90+ Simple And Creative Bullet Journal Header And Title Ideas

Hello Planning Mashers!

Today we will be looking into a simple way to up your pages – Bullet Journal headers. And I have a ton to share with you.

These cute journal title ideas will be perfect to elevate your pages and make 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 start by going through some supplies you might want to use for your headers, and then we’ll do black and white titles, colorful header ideas, monthly title ideas, holiday headers, weekly header ideas, and finally – artistic titles.

There is a lot to unpack here so let’s get started!

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 Detailer 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.

Ok, let’s look into different header ideas.

Simple Black and White Headers

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 really looks amazing on your Bullet Journal pages.

You can easily make your titles more interesting if you add some banners to the mix.

Be sure to check my post Easy and Creative Bullet Journal Banners for some more ideas.

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 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 a lot of 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 to use White Sakura Gelly Roll pen, they really are the best white gel pens I’ve ever tried.

How pretty are these titles, and so very simple to create!

These are perfect for your weekly or daily spreads.

If you want to add some color to your headers here are tons of ideas for you.

From bright colors to sweet pastels you can find here inspirations for any style you like.

We are starting from this beautiful peach kind of color. Honestly, for a creative person, I’m so bad with colors!

But this color is beautiful this I can see and I think these ideas will work so well for summer-themed pages.

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.

I really liked how she plays with colors here and created frames and banners just in color instead of using black. Such a fun way to be unique with your headers.

These ideas are so cute and I absolutely love the happy bright orange color.

For me, it screams sunflowers! Or maybe bees and honey.

I love how bright and happy these colors are.

Plus it’s really fun to see the contrast here between the rough block letters and more gentle cursive kind of headers.

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

Using just the two colors really creates a beautiful monochrome look.

Love these titles and how each one of them is in a different color. It really shows how much difference color can make.

It’s amazing how much dimension and accents you can get from playing around with color.

I think the orange one is my favorite, but it’s really hard to pick just one. They all look beautiful and very exquisite.

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 requite simply block lettering, and that’s a pretty easy one to draw.

These blue headers are great and can be used for both winter and ocean themes.

I think it’s pretty cool that the artist decided to use the word blue to do those headers. It would be fun though to play a joke on the brain and write 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, 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.

Which one is my favorite? The bottom one! I think it’s so creative to use the black lines for half a letter, and it required zero blending, which is always a plus for me. Blending is not my strong suit.

Of course, we have some months like October, December, or maybe even February where it’s all about that one holiday.

So why not add the fun festive mood to your headers as well? Here are a few fun ideas for you to explore.

Of course, we had to start with some Christmas ideas, since it is one of the biggest holidays of the year!

So I did my best to find a few ideas that can add more fun and creativity to your weekly spreads.

Simple and yet so beautiful headers.

These will look great on your daily spreads and can work for a weekly log as well if you make them a bit smaller.

Artistic Headers

Want to do a little bit extra with your headers? I have a few ideas for you as well.
