A notebook.

I highly recommend this notebook. It’s good quality and has raving reviews for a fraction of the cost. It equally good compared to other pricer bujo notebooks in the market. You don’t have to worry about bleeding through pages which means you can be more creative in your artwork and it’s super affordable.

 

It is a standard bullet journal notebook that comes in so many colors such as black, red, yellow, maroon, green and sky blue. It’s ink proof paper and acid-free, has stickers for labeling and archiving, opens flat so you can easily write and draw at all angles, has 249 numbered pages and has blank table of content which means you can easily work on it.


 

Amazing markers.

Great markers are perfect for color-coding and decorating your bullet journal.

Washi tape

They are perfect for adding borders, textures and for creating beautiful watercolor pattern. They make it easy to divide different events such as daily task or your daily goals. No residue meaning the tape won’t damage your surfaces.

 

This list shouldn’t intimidate you. The only thing you need to get started is a notebook and a pen but with the other supplies achieving great results for example some of these May bullet journal cover pages will be way easier to recreate. The supplies will save you time and recreating these beautiful May covers will be amazing .
