Stencils are a fantastic tool to add creativity to your Bullet Journal pages, and there are so many different ones that will help you with everything, from adding beautiful lettering to helping with the functional side of your spread setup.
This fantastic set of stencils offers you all that and even more, all without making a big impact on your wallet.
I find that having a good set of brush pens is a must-have. They help with adding brush lettering, drawing, and generally sizing up your pages. Thankfully, they don't have to be too expensive, either.
These pens are some of the best, especially if you're just starting to learn brush lettering. They also have a small brush tip size, so you can use them to create smaller elements on your pages. And the price will pleasantly surprise you!

This is one of my favorite rulers and an item I always recommend. This little ruler stencil will be your best friend when it comes to creating any type of circle elements on your Bullet Journal pages.
