These dot papers are set up for every bullet journaling lover and personal planners.

Are you a bujo (bullet journaling) novice or a seasoned vet who just doesn’t have the gift of beautiful writing? (Me too!) Being neat while writing and making creative designs are difficult for a lot of us without the use of dot grid paper to use as a guideline.

This set has seven different sizes to accommodate almost every size of planner imaginable. Best of all, I am providing them for free to help you get started on the bullet journaling without having to invest in an expensive planner.

I’m a very messy writer, so I love the idea of using blank bullet journal printable paper to keep things neat. I’ve recently wanted to give bullet journaling a try. But I didn’t want to move out of my current planner that’s customized to my needs.

These digital papers are a happy medium, which means I can keep my daily planner that keeps me on task and fill in with clean, crispy new dot grid papers to start my bujo journey.

Paper Sizes

There are seven different printable sizes available for free:

  • US Letter | This is a standard piece of paper at 8.5 inches x 11 inches. Some of you asked for a margin on the paper while others preferred the dots to extend all the way to the edge, so I provided both.
  • 8 x 10 | This is the size of a larger photograph that you receive for school photos. 8 inches x 10 inches.
  • A4 | 8.3 inches x 11.7 inches which is the standard size of typing paper by the International Standards Organization. This is more common in Australia and the UK, but you’ll see it in the US too.
  • A5 | 5.8 inches x 8.3 inches used a lot in stationary, greeting cards, flyers and a lot of junk mail. You may also note that it is one half the size of the A4.
  • A6 | 4.1 inches x 5.8 inches with no margins.
  • Pocket | 3.5 inches x 5.5 inches.
  • Personal | Sized perfectly to fit a Filofax Personal Notebook sized at 3.7 inches x 6.75 inches. There is enough margin space to punch holes here and fill up your planner.

The great thing is there is no commitment is necessary! So I decided to make some dot grid paper sized for my A5 planner that I can just punch and add into my planner and thought I’d share it with you guys!

I love using this paper for brainstorming, goal planning or any of the more creative things where my writing tends to sprawl all over the place and take over the page. If it sounds like I have terrible handwriting, it’s because I DO! So this really helps keep things in check.

By the way, the little “weekly goals” list is totally random and I just jotted it down quickly to make the dots more obvious in the picture. So no, unfortunately making rolls is not on my list of goals this week. But there’s always next week. #dreambig

How to Cut the Paper

Fortunately, all of our pages have guide lines for you to cut from.

Scissors | This is an ok choice if you are good at cutting straight lines.

Paper Trimmer | Using a paper trimmer allows you to slide the paper that you just pulled off your printer into the trimmer and slice. There are guidelines given and a lip on the top and bottom so that it has something to snuggle up against. I like to slice the longest side first and then the shorter side If you use a Fiskars one, you can usually do 2-4 pieces at a time before it will slide and give you irregular cuts.

Alternatively, using a guillotine trimmer will allow you to cut several pieces at once just like you would in the school office. These are the powerhouse for just a few bucks more but can be risky if you have small kids in your house.

📝 Uses for Paper

Personal Planner

These blank pages are going to be the perfect addition to your personal planner. Since all the sizes are offered for every size planner out there, pick the size planner you have and start printing. These offset the {free} undated personal planner pages.

Whether you are using The Happy Planner, Antner or Toplive Binder Planners, all of these dot papers will work as long as you have a hole punch to use.

Don’t forget to add in Sticker paper to use with the {free} Coffee Planner Stickers.

Bullet Journaling

All my bujo friends out there, simply print off several of these and start working on your own personal journal. These are ideal for writing, jotting notes and releasing our creative spirits on paper. We use these when we practice wreaths, bujo hacks, holiday spreads and school.

List Makers

Print out these in any size you like to work your weekly lists off of with no interruptions of any decorations. These are your to-do lists or even a grocery list.

Kids Handwriting

These dots are evenly spaced and aligned so print them out and put those kiddos on the table to practice their hand writing and cursive on a straight line.

Sketching

These are perfect for the sketcher in your life. These blank dot grid papers are the ideal backdrop to putting pen to paper and releasing the stories in your head.

Printable FAQ

How to cut the pages to the correct size?

I included guide marks along the top, bottom and sides so you can simply line them up with your cutter and slice. That way you can still print on traditional 8.5 x 11 paper and don’t have to worry about your printer settings.

Do I have to customize my printer to get the sizes mentioned?

No, each size mentioned is already ready for you to add to your computer and start printing. This is the simplest way to do it for our readers as not everyone is as computer savvy so we take away that barrier so everyone can enjoy.

Do the pages have dots with margins?

I received a lot of feedback that you wanted dot grid pages that extend to the width of the page in addition to the ones with margins, so I added both in the PDF file. That way, you can have the flexibility to make it your own!

Are A6 and personal size the same thing?

Nope! Personal size comes in at 3.7 inches x 6.75 inches and the A6

  • is 4.1 inches x 5.8 inches.
  • Does A6 fit into a pocket?

    Yes, funny how this is the perfect size to fit into a pocket rather than the actual “pocket sized” dot grid. Try them all and see what works best for your needs.

    How do I print on both sides of the paper?

    Once the printer is finished printing the FIRST side, turn the paper over and put it back in the paper tray and press PRINT again.
