Instagram and Pinterest are great for that : tons of pictures showing gorgeous spreads and lots of supplies. But supplies have a cost! So here’s a list of products for your bullet journal, all items being under 10$!

Black Sharpie Pens

Let’s start with an essential : a black pen! Sharpie pens bring you the same quality as Sharpie markers but without the bleed-through. Their fine tip deliver a quick-drying and smear proof ink.

 

Staedtler Triplus Fineliners

If you want to add color to your pages, I highly recommend those pens. Staedtler Triplus Fineliners are good-quality products. The ink dries quickly and doesn’t bleed through paper. The 0.8 tip gives a line width of 0.3mm which is perfect to write and draw in a bullet journal.

 

Crayola Supertips

Another way to add colors in your bullet journal is to use highlighters. Frixion highlighters are erasable! Isn’t this great? Simply use the rubber eraser tip at the top of the highlighter to make the ink disappear! This set features nice and soft colors.

 

Tombow Fudenosuke

The Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen is perfect for calligraphy. Its flexible brush tip can create extra-fine medium strokes. The water-based ink doesn’t bleed through paper. It takes a little bit of training to master calligraphy with this pen, but the tip and the ink are great!
