Create Your Own Spring Vibes Journal Using These Supplies

If you’ve been wanting to make your journal actually feel like the season you’re in, spring is a good time to start. There’s so much to work with (colour, texture, things growing outside your window) and the right supplies can make your pages genuinely enjoyable to open, not just functional.

This post covers everything worth having for a spring vibes journal, from notebooks and pens to stickers, washi tape, and a few extras that take things up a notch. You don’t need all of it, just the bits that appeal to you.

Here are a few ideas to inspire your spring-themed pages before we get into the supplies:

• Pastels and florals: pinks, yellows, greens, and blues all feel right for the season.
• Spring quotes: a line about renewal or growth tucked into a corner of your pages, if you like that kind of thing
• Themed spreads: seasonal goals, bucket lists, or gratitude entries all work really well in a spring layout.
• Extra touches: pressed flowers, hand-drawn doodles, or stickers that feel seasonal.
• Playful accents: washi tape borders, splashes of watercolour, or vibrant markers can shift the whole feel of a page.

Must-Have Supplies for a Spring Vibes Journal

Colourful Notebooks for a Fresh Start

If you want a dedicated journal for spring, it’s worth choosing one that actually feels like the season and, most importantly, something you’ll want to pick up.

• Floral or botanical covers for a natural, spring-inspired feel:
  • PAPERAGE Lined Spiral Journal Notebook (Painted Floral)
  • 4 Pack of Floral A5 Spiral Notebooks
  • Floral Spiral Bound Journal Notebook with Thick Paper & Back Pocket

Washi Tape for a Touch of Fun

Washi tape is one of the easiest ways to add colour and personality to your pages. It is great for borders, dividers, accents, or just a strip across the corner to make a section feel finished. These are some of my favourites for spring:

• Mr. Pen- 21 Rolls of Cute Floral Washi Tape
• Whaline 12 of Rolls Easter Spring Washi Tape
• Whaline 12 Rolls of Bee Theme Washi Tapes
• YUBBAEX 24 Rolls of Pastel Coloured Washi Tape
• YUBBAEX A 10 Roll Four Seasons Washi Tape Set

Vibrant Pens to Brighten Your Pages

The right pens make a real difference. A pop of colour on an otherwise plain page can shift the whole mood of a spread:

• Gel pens in spring colours (pinks, greens, yellows, and blues)
• Brush pens for creating titles and calligraphy
• Dual-tip markers for writing and doodling
• Highlighters for making things stand out
• Or you might like these super fun colour layering markers.

Nature-Inspired Stickers for a Seasonal Touch

Stickers are brilliant for filling blank spaces or pulling a themed layout together quickly. These are my favourites for spring:

• Spring Flower Butterfly Stickers Roll (1000 stickers)
• Pre-Cut Scrapbook Sticker Book for Adults (Vintage Watercolor Flower)
• Spring Flowers Stickers for Journaling – 20 Sheets of Pre-Cut Florals
• Gold Foil Floral Stickers (180 Pieces)

Stickers are perfect for decorating blank spaces or creating themed layouts effortlessly.

Spring Themed Ideas

Once you have gathered your supplies, here’s some inspiration for what to actually do with them:

• Spring Bucket List: design a page listing everything you want to do this season. Picnics, gardening, a flower festival, anything. Use pastel markers to highlight each one. Want more ideas for your spring bucket list? Read this.
• Mood Trackers: a floral or butterfly-shaped tracker where you colour in sections each day is one of those things that sounds a bit extra and then ends up being really satisfying. More spring tracker ideas here.
• Gratitude Spreads: a dedicated page for things you’re genuinely grateful for this season. Surprisingly good to look back on.
• Spring Doodles: small hand-drawn flowers, bees, and birds scattered throughout your journal add a lot of charm. A few good places to start:
  • 50 Spring Inspired Doodles for When You Don’t Know What to Draw
  • Easy Spring Doodles Anyone Can Draw!
  • Easy Spring Doodle Tutorials
• Seasonal Quotes: write out a quote that captures the season, then decorate the page around it with pressed flowers or a watercolour wash.
• Pinterest Boards: search spring bullet journal ideas, spring bujo spreads, or spring journaling ideas for layout inspiration.

Tips for Using These Supplies in Your Journal

A few things worth keeping in mind once you’re set up:

• Themed pages work well: spreads dedicated to a spring bucket list, seasonal goals, or a gratitude log give you something to come back to throughout the season.
• Use washi tape and stickers to frame entries or highlight sections you want to stand out.
• Try a different layout each time: it helps prevent repetition and gives you a reason to experiment.
• Bring the outside in: nature doodles, pressed flowers, or watercolour backgrounds are an easy way to make pages feel genuinely seasonal.
