90+ Bullet Journal Header And Title Ideas
Today we will look into a simple way to up your pages – Bullet Journal title ideas. And I have a ton to share with you.
These cute journal title ideas will be perfect for elevating your pages and making them look so much more fun.
Adding more fun and creativity to your Bullet Journal is one of the parts I like the most about this system. But I must say – once you get comfortable with one type of header, it’s so easy to just stick with it.
It’s wonderful if you do, but chances are you might be looking into adding some more interest to your header repertoire, and I’m here to help with tons of ideas!
Headers are the things that set the theme for the page and its design, so it’s good to always have tons of options to choose from, so you can create something unique every time.
Here is how this post is organized – we’ll do black and white titles, colorful header ideas, monthly title ideas, holiday headers, and weekly header ideas; then we’ll talk about supplies you might want to have to create these headers and some more resources for you to get header ideas.
And there is a free creativity course for you at the end as well, so be sure to scroll to sign up.
There is a lot to unpack here, so let’s get started!
Simple Black and White Title Ideas
Let’s start with minimalism with some simple black-and-white headers.
An amazing thing about these is that you don’t even need to have any special calligraphy skills or extra supplies – just you and your black pen.
I love how cute these look, and all you need is a black pen and a grey marker.
Another awesome thing about these ideas – you don’t need to have any extra calligraphy skills.
I love how simple those are, and yet the little botanical elements make these headers look so unique and sweet.
You can check my post with Step By Step Flower Doodles to get some more ideas on floral elements you can use to decorate your banners.
These look so interesting with the contrast of different types of lettering and different colors, from dark black to light gray.
There are some elements of brush lettering; if you don’t know how to do it, check my Beginner’s Guide To Brush Lettering.
I love these headers, especially the ones with a drop shadow.
It’s been one of my favorite techniques, and it looks amazing on your Bullet Journal pages.
I love how adding a little bit of muted color adds to the design.
If you want to keep it black and white but still add something extra, I’d recommend using a grayscale set of Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
50 super fun and easy headers that, again – will not require you to be able to do brush lettering or any other type of calligraphy.
And with how small they are, it will definitely look great on your weekly spreads.
Another fun way to add accents without using many colors is by using metallic pens and markers.
Some of my favorites are Uniball Signo pens and Staedtler Metallic markers.
One more example of how some simple lines and banners can help you create stunning headers. My favorite effect is a white pen on black, I used it the first time in my Coffee-Themed Bullet Journal setup, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.
If you decide to create such an effect, I really advise using White Sakura Gelly Roll pen; they are the best white gel pens I’ve ever tried.
Colorful Bullet Journal Heading Ideas
If you want to add some color to your headers, there are tons of ideas for you.
From bright colors to sweet pastels, you can find here inspirations for any style you like.
This is a page with some ideas I came up with, and of course, as much as I love colors, I used my Zebra Mildliners to add some fun to these ideas.

How incredible are these galaxy-themed header ideas? It might not be what the creator was going for, but the colors just scream space and galaxy to me.

These headers look so classy, and I really love the subtle color hints.

I love the color madness of these headers. They are so bright and happy.
The patterns and colors are so bright, and I usually find that those are the hardest ones to match. But in this spread, they all fit perfectly.
These header ideas look so gentle, and the color is just amazing!
It made me think of the sea, summer, and mermaids.

I love Stabilo highlighters and their beautiful pastel colors, but be careful; sometimes they might ghost.
With such cute pastel colors, these headers will totally look great on your Spring Bullet Journal pages.
Speaking of pastels, if you’re looking to get some pastel-colored markers, I would absolutely recommend the Tombow Dual Brush pastel set. These were the first brush pens I ever got, and they are still my favorites.
With all these delicious yellow colors, I totally get why they chose the word honey for these title ideas.
I especially like the one with the ombre effect.
Cute headers, and I love how in the same headers, they used different colors.
Again it’s pretty cool how most of these require simply block lettering, and that’s a pretty easy one to draw.
There are so many fun ways to add color to your headers.
You don’t even need to use any special fonts to add more fun and character to your titles.
These blue headers are great and can be used for both winter and ocean themes.
I think it’s pretty cool that the artist used the word blue to do those headers. It would be fun, though, to play a joke on the brain and write the word red, for example, in blue color instead.
I love these headers, and the best part about them is that all you need are some colored pens; there is no need for any extra markers or brush pens. Perfect for beginners who haven’t built up a huge stationery collection yet as I did.

I also can’t figure out what pens were used for these, but I must say I really love the colors.

A lot of these are based on brush lettering, though, so this might not be a good option for everyone.
These look beautiful and absolutely remind me of a May theme I did in my very first Bullet Journal.
I love the first one with black leaves coming out; it creates such a beautiful contrast of colors.
Tons of amazing and super simple Bullet Journal header ideas.

Bullet Journal Header Supplies
You’re free to use any supplies you like, from a simple black pen to stickers and scrapbook paper.
However, I must mention a few of my favorites.
First, I think it’s essential to have a good fineliner, and thankfully, there are some amazing ones on the market.
My two favorites are Sakura Pigma Micron and Faber Castell Pitt Artists pens; they are the smoothest ones I’ve ever had.
However, on a more budget side, I’d strongly recommend Unipin fineliners – they are great and can withstand so much!
Another basis of the header making is probably color, and here I must mention my favorites – Tombow Dual Brush Pens, Zebra Mildliners, and on a budget side – Crayola Super Tips.
Recently I’ve also been going crazy about acrylograph pens form Archer and Olive – they don’t bleed, and the layering looks so beautiful. Be sure to check my Detailed Review of Archer and Olive Acrylograph Pens.
If you decide to get any of Archer and Olive products (like their amazing journals) be sure to use code MASHA10, which will give you 10% off your order.
