May Bullet Journal Themes and Cover Page Ideas

Let’s kick off with the most gorgeous May bullet journal ideas for themes and cover pages, then move on to spreads.

AMAZING blue floral May bullet journal idea

Wow. I first came across constancechel on Instagram last month for my April bullet journal ideas. Based on what I’ve now discovered while searching for May bullet journal ideas, I think it’s safe to say that I’m going to be coming back to her a lot!

This gouache paint May bullet journal cover page is simply stunning.

If you don’t want to use paint in your bullet journal, I recommend using this cover page for inspiration and creating your own with brush pens (the best ones are linked at the end of this post).

Magical May bullet journal cover page

Another stunning design by planningwithkay! I love this magical bullet journal idea and the vibrant bright colors for Spring.

You can see how the magical theme carries through the month…

Black and white May bullet journal cover page

After those bright vibrant colors, this May bullet journal idea by bujotrulla shows that black and white can be just as stunning!

Although if you look carefully you can see that there is also some gorgeous pretty pink dotted about!

Sunny oranges May bullet journal cover page

These happy vibe May bullet journal ideas by ivanajournals and littleolivebujo are the perfect theme to shift into gear for summer!

The brush pens and journal are linked at the end of this post.

Scrapbook style May bullet journal idea

This gorgeous May cover page (or Maio in Portuguese!) by catinbox_ uses a stunning scrapbook style design.

The cute little touches like the animals make this a unique theme idea to continue through the month.

You can use a PoooliPrinter for things like the little calendar printouts and inspirational lettering and quotes. I love mine and have a code for 15% off – TARA15 – if you want to grab one for yourself!

Full page image May bullet journal cover pages

These gorgeous May bullet journal cover pages by tiinanpaivakirja and frai.oh show how using a full page image can create a stunning monthly cover page.

If you don’t consider yourself to be an artist, just find a lovely image to cut/print out and stick.

Lovely lunar May bullet journal cover page!

You can recreate it with this amazing ‘starry color’ paint set, which has some of the most amazing reviews I’ve seen.

This simple floral design by livingletterplans is perfect for any Spring theme, and makes a gorgeous May bullet journal cover page.

Again a Poooliprint is great for these little calendars (use TARA15 for 15% off).

Gorgeous greenery May bullet journal idea

If you’re not up for florals for your May theme, how about a greenery inspired May bullet journal cover page like this lovely one by y.visualss?

Disney’s Merida theme – why not?

If you’re after something really different for your May bullet journal theme why not take inspiration from this stunning cover from 11cikitab on Instagram?

And why stop at Merida from Brave? You could go all out with Disney princesses for the month’s theme!

All the colors of the rainbow

If you find coloring in therapeutic, treat yourself to a May cover page like this one by bujo_bangalore!

May bees and forget-me-not blooms theme

This cute bees and forget-me-not floral theme by somekindwords is perfect for May.

Blue and yellow are perfect colors for a May bullet journal theme as they’re really fresh and contrast well together.

And the envelope idea is fantastic if you need a little spot for tickets, receipts etc.

Cut-out May bullet journal cover page idea

This tonal May cover page by lucyandherjournal is a great example of how you can still create a lovely bullet journal theme, even when you’re not feeling artistic!

Using cut out art, photos and letters can be just as pretty.

If you want your bullet journal cover page to extend into a theme for the month, keep things in the same color palette. Then you can stick to those tones for the whole month.

May Bullet Journal Spread Ideas

Stunning butterfly cut-out spread idea!

Wow, this butterfly bullet journal idea for May by alionsworld is amazing!

This is deceptively simple to create, though very fiddly!

Simply cut out a standard dutch door by cutting away two opposite pages in the middle of a two page spread, then draw on your butterfly outline and cut away!

I suggest coloring the butterfly first it’s less fiddly that way.
