Bullet Journal Headers: Banners

Bullet Journals are so incredibly popular these days. With the hastening of 2019 let’s take a moment to break down some techniques for some things you can incorporate into your 2019 Bullet Journal! Today we’re making a comprehensive guide on how to draw Banners!

Banner headers are so cute for your Bujo spread. They add some character to a page. They look tricky until you realize exactly how easy they are! As for pens I’m currently drawing with Pigma Micron size 08 and 005 on sheets from my Fabriano Notebook.

The Classic BuJo Banner

This is the classic Bullet Journaling Banner. First I draw the curved portion, keeping in mind the length and height I am making the curve. Next, I box out the banner before drawing the back ribbon-esque portion. When drawing this back portion it’s important to make sure that the bend and the top are equal distance. This will help make the banner more realistic. Finally, add some vertical accent lines, shading, the inscription, and you’re finished!

This scroll bullet journal banner is a nice change of pace from the traditional banner and honestly a little bit easier to create. This banner is a short spiral before lengthening into the banner portion. Add in the vertical details and shading to finish out this banner.
