For me, the most time consuming part of setting up a new month is figuring out the cover page…
Once I decide on that, everything else seems to fall into place. I think it really sets the tone for the upcoming days and I love looking at other bullet journals to get inspiration
These April monthly cover ideas will help you get your theme figured out in no time!
Whether you want something easy and minimal or you want a crazy watercolor spread, you’ll find it here
Here are the cover pages that caught my eye:

It’s almost time to hit the beach and catch those waves!
I love how it takes up the entire page and the different shades of blue add to the overall depth. If you’re going with a blue theme or anything to do with water, this should get those creative juices flowing
Start your month off on the right wave with this awesome spread
Koala Monthly Cover

Who doesn’t love bullet journals and koalas?!
While I haven’t seen one in real life, I know that they’re super cute… especially this one lol
I love how she filled in the blank space with watercolor flowers and leaves making it look like the koala is chillin in its natural habit
If you have an animal theme or anything floral, I’m sure you could take some inspiration from this cute cover
Keep koala and bujo on!
Hot Air Balloon Cover

Speaking of watercolor covers, how cute is this hot air balloon theme?
I love how she chose the colors for the sky and clouds to make it look like the sun is setting. If you have watercolor supplies, this background would look great with a ton of different themes
Start you new month high in the sky!

Looking for a cover page that’s super simple and won’t take forever to set up?!
Then this minimalist spread is for you. I love how the calendar is small and super neat… Not to mention the inspirational quote right below in that adorable font

Space Theme

Going with a space theme in your bullet journal?
If you are, this would be a great cover to try or pull inspiration from. I personally love how the planets surround the April font and I think it would love great even without the watercolor background
I’m not great at doodling or using watercolors yet so I’m definitely going to use the layout and apply my look / theme to it
Don’t just think about your upcoming month, PLANET 😉
Flowers & Crystals

How adorable is this GEM of an April monthly cover?
I love how the doodles come in from the edge and look random but it’s still very clean with the outside circle keeping everything contained
Plus, the variation of crystals and flowers makes it something that you could use with a nice variety of themes
I think you might have found a diamond with this spread!
90’s Theme Cover

Any 90’s kids out there?!
This monthly cover reminds me of the Saved By The Bell cafeteria. I love how the doodles are highlighted with different colors giving the spread a super cute overall look!
Even if you aren’t the best at drawing, this is still something that you could do and I’m sure it would turn out just as awesome
Don’t be tardy to class!
Easter Theme

This Easter cover page is amazing!!
I love how she made a wreath out of the eggs and how they’re all decorating differently! This would be a great cover for anyone that has more artistic ability than me lol

Oragami April Cover

Don’t worry, if you can’t actually fold origami, it’s a lot easier to just draw them
I love how they look like they’re hanging from the ceiling. Plus, the way the April font is set up… that’s definitely something I could do!
Whether you do just one paper crane doodle or multiple, I think this cover would look amazing in your bullet journal
Fold your way to a brand new month!
Constellation Cover

Everything from the night sky in the background of the tree line to the constellation doodles that fill out the entire page
Even if you don’t use something like this for your cover, I think the constellations would look super cute anywhere in your bujo. Plus, they’re super easy to draw!

In my opinion, there’s not much that represents the start of springtime more than some colorful flowers. Whether you’re with a purple theme or not, this simple floral theme would look amazing in any color
Spring forward into a new month!

If so, this floral dutch door spread is the one for you! The detail in the flowers / leaves is amazing and I love how the April calendar is basic, keeping the focus on the artwork

Now since that previous spread was pretty crazy, I had to include something more my speed
I think this monthly cover has the perfect blend of looking artsy while still being easy to draw! This would look great even if you’re going with more of a minimalist theme too
Plus, I love how they used the washi tape to make it look like its holding the flower
I love the overall simplicity!
Watercolor Cover

I know I’ve covered a few watercolor cover pages but… WOW, this one is amazing
As a kid, I could only dream of treehouses like these! I love how much depth there is to the spread with all the branches, ladders and addition little treehouses
If your the type of person that can paint this kind of cover, I’m super jelly
The only problem with this cover is that you have to guess the secret password 😜
Special Potion

The first thing I think when I see this monthly cover is “Mad Scientist”
The drawing is absolutely amazing and I love how they have the molecules in the background in a super light color so you don’t even see them at first. The longer you look at this spread the crazier the concoction gets!
While I definitely won’t be drawing those beakers anytime soon, I do really like the molecule ideas and will definitely try to work them in if they fit with my theme for the month
I think Bill Nye would approve 👩🏻🔬
Donut Monthly Cover

In my house, donuts are part of our Sunday routine
There’s nothing better than a vanilla dipped donut with sprinkles!
I mean, seriously, those smoothies and protein shakes can take a break for one day right?! At least, that’s what I tell myself
This monthly cover is super fun and would go perfectly in your bullet journal if you doing any sort of food theme
Donut count this one out!
April Lettering Cover

With all the crazy cover pages I included, I had to have something that was straight to the point while still looking adorable
I think this is the one to do just that! I love the soft green color she chose and it really gives it that springtime feeling
But even if you aren’t doing a spring or green theme, this layout would look great with any color
There’s no April fools with this cute spread!
