 Bee Drawing Tutorial

Oh my god, guys! First video I’ve ever made! I’m super excited!!!

I’ve put a lot of time in this, but I know I can do better and I’m going to experiment more with videos in the future. I’m left handed, so the video might not be very clear, but I’ve added a step by step tutorial too 😉 Enjoy!

How I used the Honeycomb Stencil to set up my weeklies for June

As you could see in this blogpost, I’ve shown you my bullet journal setup for June and how I created all kinds of different weekly setups.
In this video I want to show you how I used the honeycomb stencil and different materials to create the patterns.

1. Honeycomb stencil + Distress Ink in the color ‘Scattered Straw’

Here I used the stencil in combination with Distress ink and a stamping tool. It creates a beautiful effect.

2. Honeycomb stencil + Watercolors

For the second pattern I created I used the stencil + watercolors in the colors yellow and light brown. In my bullet journal I didn’t use a micron pen, but a pencil. You can use whatever you like best.

3. Honeycomb stencils + Crayola Supertips

Third method I used was very simple too. I used a micron pen to trace the pattern and then used Crayola Supertip markers in different kinds of yellows and oranges to color them in.

Suuuuuuper easy, right?!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post! I’m planning on making more videos including a bullet journal flip-trough and tutorials on how I make actual spreads in my bullet journal. Please let me know what you think!
