I like to use the typical themes just like everyone else: snowflakes, Harry Potter, flowers, books, etc. However, it can be hard to do something unique when those same themes are commonly used. So I started to think up some unusual ideas that I might not have seen before. The next thing I know, I’m on theme generators coming up with outlandish ideas that might just be too hard to put in a journal. But I’ll leave that up to you! Here are some of the new and unusual bullet journal theme ideas I came up with:

There you have all the unusual themes I came up with. When it comes to themes, it can be good to get out of your head and start to mash things you never would have thought to put together. Your imagination can take you to amazing places. All you need to do now is draw them! If you choose to do any of these themes, please tag me (@thehobbyscheme) or use the hashtag #bujounusual. I would love to see what you create!! Let me know in the comments which unusual bullet journal theme ideas you have used in the past.
