Bullet Journal Ideas: Christmas Wishlist
contributed by Kaitlyn Guenther
Bullet journals are great ways to express thoughts, get creative, and plan. They can be used for all occasions; even holidays like Christmas! My family was always very keen on getting presents for each other, so I would be asked for my wishlists months before Christmas! Encouraging children to create a pretty Christmas wishlist in their bullet journals during the holiday season may be a good way to bring out their creativity instead of purely focusing on what they want.
I am a huge fan of christmas gifts that involve the family spending time together, so try encouraging your children to add events or family days to their wishlists, like a day at the museum or a trip to the outdoor ice rink.
Below are some ideas of how children can use their creativity and imagination to create a christmas wishlist to share with family! Bullet journalling may be a time consuming task if you have to design and organize the pages from scratch. So we've included some templates that are all ready to go; just fill them in and build your own bullet journal!
Using pencils and markers, draw a christmas theme visual with spaces for your wishlist. I chose to draw a a christmas tree with snowy tinsel for my wishlist. You could also try a christmas wreath with christmas ornaments for the wishlit, christmas bells with holly leaves for the wishlist, or even a candy cane with the stripes for the wishlist.
Once your drawing is outlined fill in the visual with color using pencil crayons, wax crayons, paint, etc. I chose to paint with water color using my favourite Water Color Paint Techniques.
Once your picture is done, write out different things that you are wishing for this christmas. You can brainstorm as a family and come up with some special presents that you can do with each other!
