What is a floral bullet journal?
A floral bullet journal (or "floral bujo") is a personal organization method that combines planning, creativity, and floral aesthetics. Notebooks adorned with watercolor flowers, pastel dividers, botanical stickers... it's the stationery trend that all lovers of beauty are swooning over.
In this tutorial, we'll guide you step-by-step to create your own floral bullet journal, even if you're not an artist!
What you'll need
🌸 The ideal starter kit
To start your floral bullet journal, here are the essentials:
- A dotted notebook (dot grid) — A5 size is perfect for beginners
- Fine-tipped pens for tracing and lettering
- Watercolor brush pens for floral illustrations
- Floral stickers for effortless decoration
- A bookmark to quickly find your page
💌 Good news: the Maison Majjaa Personalized Mini Stationery Kit includes the essentials in a pretty beige pouch — a floral notepad, bookmark, and motivational card. Perfect for starting or gifting!
Step 1 — Choose your floral theme
Before you start, choose a coherent universe for your bullet journal:
- Peonies & Roses → dusty pink, burgundy, sage green tones
- Wildflowers → honey yellow, lavender, off-white tones
- Eucalyptus & Greenery → green, beige, gold tones
- Japanese Cherry Blossoms → pale pink, white, black tones
Choose 3-4 colors maximum to maintain visual consistency throughout your notebook.
Step 2 — The essential pages
The cover page
This is the first page of your bullet journal. Write the year, your name, and illustrate it with flowers in your chosen theme. No need to be an artist — floral stickers work perfectly!
The index
Reserve the first 2-4 pages for your index (table of contents). You'll note the number of each page and its content as you go.
The annual calendar (Future Log)
A two-page spread with 12 miniature months to jot down important upcoming events.
The monthly calendar
At the beginning of each month, create a page with the month's calendar and a list of your goals. This is where the floral decor shines!
The weekly log
Your most used page — a 7-day view with your tasks, appointments, and notes. Add a small floral illustration in the corner to make it unique.
Step 3 — Easy floral techniques
🌿 The simple leaf
Draw a central line (the stem), then small oblique lines on each side. Color it green. This is the basis of all botanical compositions!
🌸 The 5-petal flower
Draw a small circle in the center, then 5 oval petals around it. Color with a watercolor brush pen, leaving the center lighter.
✨ The sticker trick
Don't feel like drawing? Repositionable floral stickers are your best friends. Stick them on your pages for a professional look in 30 seconds.
Step 4 — Floral lettering
Lettering (or modern calligraphy) is the finishing touch that makes all the difference. The basic rule: press hard on the downstroke, lightly on the upstroke.
To practice, start by writing the months of the year in lettering — it's short and you can reuse them throughout the year.
