Do you love to add note doodles to your bullet journal? They are a great way to relieve stress and make your spreads adorable. Plus, it's a great way to complete essential tasks and stand out, making it easy to prioritize your tasks and remember important events.
And who doesn't need a reminder to get things done?
So why bother with doodling and decorating your planner? I find making your planner aesthetically pleasing will make you enjoy using it daily. Plus, taking a little time out of your day to zone out, get creative, and unload your mind is good for you!
So take a breather from life, enjoy the little things, and have some fun drawing some bujo sticky note doodles!
step by step note doodles
I've added so many note doodles to my spreads, but I wanted to see how many I could come up with for this post.
It's a great exercise to encourage you to get creative, and you can mix and match many of these elements to come up with your unique note doodles.
So when coming up with these different paper note doodles, I thought of all the other papers and sticky notes I have seen in stationery stores.
Although regular notebook paper may seem tedious, drawing a miniature doodle is cute.
The next doodle is a clipboard, and I added grid paper just for fun.
The last doodle reminds me of an arrow banner with a simple shadow to add some dimension. Adding some dashed lines and check box makes a great to-do list.
When thinking of different notes styles, I thought of drawing some:
- ripped out paper from a notebook
- vintage-inspired scroll
- adding cute paper clips
- postcards
- washi tape

You don't need to add shadows, but I find adding simple shadowing to any doodle or font takes it to the next level. Once you get the hang of adding some shades, you seem to want to add them to everything!!
how to draw bullet journal note doodles
Changing up the size of your bullet journal note doodles is excellent for adding variety. So, although they may have the same elements, switching up the placement will give you a different drawing. For example, you can add the binder on the side or the top of the notebook.
So by simplifying things, getting creative with your doodles is easier than you think. Just mix and match and switch things up!
I almost love drawing washi tape as much as I love using it. Then you can add simple patterns to your washi tape to finish off your drawing.
Drawing frames is another great way to add a few key points you want to remember.
Some other doodles I came up with included:
- keychains
- polaroids
- planners and notebooks
- old torn paper
