Unleashing Creativity with Grid Inserts
I have found that using a grid page makes lining things up so much easier! You can just count the lines horizontally and vertically and put your project in the exact right place!
Here are some ways you could use your grid paper:
- Drawing and doodling (if you need a fun doodle reference I have a free printable… of course!)
- Bullet journaling… I feel like some kind of grid is vital to creating a visually pleasing BUJO layout
- Making cute charts or Venn diagrams (I LOVE a Venn Diagram for figuring things out!)
- Handwriting… it is amazing being able to lay out your letter sizes and practicing your writing
Having a bunch of free printable grid inserts allows me to swap in cool backdrops for my notes and my bullet journaling adventures!
Personalizing these grids is not only fun but I find it boosts my productivity. When I slip in a new page the possibilities seem endless…:)
Especially for bullet journalers, having a grid as a baseline simplifies creating clean layouts and I've seen how it takes the aesthetic of even the simplest doodles to the next level.
Choosing A Colorful Theme
I like to use these kinds of printables to make “themes” for my travelers notebook inserts! Here are some examples:
- Yellow and orange for fall planning
- White and green for Christmas – great for lists of presents, todos and journaling
- Pink and lavender for Easter planning and journaling
- Tan and teal for documenting a seaside trip
Grid inserts for travelers notebooks offer a structured canvas for bullet journaling. I find the grid lines incredibly useful for organizing my thoughts and keeping my bullet journal tidy.
Using these lines, I can easily create checklists, habit trackers, and calendars with neat alignment. I also adore the aesthetic consistency it brings to my pages.
DIY: Printing Colorful Grid Inserts
Gather your supplies: high-quality printer paper that won't let pens bleed through, a reliable printer with full color cartridges, and a paper cutter or scissors for precise trimming.
When printing, adjust your printer settings to ensure the grid lines come out sharp and the colors vibrant. I like to choose “best” for the print setting on my printer.
After printing, cut the inserts down to size based on your traveler's notebook specifications. A little tip: laminate the inserts or use a cardstock as a base to give them extra durability. This way, they can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
Attaching your inserts is straightforward. Fold them over and slide them into your traveler's notebook. Feel free to mix and match color schemes or stick to a cohesive look. It's all about personalizing your notebook to make it as functional and appealing as possible for you.
Using Colored Paper
If your paper is already colored, you can use the white grid sheet and simply load the colored paper into your printer!
I KNOW, this seems super simple but when I was just starting out I didn't think of it at first!
