The first thing new Bible journalers ask for is a Bible journaling supply list. But, buying supplies for Bible journaling can become overwhelming and expensive. Don’t worry, you get to choose what you want and what you don’t! There are no rules. You make up your own rules – yay!
Bible Journaling Supply List
The only thing you really need is access to the Bible (if you’re reading this post, you have access to many versions online), a piece of paper and a pencil. Of course when I say this many of my Bible journaling friends roll their eyes at me and tell me to go on.
Here are a few supplies that I recommend when you’re just getting started. Use a coupon at your craft store if you can! If you’re shopping online and make a purchase via our links, our ministry will receive a small commission. Thank you for supporting our mission to help others grow in the Word creatively.
I always recommend that you start with our free beginner’s course so you don’t overbuy on supplies.
Bible Journaling Supplies List – When You’re On a Tight Budget
Paper or Notebook
Coloring pencils – my favorite low-cost pencil set is from Crayola: http://amzn.to/2pLo6mD
Page protector – can be made out of a dollar store kitchen mat (see our 10-day course) or you can buy this one from Illustrated Faith: http://amzn.to/2q4FP9G
Bible Journaling Supplies List – Items Worth Saving For
Gesso – Helps eliminate bleed through and works well if you’re using a lot of water in your Bible – Dina Wakley is my favorite http://amzn.to/2pajjqY, but Art Basics is a close second http://amzn.to/2pKgVck
Gellatos – Of course, I would recommend these. I use them so much! http://amzn.to/2p1HYTy
Shipping labels to use as stickers – These are the ones that I use that I’ve tested with my ph pen. Based on the test, I believe they’re acid-free. http://amzn.to/2vf7nZT (I purchased from seller named Universal Labels) and http://amzn.to/2wmWHIw.
