January Bullet Journal New Years Cover
I love this Chinese New Year Spread! It’s really lovely to acknowledge holidays and special ocassions in your bullet journal because it makes your bullet journal yours.
A Party Themed January
This is giving Great Gatsby, art deco, let’s celebrate, party vibes and I love it!
So get out your markers and celebrate the new years in whatever colour scheme you would like!
Annie used some Tombow brush pens for this spread which are super good but also pretty expensive. Another great alternative for Tombow’s are these Hethrone dual brush pens (I SWEAR by these!)

This Beary Cute Theme
How cute (and complicated) does this look!? Thinking about it this is a bunch of lines going in all different directions to create a bear… insane! It also looks like it was made with just a regular black biro, so I guess none of us have an excuse not to be able to do this.
This Polaroid Camera Theme
Kia did such a great job with this camera bullet journal spread! If you have an interest in photography or keeping polaroids this is a great january bullet journal cover ideas.
One thig you can do is actually stick your own polaroids on the left to personalise your bullet journal even more!
Goal based Spread
Another stunning January bullet journal cover ideas! Combining constelations, the moon, and stars, this spread is hinting at the start of something new (the new year, i’m guessing lol).
This Art Deco Cover Idea
There was a time that the art deco style was all the rage in bullet journaling and I totally see why. I love the gold and silver this era bought. You cannot really go wrong with the shapes, lines, and dots, so all of us can do it.
Definitely pick up some gold/ silver metallic markers as I don’t think these spreads work as well without them!

A floral theme!
Another fun floral bullet journal spread idea. The flowers on this spread are a bit more complicated than the ones on the spread above but are super pretty!
The Most Simple January Bullet Journal Spread Ideas
Now when we said simple cover idea, i don’t think we can get anymore simpler than this! Just grab a marker and get to drawing severe straight lines!
This Book Theme!
For all of us bookish lovers, this vintage style january bullet journal cover is so lovely! If you are looking to get all the different thickness in your markers, my absolute favourite and those that have been used here are the Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliners! You will use them literally everyday!

A galaxy theme idea
If you’re like me and are obsessed with space and stars and all things ‘this is going to make me have an existential crisis,’ this looks fairly straight forward. Grab your fineliners and markers and get drawing some circles and stars.

Cafes in winter are always a good idea. If you enjoy a nice hot drink on a blistering cold day, this January bullet journal cover ideas is complicated but perfect for you.
