Questions
The book contains coloring illustrations for all 78 tarot cards: all 22 Major Arcana and all 56 Minor Arcana. Each card page is designed to be colored then cut out to create a complete, usable deck. A reading guidance section is also included.
Colored pencils, markers, and pens all work well. Watercolors may cause pages to warp unless your technique is dry. The card surface has a varnish-like coating, so test your preferred medium on a practice page before working on the full deck.
The completed cut cards will be sized relative to the 8.2 by 8.2 inch book. Standard tarot cards are typically 4.75 by 2.75 inches, so expect the finished cards from this kit to be slightly larger than a commercially produced reading deck.
This is a coloring-book kit, not a set of blank cardstock. Each card has a pre-drawn illustration to color and cut. It is designed for practitioners who want personalization without needing drawing skill, plus a guide to reading with the result.
