DIY Bullet Journal

Recently I have been seeing a lot of bullet journaling videos floating around Youtube and since I am obsessed with stationary I had to check it out and immediately fell in love with the concept. It allows you to do whatever you want to your journal and make it yours. You can customize it to your liking and make it you! Today I will be showing you how I detailed mine along with the tools I used to make it.
Tools:
The first thing you will need is the bullet journal itself. I got mine from Chapters and it is called the 
LEUCHTTURM1917 dotted hardcover notebook.
The pen I use in my journal are the Pigma Micron felt tip pens in various sizes. 
If you want to make you journal and but more colourful you could these triplus fine liners from Staedtler. 

The Design: 
Firstly I began with a Index where I documented all of my important pages. 
Next I drew out my future log and if you wondering where I got the inspiration from I would definitely recommend checking out Pintrest! 
For the Key I used the general one that has been created by the Bullet Journal creators. Click on the link for the thorough overview. 
Next, I created the memories page where I am going to document important events in my life. 
Next, there are the Books to Read page where I created a bookcase where I will put book titles of what I want to read. There is also a Wishlist page where I will put things that I want to purchase. 
I also included a Movies and TV Shows to Watch page as well as Travel. 
For the beginning of the month I created a flower design which I realized was a bit too small but I still found super cute! 
Next I created my monthly spread which I enjoyed but I realized that I didn't end up using the goals and tasks section throughout the month. 
Lastly I made my first weekly spread which I completely love because of the calligraphy and doodles in the corner. It makes it look simplistic and clean.

So that's my bullet journal! I hope you enjoyed reading his weeks post. As you can tell I am aiming for a simplistic black and white theme. What I have realized from bullet journaling is that over time you will fire out what style best suits you for future spreads!
