Bullet Journaling ON A BUDGET | Spreads For Lined Pages
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hey everyone! Today I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to create a bullet journal with less than $20! I know many of you who watch my videos are students who can't always justify spending money on leuchtturm notebooks and tombows, so I wanted to show how you can make a cute bullet journal on a budget with items you may already have lying around. This video also gave me the opportunity to show you bullet journal spreads on lined paper (versus the usual dot paper that I use), so I hope you all enjoy what I came up with !

Thank God.
I thought I was bad for using lined paper, but I'm glad people actually use it on a budget. I'm just using lined paper until I get the hang of things😊
namjooncansteponmeandiwouldthankhim I love ur username lol
your username is a mood tbh
Please tell namjoon to step on me also ! Hiiiii there army 🟣🟣🟣
I've been searching endlessly for a simple how to for bullet journaling , many videos would state "simple" and end up being more complicated than I expected. Yours is perfect! THANK YOU!
THANKS! :))
Thanks for doing this! I've never seen a budget bullet journal video before. I want to get more into bullet journaling but I just can't afford the moleskines and tombow pens. This was super helpful.
Happy to hear it, Bryana!!!
if u go to micheals they have the artist loft 2 sided markers for 2.50 us and useally theres a sale so u can get them for 1.50 us almost everytime and they the same as tombows and work very very good for very cheap
I almost feel like doing this for my second bullet journal. Wish I saw this video before I started! Not that don't like my official bullet journal note book, but I was always a fan of simplicity and saving a dollar when trying something new. Starting a bullet journal for the first time with the Leucttrum notebook is fun regardless but a little intimidating somehow, haha.
+MoonScar I get what you mean about the leuchtturm being intimidating....when I first started, I was scared to draw a simple line because I didn't want to ruin it's beautiful-ness haha
Colored pencils are also a go too, for me. I also like to make my own "sticker like". Things with double sided tape or glue stick and magazine clippings.. just a me thing. Cary on!
Oh very cool! DIY stickers seem so neat :)
This is a great idea! I love pencil colors. I'm gonna try it surely!! Thanks...
great video! Definitely sends a good message that you don't need expensive stuff for bullet journaling :)
+BC Books Thanks! 😀😀
Try Math grid notebooks! You can get the dotted feel for really cheap!
Great tip! :)
eilidh macleod I did that too! 😂
Moonliqht, you can very easily crop them down to A5 size since A5 is half of A4.
muji notebooks are stitch binded, dotted and are about 5 dollars. Idk if it sells online but it is really nice to use :)
Oh cool! I'll check them out!
omg yes !! i got this white one with dotted pages and it's soooo durable and pretty and nice haha it cost about $7 and it's super high quality and the pages are thick and dotted and aaa i love it so much ((:
Mariko Yoshida, There is a Muji Store near my house 😊
Michael's also sells a dot grid book in different colors for $5. The paper isn't as thick as the more expensive brands, but they are still decent quality if you are on a budget.
I checked muji's notebooks and found the numbers of pages at least 70 sheets, and i don't know if this enough
Love your handwriting and the fact that beauty does not lie in dollars
You could even make your own journal from scratch if you're into that kind of stuff. I work at Office Depot and I was making my first bullet journal. I bought a packet of grid paper for 4 bucks, a packet of card stock to separate the months for 10 bucks and I bound it all together with a spiral for 3 bucks. I had crayola markers and some pens at home ready to use! It was super fun to do the only thing that bugs me is the paper quality, I could've spent a little more on the paper (the paper I bought bleeds quite a bit) but it serves its purpose. Next time I'll probably spend a bit more on the paper itself now that I see it's important to me.
I think you might also enjoy crayons supertips markers! I got a 50 pack for $10 (US). The price fluctuates a lot depending on where you go and the time but sometimes I've been them for even cheaper (like $7!) You can find them pretty much anywhere that has Crayola products :)
I'm just recommending them because there are a ton of colors to choose from!
50 pack for just 10 dollars? woah!
This is the level I want to be at 😍
+Vanessa V 😊😊 Thanks, Vanessa!
I love this and the message you're sending out!! Stationery can be ridiculously expensive, and it sucks, but it's nice to see people out there who create content like you to offer more affordable and accessible alternatives.
Thank-you so much! Yeah, my goal with this video was to show it's possible to stay organized using supplies you probably already have :)
Its my birthday today and i got a lined journal that i plan on using as a bullet journal. This video was very helpful!
+Laura Lu Yay!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!! **throws confetti** 😊
+Caitlin's Corner thank you so much for replying!😃 you reply was a great gift 😊
The only notebook I have at hand is a lined once, so I searched all over the Internet to find a good tutorial, how to bullet journal with lined paper, because I am interested. This was really helpful, thanks! The only problem may be is I think the lines in my notebook are quite dark... I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks again for the awesome video👏👏📔
Trying to fix my study habits for next term and wanted a way to keep motivated without wasting my limited free time so thought I would use a cute notebook I bought and give in to the bullet journal hype. Thank you for these tips and also the visual of a monthly habit tracker. I don't know if other youtubers I watch do it weekly or if they just make them so fancy it confuses me. Can't wait to get organized and productive
I just started my own bullet journal and I love this!! So simple 😍
+Kaylin Jo Yay! Thanks, Kaylin!
Omg thank God!!!!!
I thought I would get cursed for using a lined journal but tysm now I know how to make a spread like that and I'm not the only one!
Thanks luv!!
I was waiting for a lined page journal idea! Thank you! 🙌
You're welcome! Happy to deliver! 😊
This is actually cute.
Since i can't get the bujo dot grid i am currently using a math grid typw notebook as my bujo
When you always wanted to start bullet journaling and you realise you have all the supplies already. YAY!!! Such a helpful video, thank you.
Wahooo! So glad the video helped you out :)
I have been watching all your journal videos and they have helped me realise what I want to do with mine. Your student videos helped me out the mose as I'm going to start my GCSE year next year, so thank you soooooooo much !!!
I'm looking for some inspo so this was super helpful. This year I'm saving money, I want so bad to buy a brand new notebook, but I think I'll be reusing a ruled notebook which has only 5 pages filled. I hope I can really work well with it 💕
No music blocking speech! THANK YOU !
Great video! Feels needed as not everyone is into the very fancy, aka pricey, bujo. Great content 10/10
+gjmusic Thanks 😍
So fricking handy. I'm 10 and just bought three new notebooks (three for £4.00) at my local Sainsbury's. Honestly helped me so much!! Thanks xx
Bravo! Just as the Ryder Carroll encourages - any notebook/pen will work & customize it so it works for you. Best BuJo vid I've seen in a long time! I'll have to check out the Crayola markers. I'm currently using a set of four "Sanford Accent Dry Pencils" which were designed for highlighting in Bibles, thus no bleed-through. Very happy with them but I've had them forever and eventually they'll dry out...maybe...but the Crayolas look similar, just a bit wider.
I've been using a notebook I got from walmart as a bullet journal. I was gonna try and buy the Leuchtturm for the second half of my bullet journal but then I found another on sale notebook at walmart so I'm gonna use that. I was able to fit 6 months on the notebook I currently use. :D
Ooooh very neat! There's lots of options out there! 😊
this is perfect! I've been trying to use up the line journals I already have at home before I go out and buy a new one.
What I've done to help save money on journaling is by making my own notebooks/journals (usually they're Field Notes style notebooks if I just want to keep it simple and easy). Definitely recommend checking out Sea Lemon's videos about making them! There are some great videos from her on making some easy saddle-stitched/stapled notebooks or ways to make notebooks out of supplies at DollarTree.
This is the best! Bullet Journaling always seems so expensive with the fancy notebooks and pens, but your video proves otherwise. Yay, for cheap supplies!
Your videos are awesome! love this one especially! Something inexpensive that I use for my bullet journal is washi tape! sometimes I go to places like Office Depot or Michaels and I find washi tape anywhere from $.50 to $2.00. So that's another fun way to make your bullet journal pretty without breaking the bank. :)
+Stephanie Finne oooh washi tape is a great idea! You're right, you can get them for a really good price too :) Thanks, Stephanie!
Very helpful not the budget itself but the spread you've done imagine if you have budget for stickers and stuff. Your hand writing is beautiful. :D
I love these ideas. I'm new to journaling & starting with things I already have while I see what works for me & what I like. I'm definitely going to try a couple of these spread ideas. I'm already finding the horizontal daily may not be for me - I may try the vertical design next month.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Love this one especially! I will be visiting Canada in the Alberta Beach area at the end of July! And I love it up there!! Just wanted to let you know lol! Love your videos I am motivated everytime I watch!
THANKS JENNA! Ohhh that sounds so exciting...hope you enjoy your visit here! I really appreciate your sweet comment :)
i think my bullet journal experience is going to be even cheaper. i have a journal that i got for $3 (australia) and im going to buy a black pen and the erasable gel pens that you showed in another video. very excited
+scar lett Even better! You could definitely find cheaper products...especially if you're buying things on sale 👌
Caitlin's Corner so far i've only used stuff i own. $0 spent so far except for the journal which ive had for a while.
That's awesome-sauce! 😍
Love this tutorial, bullet journals should be functional first and pretty second. I love how you were still able to make cute headers using the cheaper supplies!
+Hannah-Beth Floyd Thanks, Hannah!
your bujo ideas are so awesome, creative, easy & fast to recreate!!
This video help me soooo much to think of things i can do! My parents are broke and they only can afford crayola! I have always wanted to do bulket journaling and now i god inspirer to begin !
I loved this!! One of the best for me bullet journal tutorials I've seen!!
This was amazing! I found it neatly organized and helpful. Love the gratitude section.
Thanks, Mayra! It's one of my favourites too :)
This is about as realistic as it gets. This video is appreciated!
I know I’m late to this party, but love this concept! Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome vid keep up the inspirational videos don't stop don't forget there are tons of people watching you and feeling inspired to do stuff and be productive hopefully you get more subs because you deserve so much more your videos are helpful and helping me in high school you are amazing. Also you're really pretty
+Emma Brown WOW, Emma! You sure know how to make a girl feel special....thanks for your comment and support ❤️
Thank you for the video! I actually use lined pages because there isn't any dot pages notebooks and the shipping to my country is kinda expensive, so yep it actually inspires me to try other designs! Hope you're having a nice day! 😊💕
Yeah, shipping prices can get insane! Glad the video inspired you....and thank-you! I hope you're having a splendid day as well :D
Thank You so very much for this video! It came at the best time because, along with the 2pk of an A5 dot grid journal, I also purchased a beautiful journal with lined pages. So this video came at the PERFECT time and with wonderful inspiration as well...
Thank You...Laura💖☕📑📝😍
+The Lettering Virgo Oh that's so wonderful to hear Laura!! Congrats on your new journals 😍😍
One of the greatest video which gave many ideas for those students who are saving money.
😊😊😊
Thanks, I have a really cute hardbacked lined journal I wanted to use, thanks for showing some spreads for think kind of book.
Omg ilysm you're so underrated AAAAAA
I just needed this video and you made it. Thanks for all your invaluable effort. Hope for more like this. Bless you.
That makes me SO happy to hear that! Thanks, Sahil! 😀
Caitlin's Corner 😊😊😊
Thank you creating this video💕💕 looking forward this kind of this video
+Nurain Abdul Halip my pleasure!
Ahh I just started a lined journal so thank you for the lined journal inspo!
*YOU ARE SO FREAKING UNDERRATED*
I like using Sharpie pens, a pack of two is about the same price (if a little cheaper) and it writes super smooth, looks like one of the super fancy expensive korean pens on paper, but easier and cheaper to get. Also, they make those pens in a ton of colors so they're great for bullet journaling :) I love your videos and they help me figure out my best layout for journaling and you're super sweet and easy to watch (unlike some other pretty obnoxious youtubers...) so thanks!! Have a wonderful day :D
Emma Newson
Is there any line variation? And is it more marker like or pen like? I borrowed a metallic grip expensive sharpie pen and I really liked the variation and the marker likeness, but I'm wondering if the art pens are similar. Sorry for bothering you.
No bother! It's a really interesting combination of pen and marker. It writes and feels like a pen when you hold/use it, but it looks very Sharpie-y on the paper without the bleeding ink. The color is VERY black and doesn't smear like ball point pen ink usually does and again no bleeding or indent on the page. The art ones are the same type and writing feel as the metal ones, but a bit cheaper and obviously a different package/case. I like both, but because of the price and size of the pen itself (I have very small hands!) I like the art pens more.
I'm very serious about my debating and my debate team, so taking notes quickly and precisely is very important and these pens get the job done!!! Love and highly reccomend.
Emma Newson
Thank you!
The ink doesn't bleed if you have good paper and dont go through it too many times, if you get a tip thats not fine, (regular) Than it might bleed through
Thank you so much for this awesome video on a ruled notebook journal. I really needed an inspiration on this and Now, I have ended up creating one bullet journal similar to the one shown in this video :)
This is a great bujo---even on a budget! When using a cheaper notebook, you feel more ok with making a mistake.😂 This is so simple but so nice!
I appreciate that this video is useful for a lot of people, but for me, $20 is A LOT of money. I'd love to see spreads for the cheap, 8.5x11 notebooks that you can sometimes get for under a dollar.
Thank you so much I made my happy planner into a bullet journal I use the mambi lined and graph paper to do that I would truly love to see some more of these types of spreads. Thank You Thank You!!!!
Thank-you so much, Cyndi!! Glad you enjoyed the video !!
Bless chapters Indigo, honestly
So you CAN do fancy lettering with Crayola! Wow i'm gonna definitely start my bullet journal this way
+Zuramama wahoo 🤣!
I’m definitely gonna do this because dotted note books( the ones you see people use for there bullet journal ) are so expensive in Canada!!
Thanks God, this is what I needed :) Your video is simple but awesome!
I've never wanted to bullet journal until now 😍
Wahoo! I support getting one!
wow this is so cute! great handwriting
Thank you for this! I have a lot of lined paper notebooks and I wanted to make my first bullet journal but most of them what people do are the dotter paper one.
+imageannetionfilms Glad the video could help
Thanks for this amazing video!!! I have a beautiful lined note that I didn't use and actually I was planning to use it for journaling but I don't know how to use it. But this video helped to get an idea for using it and what kinds of pen can I use and in low budget!!!!
I'm just waiting for this month to end, I wanna starty bujo on my birthdate month! 😄
My bullet journal is lined. For this reason I cant do beautiful things. So thank you very much you are the best
I needed this.
+Pastelally 😊😊😊
This video was super useful THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
+Jackie Poglodek YOU'RE SO WELCOME!
If you have a Flying Tiger near you, definitely check it out. The quality is a little low, but it works.
Great video! Thanks for all the info 😊
Thanks, Lynne !!
This is exactly what I needed
Yay!!
If you want a cheap, good quality dot grid notebook/journal, I would recommend Miliko Transparent Hardcover A5 dot grid journal. You can get a pack of 2 for 12.99 ( 80 pgs ea.) on Amazon. Also, for cute simple layouts, BeautyByStarlet has stencils on her Etsy shop for a good price as well. She has a YT channel demonstrating how she uses them if you want to check her out.
Thank soo much for doing this!!!!!! Loved it!! :)
Yay!! Thank-you, Alyssa!!
I love how to take the time to answer comments
It's my favourite thing to do :)
Guys please remember that bullet journaling isn’t for the “looks” and the “aesthetic” it’s for fun and to stay organized you don’t need 100$ products just make it your taste and how you want it to look
🙊🙉 love this 😍 I have to start mine
Wahoo! I agree 😊
I want to know what your audio setup is for this video. It sounds great.
YESSSSSSSS
Great video...👍
You posted this video on my birthday 😱
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS I AM JUST STARTING OUT ON JOURNALING AND EVERYTHING AND THIS VIDEO GOT ME SO EXITED TO PURCHASE AND CREATE TOTALLY SUBSCRIBING THANK YOU!!!!!
YOU ARE SO VERY WELCOME!!! 😊
TYSM!! I'm planning to bullet journal and realized I don't need to buy much because I realized I already have everything here lol
Omg u help me sooooooo much
THANKYOU
This is amazing!!!!
Buying Crayola Markers right now lol, I need some >v
I'm twelve and I don't have allowance so this is PERFECT
Is the notebook a4 or a5
$20 is a lot and a little at the same time! The materials arent expensive, but it simply felt like it was because I've seen some of these materials for cheaper! TIP for all those who want more for their $20, buy during back to school time, or look for stores like walgreens or walmart for sales. Your $20 may stretch out even more :-))
Very true Erica...you can definitely get more bang for your buck if you look out for sales 😊
i know this is for lined paper/people on a budget, but on Amazon they sell 8.5 x 11 dot grids for $4.25 (which would most likely round to $4.50, also, its Prime Eligible.), it's just not the name brand leuchtturm or moleskine. I can't attest for the quality as of yet (as in bleeding and amount of potential ghosting, and how well it holds glue and paint and other things), since I haven't purchased it, but I thought it was a nice find and a option for my budget bujo friends! The one I'm linking is black, but the store sells them in lots of colors and paper types, including blank notebooks, which includes a Marble cover option.

I'm using a lined Five Star notebook for mine right now, but this is the next notebook I will purchase!
(Edit) Each notebook has about 100-106 pages in it.
woohoo canada!
Wahoooooo indeed, LOL!
Thanks 😄♡
My journal is actually in a composition notebook
I'm from the US but awesome video
Doesn't the sheet with the markers transfer or will it be the notebook?
I hope someone can answer me
So I do tutoring and stuff along with my journaling. And in the GTA, almost every dollarama I've been to has every single type of crayola supplies. that pack of 10 you have there I picked up for $3. Better yet, I was actually at a Dollar tree today and saw ALL THE SUPPLIES. EVERYTHING (yes even packs of 48 crayola supertip markers) for $1.25!!!!!!! maybe do another video where you raid a dollar store and expose all the hidden gems!
+MiszSimmz That's amazing!! Yeah that could be an idea 👌 Dollar store is great for the kind of stuff :)
Caitlin's Corner OMG YOU REPLIED!!!! *fangirling* hi 😁😁😁😁😁😁
^^that's the cutest reaction....Hiiiiiii 😜
It's just like most people on UA-cam expect you to have the money to buy all of the supplies.
Could you do one with a blank journal?
FINALLY
I was gonna do this but then i realized that i was left handed and the spring hurt😥
There are hard cover journals that don't have springs don't give up it's really fun they sell hard cover journals at Michael's Walmart and Walgreens 💗although Michael might be closed but Walmart and Walgreens definitely have them
