DIY Moon Phase Planner Spread
Hey guys! This is a project I originally shared on Tombow’s instagram account, but as you know I’m a huge space nerd, so I wanted to share it here too.
Today I’m showing you how to make a Lunar Calendar Spread in your bullet journal/planner!
Supplies:
- Planner or Journal. For my planner this year, I’m using a Bloom Daily Planners Dot Journaling Planner. I added one of my Galaxy Girl stickers to the cover to customize it , but I love the marble background too.
- Tombow Twin Tones
- Tombow 1500 Colored Pencils
- Ruler
Ste one: Use a ruler & Twin Tone markers to draw out 2 sections at the bottom of your page, and write each month name with 6 on each side.
The bullet tip of the Twin Tone is fantastic for monoline lettering (a single line, not a brush pen) like this. Draw 4 circles for each month, and fill them in according to the lunar calendar. Next Using a pink Twin Tone, I wrote out the dates for each of the moon phases above the circles.
Step two: Now let’s finish decorating the spread.
Trace a circle onto the top of the page, and lightly color it in with a light pink 1500 Colored Pencil. The trick to colored pencils is to color in light layers, so keep adding colors but not adding to much pressure as you work. Using a darker shade of pink, add in the craters of the moon. You can also pull up an image of the moon on your computer to use as a reference.

Don’t forget to add details! To finish the moon, Use the fine tip of the black Twin Tone marker to add in a few details & outline the moon.
And that’s it! Do you ever use colored pencils your planner? They’re nice because they won’t bleed through thin pages!
