Create your own memo notes

A colourful mix of notes for your bullet journal

If you want to make a note of something, you don't always have to reach for a big notepad. That's because a bullet journal is the ideal place for drawing your own custom memos. You can create your reminder notes any way you like, in all manner of shapes, sizes and colours. They can feature lines or grids, for instance, or they can be in the style of a pinboard or as a speech bubble. Just let your imagination run wild! To brighten up your daily routine, you can vary the designs with added embellishments and colourful features such as pinboard pins or washi tape. The pens in the Colour Happy Big Box offer a huge selection of fibre pens, brush pens and fineliners – perfect for designing the pages of your bullet journal.

Step-by-step

Step 1

To design your memo notes, you'll need the following pens from the Colour Happy Big Box, in your choice of colours: edding 1340 brush pens, edding 1300 colour pens and an edding 1800 precision fineliner.

Step 2

Think about how you want your page layout to look, then sketch it out in pencil. Features such as bows, symbols, borders and headings can provide variety and result in a decorative overall appearance. The borders don't always have to be precisely drawn, but you can use a ruler if you prefer.

Step 3

Once you have completed the layout, use fibre pens to colour in the various elements in whatever way you wish. The soft brush tip of the edding 1340 is great for adding really beautiful highlights.
