My Favorite Pens for Journaling

You do not need a lot of supplies to journal. You can honestly do it with a very cheap notebook (or loose papers), and a ballpoint pen. Its always good to have something to glue with and something to add color with. But that is it! If, however, you want to purchase some supplies just for jouranling, I've prepared this list of my favorite pens for you!!

Writing Pens

• Uni-ball Air Micro 0.5 mm Fine Rollerball pack og 6, 4 black, 1 blue, and 1 red https://amzn.to/4rF57Xg

  This pen is great for writing on top of paint - which is something that some pens struggle with. Its also waterproof!

• Uni-ball UM 154 Signo Broad Point Gel Pen – White – Pack of 3 https://amzn.to/4iKr3wm 

  A good pen for adding white embellishment or writing to a page!

• Sharpie S-Gel Pens, 0.7 mm, black, 4 count https://amzn.to/48z1gE1

  These are not waterproof but I love writing with them.

• Fude Ballpoint Pen Extra Bold, 1.5mm, black ink, 3 pens per Pack https://amzn.to/44ZF9Ey

  This is the thickest regular pen and it is waterproof. Its a nice bold pen for adding writing to your pages. It also writes well on top of pain.

• TWSBI Eco T – Clear Fountain Pen F Nib.    https://amzn.to/48XU9nB I LOVE this pen. It is a fountain pen. You will need to purchase fountain pen ink to wirte with it, but if you want to write a lot this is a great pen.

• Lamy Safari Fountain Pen M Nib. https://amzn.to/4qhWm4H I like this pen a lot too. A Lamy Safari was my frist fountain pen and I loved it so much I ended up getting a few more! It will come with a blue cartridge but after that you will need more cartridges or an ink converter https://amzn.to/3YyQ0Sg and some ink!

• Fountain pen inks: Most of them are not waterproof. I've only used one that is waterproof and it is this one: Platinum Carbon Black Ink https://amzn.to/4jzkRYl

Fineliners w/ Waterproof Ink

These are all very similar and are waterproof. What you can find depends on where you live.
