My favorite thing about bullet journals is the fact that you can do whatever your heart desires.
If you try out a banner and decide you don’t like it, the next page is a fresh slate.
I’ve collected some amazing bullet journal header ideas if you are looking for some inspiration.
Whether you’re a pro or completely new to bullet journaling, I’m sure you will find something here you’ll love to try out.
If you’re new to bullet journals read this post first: What is Bullet Journaling and How Do I Start?
TOOLS:
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.
- I use this journal, which is a dupe to the cult-favorite Leuchtturm1917. The only difference is the pages aren’t numbered. No biggie.
- This is the black pen I use for writing in my dailies and such.
- I get these colorful markers for decorating.
- 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 bullet journals you only really need the notebook and pen.
