This post is all about October Bullet Journal Cover Ideas

What Is A Bullet Journal?

A bullet journal is a DIY planner that you make to suit your needs. The whole point is that it follows a ‘bullet’ system when it comes to to-do lists that helps you easily take track of your lists. Over the years, bullet journalling has evolved into something more. You can make your journal as artsy or as minimalist as you want; it’s all good as long as it keeps you organised.

If you are yet to start a bullet journal or are looking to get more seriously into journalling, I 100% recommend a STM journal. The pages are super thick and white on these and they come in a range of colours.

I will not shut up about these markers, and there’s a reason. For the price point, these dual tip markers are phenomenal. Within this pack you also get a great selection of oranges and browns that can be used in a variety of spreads.

If you’re still unsure how to start a bullet journal definitely check out my guide on ‘How To Start A Bullet Journal,’ which is perfect for beginners! This post links some of the best essentials you need to start your journal.

1. Mystical Moon Phases

october bullet journal cover ideas

@loashleybujos

We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous moon phase cover spread. I am obsessed with the moon phases, the hands, the stars, the lettering… it’s all just absolutely perfect for both Halloween and October!

2. October Bullet Journal Cover Pumpkin Patch

@dark_sunlight

Getting into pumpkin territory now with this dark pumpkin patch spread. The eariness of this spread is great for Halloween as it combines spookiness, graveyards and some thorns.

3. Abstract Florals

@prettyllamaplans

This abstract October bullet journal cover spread is the embodiement of fall. We have the very warm tones of autumn leaves and the greys of the clouds. This is a lovely spread if you are looking for something different, away from the traditional October bullet journal themes.

4. October Bullet Journal Cover Bats!

october bullet journal cover bats

@sarahs.bulletjournal

I don’t know about you but whenever I see green slime I automatically think of Nickelodeon (and so I think of Drake and Josh and Keenan and Kel #notcomplaining.) The snot slimey radioactive green colour paired with the black cobwebs and bats is a Halloween signature.

Also the lettering on this is insane!

Definitely try something like this out – especially the cobwebs, they are SO cool!

5. Disney Halloween

@bulletjournalbychloe

So many cute Halloween Mickeys, I am finding it so hard to pick my favourite! This spread from Chloe is super cute and something I recommend every Disney fan should try.

6. October Bullet Journal Cover School!

@studywithkiara

Kiara is the embodiment of her username in this post. There’s something about studying that makes everything seem super cosy and October-y.

What’s great about this spread is that you can make it super personable and add your own things onto the desk/ bookshelf.

7. October Bullet Journal Cover Halloween

@bujo.by.kathy

Kathy’s spread is SO gorgeous. The falling leaves are so pretty and the autumnal yellows and reds are great for the fall season. The lettering is also cute and suits the spread well.

9. October Bullet Journal Cover Ghost

@kayla.bujos

Kayla has made this ghost look so cool, like I am jealous of a ghost 😂. This spread is great because it combines both ghosts for Halloween and barley and brown tones for October!

10. Woodland Banner

@_starfishdesigns_

How frickin cute is this? This autumnal banner is popping from the page and makes this october bullet journal cover page look 3D.

I can’t get over the hedgehog or the pumpkin.

@wilbujofor.treats

This October cover spread gives off major Harry Potter Womping Willow vibes and I am here for it. If you want to create somethings similar, definitely check out the Sakura Micron pens, perfect for all drawing, writing, and lettering.

12. October Wreath

@paigejacquelinejournalir

Another stunning autumnal wreath to try in your bullet journal. This wreath is probably much more simple to recreate than the other wreath. What’s lovely about this one is the cute little ghosts and spiders, and you can also change up the colours.

13. October Bullet Journal Cover Minimalist

october bullet journal cover ideas easy

@temi.journals

I love Temi’s use of different mediums in this spread. She used kraft paper (from another bullet journal) and stuck it in on this journal and used some white gelly roll pens to go over the kraft paper.

Super cute. Super lovely. Super autumnal!

14. October Bullet Journal Cover Autumnal Bouquet

october bullet journal cover leaves

@tangerinestrawberry

This bouquet idea is so great. The flowers in the bouquet can be swapped in terms of flower type and colours to whatever you like. You can make them as big/ small as you like.

The attention to detail in this spread is great, with the additions of the little apples and mushrooms.

15. Black and White Simple October Bullet Journal Cover Florals

october bullet journal cover minimalist

@nattysbujo

Using some Sakura Microns and scrap paper this gorgeous spread was created. No colour, no pumpkins, just a black and white autumnal floral.

If you want something simple and minimal, grab a fineliner and google some autumnal florals and get doodling!

RECREATE THIS SPREAD:

16. Autumnal Summer

october bullet journal cover orange

@danibujoart

The suns may not suggest autumn but its not autumn everywhere in the world is it? The yellows/ oranges are perfect for autumn/ spring. Dani has done a great job combining two seasons in this spread.

Also, how cute would this be if the suns were clouds/ coffee cups etc.
