List of the best supplies for your bullet journal. Beginner and budget friendly notebooks, pens, markers and more that you can get for cheap. Plus some BuJo hacks to make life easier!
I am so excited to finally be making this list of bullet journal supplies! I have been testing different supplies in my own bullet journal for awhile now and I finally have a list of stuff that I believe makes a huge difference in how a spread comes together. Best part is that you can buy everything off of Amazon and most is available on Amazon prime so you should get it in two days or so! Which is about as long as my patience lasts these days when I am anxiously waiting for art supplies lol!
I have included my favourite notebooks (Which are super affordable). My favourite markers, pens and craft supplies AND a polaroid photo hack. Since I love adding photos to my BuJo and I highly recommend you start adding photos to your own!

The Best Bullet Journal Supplies:
Bullet Journal Notebooks
AMAZING journal! A fraction of the cost one of the name brand versions with rave reviews on Amazon. This is the one I use and I love it! The paper is good quality and thick. The only thing that is a negative is the fact that the pages aren’t numbered but it doesn’t bother me since I index with washi coded page edges. (Read this post if you don’t know what I am talking about)
- Multi-purpose dot matrix pages are ideal for planning, creating charts and graphs, writing, and sketching, as well as for bullet journaling and other dynamic note-taking methods.
A great option for a more minimalist spread or for a more scrapbook spread. Made by the same company as the dot journal above so it is an awesome choice as well.
- Ample space with 192 grid-lined pages
Mechanical Pencil + Eraser
For sketching on a page before putting pen on the paper. Refillable pencils are great for comfort while drawing as they don’t change shape or weight from sharpening.
- Stainless steel barrel: Combines sleek design with long-lasting durability, offering a refined writing tool that’s built to handle daily use in school, office, or drafting environments.
For erasing those sketches or small mistakes.
- Three premium erasers to help you tackle any erasing task: a kneaded rubber, an ArtGum and latex-free-plastic eraser
Bullet Journal Pens
Great for writing in your dailies, calendar or for when you want your writing to be precise and small.
- PILOT G-TEC C: Designed for razor-sharp definition & extremely intricate, colorful writing, this premium gel ink pen features our unique smear-proof bio-polymer ink & a textured barrel for control.
Everyone’s favorite pen for a reason. Great for lettering and drawing. Comes in a pack with different sizing giving you more versatility in your Bullet Journal.
- Precise archival pens create fade resistant, waterproof, bleed free marks for drawing, artwork, journaling, and more
- Includes 6 black ink Pigma Micron pens in point sizes 005 (0.20mm), 01 (0.25mm), 02 (0.30mm), 03 (0.35mm), 05 (0.45mm), and 08 (0.50mm)
Great for calligraphy and lettering. Comes in a pack of soft and hard tip. I love the hard tip when writing a tiny title (such as the days of the week) and the soft tip for big titles (such as writing the month).
- Contains both the soft and hard tip Fudenosuke Brush Pens
- Features a flexible brush tip for different lettering and drawing techniques
Markers + Water Color
This set of 100 markers is a great entry point for color coding and decorating your journal. It gives you multiple colors and shades to choose from.
- 100 CRAYOLA MARKERS: One 100ct pack of Crayola Super Tips Markers in assorted colors.
- THICK & THIN LINES: Supertips Markers can make thick or thin lines for a variety of coloring techniques.
For giving your Bullet Journal a water color effect, just fill the pen with water and then smudge what you have done with the Crayola markers. (Do this on water color paper and then tape in to your Bullet Journal otherwise the paper will get wrinkly from being wet). Water brushes can give a design a beautiful soft background.
- Create a watercolor masterpiece with the Aquash Water Brush
- Fill barrel with water and blend powdered pigment, watercolor crayons and pencils, pastels and more.
You can also buy specific watercolor markers, designed to be mixed with water to create a watercolor paint effect.
- 12 BRIGHT COLORS: Our watercolor pens come in 12 different unique colors. Use these watercolor markets to blend with water and create amazing effects.
Bullet Journal Decorating
I use this tape constantly to decorate and love it! I make a lot of mistakes so I will tape craft paper or photos over top of mistakes to hide them. #hack
- STRONG; This premium double sided tape from Balune uses powerful adhesive to ensure that your items stay in place over the years; Our two sided tape is designed to be super tough and won’t come unstuck; When you need office and scrapbook supplies that will hold up under any conditions, choose Balune
The brown paper used in the photo above. It seems so simple, but makes for awesome Bullet Journal crafts!

For creating layouts quickly and adding different fonts. I love that this bundle comes with a pouch. Not all the stencils work great (some are too small to get a pen in). I suggest practicing in a notebook before you stencil in your book. It creates unique designs and fonts that you otherwise wouldn’t have. I use mine at least monthly.
- Bullet Journal Stencils Set: Planner stencils come with 36 different bullet journal stencils, including banners, numbers, letters, rectangles and tabs, icons of weather, festival, party and more. And a plastic zipper storage bag,easy to carry in daily use or travel,makes stencils for crafts reusable easy to create creative layouts, making your typography more organized and structured
Washi tape can be solid colours or beautiful patterns for adding a quick design to your journal. I love the tape designs from The Washi Tape Shop. They are my go-to for washi tape and stickers because their designs are so pretty.
Stickers

Polaroid Hack

Finally, this bundle comes with a 32 GB USB Flash Drive and Sunshine Photo Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. The included microfiber cloth will keep your lens clean while eliminating any scratches which would be caused by other cleaning cloths.
