13 Bullet Journal Header and Banner Ideas To Try Out

If you’re new to bullet journals read this post first: What is Bullet Journaling and How Do I Start?

Before we dive right in, I want to mention the tools I have found and use for Bullet Journaling. If you’re just starting out on your BuJo journey, these are the tools I wish I had purchased at the beginning instead of overpriced books and markers that ‘professional bullet journal-ers’ recommended me.

1. I use this journal, which is a dupe to the cult-favorite Leuchtturm1917. The only difference is the pages aren’t numbered. No biggie.
2. This is the black pen I use for writing in my dailies and such.
3. I get these colorful markers for decorating.
4. Metal Stencils to help me decorate and design my journal. They come with a little carry case and ruler.

That’s it. And to be completely transparent, I only use the markers and stencils a couple of times a month, when I set up new pages, or am bored and want to decorate.

They’re great to have on hand for when you’re trying to figure out how to decorate your bullet journal.

BUT, the bread and butter of a bullet journal is simply a pen and a notebook you carry with you regularly. Don’t get too crazy in the beginning as you figure out what pages do and don’t work for you.

Especially for minimalist BuJo’s you only really need the notebook and pen.
