Supplies
You don’t need a hundred washi tapes and the full range of Tombow brush pens to keep a beautiful and beneficial bullet journal, but every now and then something fancy may catch your eye - and I say if it makes your life easier or more enjoyable, it’s worth it! These are the materials I use to make my journal come to life.

General Stationery:
⭒Glue tape - this stuff will change your life! Makes glueing scrapbook-style bits of paper into your journal much easier. Use my code ERIN for 12% off!
⭒Correction tape - A great way to cover mistakes - just be careful when writing over it!
⭒Craft knife - Great for making Dutch doors or cut-outs in your pages
⭒Cutting mat - essential to protect your desk and other pages while using the cutting knife
⭒Mechanical pencil - Essential for planning out your spreads before you commit to ink
⭒Eraser - much better to erase a pencil mistake than to make a mistake in pen!
