Washi Tape or Stickers – With many types of washi tape you can actually write on it with pen or marker so you can cover up the word and start again. These small mistakes can be fixed with white-out, washi tape, or a sticker. Small mistakes like a misspelled word or the wrong day of the week don’t necessarily “ruin” your entire page, but it’s something you want to correct and carry on. I made a quick video to show you how easy it is.Ĭorrecting mistakes in your bullet journal Add some washi tape or stickers to embellish it, if you want. Then start layering scraps of paper or journaling cards (I love the Project Life cards for this) on top of that base of scrapbook paper. Just find a paper you love and cut it to the size of your journal page. So when I screw up an entire page I am in the habit of reaching for my paper stash to make it pretty. So I’m always looking for creative ways to use up my stash.
I’ve been a scrapbooker and paper crafter for years and years (yes, I’m old) and I have more paper supplies than I’ll ever use in three lifetimes. My supply of choice is pretty scrapbook paper, journaling cards, and embellishments. How you cover it up and make it pretty again depends on how big it is and how much you need to cover. There are lots of solutions for covering mistakes. Use your journal as the training ground for how you want to live your life. Not to get all woo-woo on you again, but I truly believe the way you deal with small mistakes you make in your journal or planner is a reflection of how you’ll deal big mistakes or issues in the rest of your life. Let’s explore these ideas and see what we can learn. Cover the mistake and make it into something beautiful.
#COLORED WHITE OUT HOW TO#
All mistakes are different (thank you, Captain Obvious) so you’ve got some choices when it comes to how to handle them. But sometimes you really do want to sprinkle fairy dust on them and make them into something that brings joy and beauty. Sometimes you’ll be fine with those mistakes and can just fix them and move on – or not fix them and still move on. The reality is that you’re going to screw up pages in your bullet journals and planners.
Transformed from something that makes us cringe into something that makes us happy. Sometimes mistakes are just ugly and need to be covered up. Sprinkle fairy dust on them and let them sparkle!Įmbracing our mistakes is not always easy or even what we want to do. Let them shine brightly and be your reminder that you’re not perfect. Just love them and be happy about how beautiful life is when it’s slightly imperfect.
I’m not perfect so why would I expect my journal to be perfect without any mistakes? Maybe it’s time that we start to embrace our mistakes and let them be a reflection of what truly happens in real life. My bullet journal is filled with mistakes, scribbles, failed drawings, and layouts I don’t like.
