how to start a (kpop) journal 

I want to start a kpop journal but 1. I’m broke 2. I’m broke 3. *IM BROKE*

*how to start a kpop journal* me: “i got this.” also me: “i’m hungry let’s just start it later”

Things that are important: 1. Money 2. Nice handwriting 3. Creativity And what do I have: 1. Nothing

Step one: have money Step two: have cute things Step three: actually be talented

Step 1: 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩

Step 1: Get Money Step 2: Get good Handwriting Step 3: realize you can’t be this perfect because you are a potato

Omg, this is the first time someone has inspired me so much to actually start a journal.... Im gonna try it out and see how it goes.

To the people who are broke/feel like their budget wouldn’t fit with journaling (like me, im so envious lol), here are alternative ways to make your journal look cute! •use scrap paper whether it’s from old homework you don’t need anymore or even regular tissue paper! All you need is some cheap glue (I use the liquid elmer’s glue bc that’s the only glue I can find in my house) to stick it on and you got part of a spread down! If you see a cute picture on some paper you were about to throw away, cut it out and save it for later! Cute picture on packages or see something on the thing that normally would be thrown away? Save it and cut out whatever you need for that extra pop! •Draw instead of print! It doesn’t matter whether your art is bad or good, you’re drawing for your faves and that’s dedication! It’ll even give the spread a more sketchbooky feel. Plus, it reduces paper usage and saves you some cash in the long run. •Cheap supplies can last just as long as the more bougie supplies if they’re decent quality, you do not need expensive stationary for journaling. I used to use Crayola colored pencil and it is a good quality for a cheap price. Use sharpies or bic (be wary of bleeding through the pages), ballpoint pens, cheap walmart washi tape that are probably $10 at the most, cheap stickers sheets!!! If it doesn’t hurt your pocket too badly, you have the choice to get it! Hell, get your journals from the store! There’s so many cheaper alternatives that will still make your journals pop! •youtube is free so you can practice your calligraphy and handwriting while journaling. You’ll slowly get better, I promise you. (or just not care and just write as messily as you want to lol) TLDR: Decently cheap supplies, using scrap paper that are usually thrown away, and watching videos on RU-vid while practicing on your own journal are money saving journal heaven and will still make your journal look good!

Idea: an adorable and well thought-out journal like this one but instead of pretty Kpop idols you use grimy old heavy metal musicians 😂

I want to make a journal but my handwriting would definitely be a no no!:v

Everyone in the comment section is very discouraging :( Even when I first started journaling I didn’t even have any supplies. Only colored pens and a used journal. My photos were also very pixelated and were always black and white bc of our old printer. I’m working on my 3rd journal now and I still don’t have that big of a stationary collection. I’ve gotten stickers from friends and even purchased them from Walmart, they even sell washi tape for $2 for a pack of 5. I finally bought myself some Crayola markers for $3 and some Sharpie pens to write. I’ve improved a lot and now I don’t really use many stickers or much washi tape. I don’t see many people do it but I use scraps of tissue paper and packaging from items in my spreads bc I feel like it would make my spreads more unique and I’m also reducing the amount of trash I throw away.

To everyone saying they are broke, the first notebook she showed, I bought a set of 5 for $3 and it’s like the best notebook I’ve ever had so ye

I'm planning to make a bts journal so I can look back on it in 30 years and remember how much those 7 beautiful idiots changed my life

I want to make a bts journal so If I'm already old I can still remember my 7 dorks

Me: Just clicked on this video My wifi: "Ok let's slow things down a little bit!" Me again: OMG WHYYYYY

i have everything that i'd need to start journaling. exept a printer. so when i want to print things. i have to do that at my school. but my friends want to go home immediately after school. so then, i have to ride alone for half an hour (on my bike, in the pouring rain) the struggle is real.

me: *sees hyunjin* oh another stay lemme subscribe

oh wow u have so many stuff. meanwhile me........one normal notebook and a black pen :v

When you realize you can’t get cool k-pop things or ask ur dad to print pictures: *happy realization buddy*

Just a tip or info thing for people: You can get really cute and nice looking pictures of K-Pop idols when you go to conventions hosted by other fans or fansites. Or you can buy them in packs online for quite a cheap price: lomo cards and others that you can find. You can also print them, but do NOTE that a better printer will help the over all look. Also, I do suggest that you can find pieces of paper for deco in your everyday life. Example receipts, gift wrappers. Instead of tearing them, carefully open it, and you can use the wrapping in your journal. You can also try printing cute "aesthetic backgrounds." For stickers and washy tape, it's more of an investment. You can buy a lot of cute ones online is different websites and Instagram accounts. If you think you can commit to making journal, then I think it would be nice to buy a few nice ones. But remember to think before you buy lol. P.s. Practice writing the headers and etc, before writing on the journal!! That's all. I hope you guys can decide on whether to invest or not. Also the video was so 💛💜aesthetic

imagine doing this and seeing the journal in ten years time. I would cry cuz bts would've already disbanded .-. Edit: People are seriously offended over this comment- Just to clarify I’m not trying to jump to conclusions by saying they will disband I’m just saying that when they do these journals would be a treasured memory to army

Me: *Thinking of making a Journal* Me: *Looks at my School bag then looks at my phone* Me: Nah, I can't even complete my homework how can I make a Journal... (My English sucks)

Step 1: be rich Step 2: be rich Step 3: have loads of kpop pics me: "im gonna start a kpop journal" ; *"have only a pencil, ballpen and 2 pics of unlined cutouts of jimin"*

i just bought a bunch of washi tapes (120 freaking pieces and they are just newly bought ones) + stickers + grid notebooks...because i wanted to start making my own kpop journal and i decided to buy all of that in one go so that i wont have to buy all the materials piece by piece and lemme tell you it was freaking expensive lol.But i ended up not using a single thing.Now im just watching other people doing their own journals...i hope ill also have the courage to make one soon, i have the skills? i mean i already did one before but i got lazy and also ended up deleting my acc in ig + i also ended up using all of my old materials to my school work.Ughhh i dont want it to happen again to the new ones.. hope so

I’m not a kpop fan *plz don’t attack me* but I did want to make a Billie Eilish journal..

mihan: how to make a kpop journal me: - laughs in broke -

can we just appreciate how aesthetically pleasing this is to watch with lofi music playing ugh yes

I've always wanted to do this but I don't have time plus I have to save some money for NCT 127 comeback so yeah I'm broke as hell ;-;

i would love to start one, but i don’t have space to keep all of this stationery bc my room is so small and my cousins make my room a mess all the time. so when i move (which i might in a few months) then hopefully, i’ll start one

Putting the topic apart, this video is so frickin aesthetically pleasing damnnnn😵

I love how everyone is talking that they don't have 'supplies' but I started my k-pop journal with like a blue and pink marker and a black pen. I remember cutting some cute decoration stuff from my old textbook. The journal was pretty good! 🖤

O.O I kinda wanna do a kpop journal but 1. my hand writing is horrible 2. I don’t have much of the stuff needed to do it 3. I’m broke

I got sooo inspired i never thought of doing a kpop journal. The bad thing is my writing is limited from disaster to bad 😂 and the special writing you did (my goodness) i can't even do that in my dreams 😂 nice video 😊

"I hope this help you a bit" wow girl u help me a lot.thanks:3

Her: buys notebooks Me: let’s see how many saving I have *looks at wallet* oh 12 cents-

Why is this video soooooo aesthetically pleasing 😭😭😭

wow this us so inspiring ! i just started my journal new (for the 4th time or something...) and i didn’t have any motivation in the last few weeks. i didn’t know how to continue. but this video reminded me on how much fun it is to journal, that it’s okay to make mistakes and that it doesn’t have to be perfect. every journal is different. i think now i can watch some more videos and get started on journaling again! thank you for that video 💜💜

Dividing the pictures into colors is a super smart idea!!! I didn’t think about that!!!

For Christmas I might get supplies for bullet journaling it still a long way to go but I’m pretty exited. U also inspired me to try to start a kpop journal

I think I’ll start a blackpink one, cuz of spring break

it's fun seeing other ppl journaling;is very relaxing,fun to watch,mesmerizing and be super jealous that they have talent to make such beautiful spreads 🙃

I can’t even begin to express how helpful, informative, inspiring and useful this video was! I super look forward to starting my own journal after watching this 🌸🌸🌸 Thankyou so so much x

this is such a pretty way of presentation , oh my . i am currently at work on my own journal , w / a floral - pastel theme . things of those aesthetics make me happy !!

Like she said you dont have to have all that stuff, just buy a cheap journal and make the most out of what you already have at home. Eventually you might get motivated to keep doing it or you might realize its not your thing. If you cant get pictures, try drawing them, if you dont want to maybe go to a library (maybe at your school) and print some out, or you can cut out pics from magazines. Its not like you have to have photos of kpop to make a kpop journal as long as it relates to kpop its fine. Hopefully you can save up for it but honestly do what you can instead of thinking about what you cant do. Sorry this was kind of ramble but i just wanted to say this to those who want to do this but feel like they cant.

i'm actually doing one of these, but instead of a journal it will be for my korean notes. thank you for this video ily💕

how cute! i dont consider myself fully back into kpop yet but this is helping in easing me back in since i love love love journaling

Hello! Hope you all are good💜 I wanted to let you know that you are doing great my loves and even if you are a beginner to journaling it's totally fine once you start you will come across various styles of fonts nd many different layouts and even the colour pallete, so don't worry and start it off which cheap supplies and find your style and I'm sure you will enjoy the process and please don't give up if you mess up i understand that it's really annoying just take a break and get back to it, breaks really help i tried it and now I'm doing better... And I hope this motivates all of you reading this 💚 Have a good day/ahead💕☺️

I'm shook when you write zebra Sarasa 0.5, cause I'm using all zebra Sarasa pen.. I love Sarasa pen😍

I only have a few problems.. 1) I'm broke 2) I have no free-time (i get out of school at June 21st i know like wtf) 3) Broke 4) And did i mention broke

*The aesthetic gave butterflies to my tummy* UwU. I know i'm prolly late but yeah, this was very helpful *thanks for the video! this helped me so much!* :DDD

just imagine the amount of effort put into organising all the pictures,i cant..

Made my friend a birthday card just like this, didn’t realize that this was what I was doing.

I don’t know why I just feel so happy when I saw your hyunjin’s photo😅

The fact that I find this so satisfying

I don’t know how people make it look so easy when I have to get everything scattered to chose what theme I want

This is the cutest!!! 😍 I wish my journalling ambition would last more than only after doing one page 😂

How to make a kpop journal 1. Have good handwriting 2. Have pictures 3. GooD StiCkErs 4.Creativity

This is honestly my favourite video to watch everytime.

What you are supposed to have: - Creativity -Talent -Money -Cute things What I got: - *NOTHING*-

Them cute hands though *-* A very helpful video, thank u 💜

me: watch dis, maybe i should start making one also me: nah i'm too lazy

I want to make a bullet journal but also a kpop journal so I thought to just combine the two. Then I thought it was a little strange because i always thought kpop journals were just solely for kpop. But coming across your video and seeing that it’s really just a regular journal that you just happen to talk about kpop in makes me realize that I can just do whatever! Thank you for this video!!

literally me... sitting at home and printing like 10000 photos of Hyunjin out.

how do you print your homemade prints? omg i love the quality of the prints :(

My problem is that even though I have all the supplies if my dad finds out I've been printing photos of random kpop boys he'll disown me

You can get everything she has at Daiso which is a Japanese store. And for the printing, you can go to officeworks and either print from there or buy your own printer and buy photo paper which is a type of paper which is used for printing photos with good quality.

Journaling, in the simplest of terms, is something I've done off and on for when I need to get my thoughts out of my head. However, journaling in this way seems like something that would be a LOT more fun! Thanks for the inspo 😊❤

OMG THOSE PHOTOS WITH HYUNJIN WERE SOOOO CUTE

Thank you so much!my sister luckily has Aton of stationery supplies💕I borrowed a ton of stuff and note books that it full with stuff inside!now,when I grow older and bts are disbanded I will go back and remember how much they’ve helped me threw the years.💖thank you for the inspiration. P.S im so happy i live in Tokyo they have so many stationery supplies and little shops to buy photo card and stuff!

Even if you are broke you don't really need BUY the cute stuff Am myself started my journal and was watching her video for inspiration on what I can do with things I have Only things I have is a diary, regular pen, plane sticky notes as they are not available near me and some highlighters and some printed photos of my fav group I make every thing by myself like the washi tape by colouring the plane paper with highlighters and sticking it with glue on the diary I customize my sticky note with the highlighters and regular pen I print cute chibi ver of my idol in small size cut it and just stick it as I like And believe me it looks amazing

Why are people so talented!!! WAW

Wow urs is soo neat I may not be a big fan of kpop but when i make my own crafty journal its a mess not to mention the money i need for the stickers

Oooo yes I’m loving the page with Irene❤️❤️

i have a lot of these stuffs and i really wanted to start a (kpop) journal but the thing is, i always fail. but, thank you so much for inspiring me to make a journal :")

Love how Chaeng is first in your pictures

You are so creative and talented! Keep doing you! It’s amazing! 😊

tbh i don't have time for this but i do enjoy other people journals :)

It's actually very satisfying to see even though I'm never gonna do it

this is literally the only kind of journaling i’m willing to do

REALLY COOL VIDEO!! much more interesting than I expected, I loved the way you filmed this!

Why am I watching this I don't even like kpop Very a e s t h e t i c video though I really liked it

I have actually really never considered journaling ever but this actually seems really cool

I was thinking to start a kpop journal during quarantine but seeing the stuffs I need,i'mma lockdown myself from this.
