I love starting a new planner, it is so exciting. It symbolizes new beginnings and helps me feel organized.
Here are some of the best supplies every beginner needs.

The Best Planner Supplies Every Beginner Needs
I find that when I decorate and personalize my planners, I’m more likely to use them. I don’t like boring planners. 🙂 So personalizing them in a way that is pleasing is a must for me.
Today I’m sharing how I personalize them and what I like to use. I’ve listed options from Amazon for ease but you could also check your local craft store for supplies.
Stickers
I love planner stickers. Such a fun way to customize your planner and make it feel special.
There are so many options when it comes to stickers for your planner. You can find plenty of free ones online (Pinterest is a good place to check!) or you can purchase cute stickers from your favorite sticker makers.
You can also make them yourself and print them out on sticker paper. Here is a great tutorial on how to make your own planner stickers from All About Planners.
If you make your own or if you get them as digital downloads you’ll want to print them out, right? 😉 There are two main types of printer paper. Matte and Glossy.
Matte is probably the most popular because you can use just about any pen on them.
Here are some great sticker paper options:
Washi Tape
Washi tape is a fun, slightly addictive tape that makes decorating planners fun. There are many, many, colors, and design options. Washi Tape is a great way to add a pop of color to your planner.
Here are a few Washi Tapes to choose from:
- Agutape 48 Rolls Super Slim Washi Tape
- 30 Rolls of Wide Rainbow Washi Tape
- 21 Rolls of Gold & Colored Metallic Washi Tape
Highlighters
Highlighters are another fun way to decorate your planner. I like to highlight important things that need to get done.
Mini Wite-Out Tape Runners
Do you ever make mistakes when you’re planning? I do! Mini Wite-Out Tape Runners are a must so you can start over and not ruin your planner.
Sticky Notes
Sticky Notes are another fun way to customize your planners. Did you know that you can print on sticky notes? Here is a tutorial on how to do that.
Colorful Pens
I like having a good set of colorful pens for my planners. I like to color-code my planners.
White Ink Pens
Sometimes I like to add dark-colored stickers to my planner, these White Ink Pens work best for those stickers.
Scissors
Since I make or download most of my stickers I need a good pair of scissors to make sure they look like I want them to.
Having the right supplies will help you to get the most out of your planner. Customizing my planners is one of my favorite parts of having a paper planner!
I hope this post gets you starting on your planning adventure.
Happy Planning!!
