Simple Bullet Journal Cover page Theme for beginner

If you are about to start bullet journaling and wonder how to decorate the bullet journal cover page, well you come to the right place!

BULLET JOURNAL COVER PAGE

Since I’m just starting my bullet journal journey, the thing I think about is of course the cover page.

It’s not necessarily needed, I agree. But since I used my old journal and turned it into a bullet journal, I feel like creating the cover page is nice to have that separation between them

*Note

The Bullet Journal Method

if you are just starting and want to know more about the bullet journal, you might want to read this post to help you begin the process.

The bullet journal method can be approached in 6 steps

  1. Bullet journal key
  2. Bullet journal index
  3. Bullet journal future log
  4. Bullet journal monthly spreads
  5. Bullet journal weekly/daily spreads
  6. Bullet journal collections

The bullet journal cover page serves as a separator between months. It’s not in the original version of the bullet journal but it is a fun way to explore the creative expression and set the theme of the month.

5 Seconds Summary

Naturally, I go to Instagram to find the bullet journal cover page idea.

And boy, it sure didn’t disappoint.

A few minutes in, I already get bombarded with the aesthetic, creative, colourful-looking bullet journal.

* Breath in- Breath out*

Since I’m just starting, I know I couldn’t follow whatever I saw on Instagram.

So I decided to write down what I want to focus on this month

I think that having a monthly theme of what I want to focus on will create a better sense of direction.

Then, this will be the cover page of my bullet journal.

Rather than focus on the aesthetic aspect only, I have decided the cover page should reflect my focus of the month.

Is it gratitude?

Is it money?

Is it growth?

For this April-May, I have decided that the focus will be on starting something new.

So naturally, I’m thinking of something like the plant/floral-related theme to be the cover page.

(I’m so cliché , I know)

Bullet journal Autumn theme

I think that for beginners in bullet journaling, using pictures and pasting them in is the best bet

You can print out any aesthetic picture you found in the Pinterest or maybe from the magazine to decorate the cover page of the bullet journal

I think it’s the cheat code for bullet journaling if you love aesthetic-looking bullet journals but not reaching that creative level (yet).

this cover page spread is the perfect example
