Inspirational Header Ideas For Your Bullet Journal
No matter your creative style, there are header ideas for you. That's why I gathered inspiration from many different creators in this post.
They all have different styles and use different types of pens, so I'm sure you'll find something that clicks with you.
Let's dive in!
Let's start with this beautiful set of colorful headers. As you can see, there are options for all types of styles, from brush lettering headers to header ideas made with just a ballpoint pen.
No matter what you choose to do there is always a way to make it look amazing.
Or maybe these aestehtic headers are more up your alley! They have more details and probably take a bit more work, but it's absolutely worth it since they all look so intricate and charming.
For me, it's all about color, so here is a set of easy and colorful header ideas. As you can see, they are all pretty easy to do, and only a few require brush lettering, but even so, you can always switch to faux calligraphy.
Speaking of brush lettering, if you're looking for an elegant and simple style for your headers, here are a few ideas.
If you don't know brush lettering yet, you can do what I used to do - draw the letters in pencil and then use a pen to create the calligraphy effect.
If cute and doodly is more your style, check out these inspirations! With just a few doodles and other little effects, the creator turned each letter into an absolute cuteness!
These title ideas are pretty easy to recreate, but they still look great, and will ensure that all your entries stand out.
This creator challenged themselves to create as many headers as possible in 35 minutes, and I think the result is many fun and creative ideas you'll find inspiring.
Of course, just because these are header ideas for April doesn't mean that you can't use them for any other purpose. And even though a lot of these are brush-lettered, a lot are not, so you have plenty of choices for beautiful and elegant headers.
Let's go minimalist and try headers that will only require you to use one pen. These are great for a quick entry, like on your weekly or daily spreads.
I know I love using ALL the colors, but here is a great demonstration of how much you can achieve if you use just two colors. Find the good combination of matching colors, and your headers will look stunning!
Looking for header ideas specifically for your weekly spreads? Here is a set of them, and everyone is better than the previous one. This set really shows you how much variety you can get if you play around with other different elements of your headers.
Tombow Dual Brush pens are some of the best brush pens on the market, and they come in a wide variety of colors. These are just a few ideas for using your favorite brush pens to create something special on your journal pages.
We saw a lot of headers with many colors for each letter, but here are some ideas on how you can use color around the letters to create new and interesting designs.
I adore how creative The Petite Planner got with these headers! Adding floral doodles, a washi tape effect, and the gradient are all amazing examples of leveling up your titles.
This is just a scream of Fall aesthetic! But don't be fooled; try out different color combinations, and these ideas will be perfect for any season of the year.
Just because we did a lot of header ideas with many colors doesn't mean we can't create stunning headers with just black and white. Here are a few examples!
And if you're wondering, for white on the black effect, I'd recommend using a white gel pen like these Sakura Gelly Roll pens.
Last but not least is this set of pink header ideas. Personally, I adore this shade of pink and how it contrasts with the black. But you can definitely try out different color combinations, and they will still look amazing!
