36 Free Monthly and Yearly Bullet Journal Covers for 2027
Starting a new month or year in your bullet journal can be a nice little reset. A simple cover page gives each month its own beginning and makes it easier to separate one section from the next.
This collection includes 36 free bullet journal cover pages, with 12 monthly covers from January through December and 6 additional covers for 2027. Each design comes in a dot grid version and a blank version, so you can choose whichever fits your planner or bujo setup best.
The pages are also made to be colored if you want to add your own touch. You can use alcohol markers, colored pencils, or leave the illustrations black and white.
If you’re building a complete bullet journal for the year, you can also pair these covers with the free bullet journal calendar printables that match the monthly designs.
What Are Bullet Journal Cover Pages?
A bullet journal cover page is a page that marks the beginning of a new month, year, or section in your journal.You may also see them called bullet journal title pages or bullet journal monthly cover pages.
Some bullet journal covers are very simple, with only the name of the month. Others include illustrations, patterns, and decorative elements. These printable covers give you a ready-made page to place at the beginning of each section of your planner or journal.
You can put a monthly cover before:
- Your monthly calendar
- Habit trackers
- Mood trackers
- Monthly goals
- Weekly spreads
- Journal pages
- Notes
- Monthly reviews
The cover doesn’t need to contain your planning information. It can simply act as a visual divider between months.

2027 Bullet Journal Covers
Along with the 12 monthly covers, this collection includes 6 unique 2027 bullet journal cover pages. These covers are different from the monthly designs and can be used at the very beginning of your planner or journal.
Each 2027 cover is available in:
- Dot grid version
- Blank version
This means you have 12 printable pages for the 6 yearly designs in total.
You can choose one of these as the main title page for your 2027 planner, or keep the different versions and decide which one fits your journal when you’re ready to start setting it up.
Dot Grid or Blank Bullet Journal Covers?
Every cover page comes in two versions: dot grid and blank.
The dot grid version is useful if you’re working in a traditional bujo and want the page to blend in with the rest of your dotted journal.
The dots can also help when you want to add your own elements around the main illustration.
You can use the dot grid to:
- Add notes
- Write monthly goals
- Draw small decorations
- Add symbols
- Create your own sections
- Keep handwriting aligned
The blank version has no dots, giving you a cleaner page.
This can be a better fit for a printable planner, binder, notebook, or digital planning system.
You can also mix the two versions throughout the year. For example, you might use the dot grid version for January and the blank version for February.
Color Your Bullet Journal Covers
The cover pages are provided as line-art illustrations, so you can decide how much color you want to add.
Some ways to personalize the pages include:
- Alcohol markers
- Colored pencils
- Fine-tip pens
- Crayons
- Watercolor pencils
- Digital brushes
- Digital highlighters
If you are using alcohol markers, thicker paper can help reduce bleeding. You can also place a spare sheet underneath the page to protect the next page in your journal.
Of course, coloring isn’t required.
The covers can simply be printed and left black and white if you prefer a more minimal planner.
Pair Your Covers With Matching Calendar Pages
The monthly cover pages have matching bullet journal calendar pages, so you can place the two together at the beginning of each month.
For example:
September cover → September calendar → September trackers → weekly spreads
The free bullet journal calendar collection includes a calendar for every month, with dot grid and blank versions to match the options available here.
This makes it easy to create a consistent monthly section without having to draw the calendar yourself.
Ideas for Your Monthly Bullet Journal Setup
Once you’ve added your cover and calendar, you can build the rest of the month around the things you actually need.
A simple monthly setup could include:
- Monthly cover
- Monthly calendar
- Monthly goals
- Habit tracker
- Mood tracker
- Weekly spread
- Monthly review
You don’t need to use every type of page.
If you prefer a minimal planner, your cover and calendar might be enough. If you enjoy tracking different parts of your routine, you can add a few extra pages.
The 38 monthly bullet journal trackers include ideas for habits, sleep, gratitude, savings, expenses, goals, and other monthly routines.
Add Yearly Trackers to Your 2027 Planner
The 2027 cover pages can also be used as the beginning of a larger yearly planning section.
After your yearly cover, you could add:
- A yearly calendar
- Yearly goals
- Future plans
- Habit tracking
- Reading goals
- Savings goals
- Yearly reflections
For longer-term tracking, the 30 yearly bullet journal trackers give you several pages to choose from.
You can keep these near the beginning of your planner and then move into the individual monthly sections.
