How I Journal
Hello, This is Ara :)
In this time, I made a video about how I journal
Many people asked me about how I journal
Actually, I also didn't have a chance to think about it
When I thought about it, I found my own routine
So I'm going to talk about that with you :)
The style of my journal is very different from now
I started journal from March last year
I remember it was my birthday when I started journaling
This is the first page I made
My first diary was a 6 ring binder with dates on it
I used to decorate on Monthly and Weekly pages
My journal skill is better now, but I had more passion at that time
But only with passion without experience,
I didn't even know the style that I want
So, I didn't know what kind of stationery to buy
I sometimes regret buying things that I don't need
The first thing I want to say to those who want to journal is...
to look at a lot of journal pictures you want to do
Maybe there are many kinds of journaling
Junk journal, vintage, bullet journal, decorating with cute stickers...
So on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest,
look at many examples and try to make your favorite styles
then you'll be able to start easily
I've changed a lot from my early diary decoration style
In the beginning, I used a lot of stickers
These days, I'm trying to draw and use calligraphy
After many trials and errors, I found my current style
I don't think it's complete yet
But if you keep doing it, at some point,
you'll find out what your style is
Everything needs time :)
To show you the diary that I've written so far
At first, I was using this 6 ring binder
and I bought a new blank notebook
I wanted to use a notebook without Monthly or Weekly pages
I bought this because the 6 ring binder is uncomfortable when writing
I tried many different styles on this notebook. Haha
While using this note, I bought another one
I went to Esther Bunny's pop-up store and bought it on impulse
I just made up my mind that I don't have such a cute and big size one
But I guess the A5 size 6 ring binder didn't fit me well
It took too long to decorate and the paper was thin, so it was hard to color
I ended up using it and kept it on my bookshelf...
If you're novice to journal
Small notes will be easier than big ones
Small ones are easy to plan and spread
Because I'm an impulsive person
I bought this green 6 ring binder
from Taobao...
I take out the pages that I decorated and store them separately
I've been writing this diary for a long time
I don't have time to show you all of this, so I'll make it a flip through video next time
These are the two most recent notes I bought
This pink 6 ring binder is also from Taobao
at the same store of green one
I started using this binder from January
I used it for a couple of period however I wanted to watercolor in my diary,
I found a notebook that's okay to paint on it
This Reverie journal was found on Instagram
It has paper that didn't show on the back even if I painted on it
So I can draw easily and use paint
But this is also A5 size
When I want to do quick journal or put on thick lace,
I use A6 6 ring binder
Look at the difference in size
Now I'll tell you how I journal while I'm doing it myself
I tend to choose a theme or color before journaling
Today's theme is "What I did on last weekends"
I went to IKEA over the weekend, so I'll draw and paste what I shopped there
Next, decide the color or spread and take out my stationery items
This coffee beans bag is mint, so I chose mint and orange
I'm not going to use all of them, but I find what I think suits on the page
I put them on my desk
It takes long time to find items and spread them
Sometimes I don't use half of what I took out
I can't check my all stationery, so I usually take them out as colors
After taking it out, I think about the layout
I'll cut this on the right side
I'm going to write a big letter in the upper left corner
Add this car, too
Start journal now
I'm going to write September 4th
I use glue stick and tape runner alternately
use glue stick on thick paper
tape runner on thin paper, lace and etc.
Tape runners stick well but it's expensive LOL
The coffee bag from IKEA is pretty, so I'm going to stick it on
I used tape runner on this paper, too. I was afraid paper would wrinkle
Since I went to IKEA, I'll put on furniture stickers
And then I sketched a bit
I'm drawing a cat tunnel that I bought from IKEA
These are the itmes I bought
I'll put on stickers that resemble Chuchu and Coco
I drew myself shopping while looking at the shopping list
I'll use this sticker instead of IKEA shopping bag. Haha
I wrote the explanation next to the drawing
Did I get all I want?
The chewy chocolate cake that I ate
I bought a steel vase that looks like this
I wanted to buy an artificial flower bouquet, but it was sold out, so I couldn't buy it and only bought a vase...
I keep a diary now
I usually write a diary at the end of journal
At the initial stage, I think about where to write in my diary
It's done!
Today, I talked about how I journal
Tell me how you journal :)
Thank you for watching!
