moleskinestudies:
This is part two of a school supplies masterlist / faves list that I’ve been putting together. You can find part one, which covers study space and backpack essentials, here. This part ( part two ) focuses more on stationary. I hope you like it and find some supplies that you love ^-^
pencil cases:
I use the large version of this muji pen case to hold my basics, which is all I need to bring to most classes ( I have another bigger case for my scissors and calculator and stuff )
lovely tartan pencil case ( also by muji ) that could be used as an additional larger case
*chants* moleskine, MOLESKINE, MOLESKINE
nice n small yellow pen tube
a very organised, medium sized one in lots of different colours
pencils:
this is a 0.5mm lead mechanical pencil which has a nice body in lots of different neon colours
moleskine pencil - need I say more?
I use the papermate pacer 100 with a 0.5mm lead, and it’s one of the nicest cheap mechanical pencils I’ve ever had
here is a very nice fancy one (but as well as being very nice, it’s also very expensive)
another fancy one, again very nice but not quite as expensive
writing pens:
I mostly use a black uniball insight rollerball - the pen design is nice but it does have a downside in that the line is a bit wide / it bleeds a little
sakura pigma microns are fineliners with great quality ink that are available in very small tip sizes
uni-pin fineliners! here is a pack with a bunch of different sizes that can do anything from bold titles to tiny details ( I use these and trust me when I say that they are so good )
I often use the black version of the muji 0.5 gel pens linked under coloured pens, when I want a more crisp line than the uniball
I’ve moved away from writing with fineliners, but these artline 200 ones are what I’ve liked in the past
coloured pens:
these muji 0.5 gel pens are what I use most often - they come in loads of colours, make a really crisp line, and look so pretty
here is an 8-pack of the artline fineliners in assorted bright colours - I’ve never tried them but I assume they write the same as the black version
a pack of a bunch of different colours of 0.8 + 0.4 double sided pens
20 colours of erasable pilot frixion slimline pens
sparkly gel pens
markers:
I use the faber-castell PITT artist pens with a brush tip, which come in a lot of colours and are fantastic for titles
sakura pigma brush pens are similar to the PITT markers
24 colours of pilot frixion erasable markers
copic ciao 6-piece sets are cheaper than full size copics but still have nice layerable colour
eight colours of metallic markers - great for titles or on black / dark paper for posters or projects
highlighters:
I use stabilo swing cool highlighters, which have nice bright colours and the only downside is that they can smudge your writing a bit
soft colours + erasable pilot friction ones ( i’ve tried out the bright versions in a store and they work pretty well )
uni propus window highlighters have gorgeous packaging, two different sized tips, and soft colours
while looking through jetpens I found the pilot spotliters, which look quite similar to the propus ones
monami essenti-soft highlighter pens have really pretty design and pastel colours
other important bits and pieces:
here is a very cute blue sharpener
lead refills for your mechanical pencil that come in a lot of different grades ( more )
white out - I use the papermate liquid paper correction pen and I find that it dries relatively fast and has a nice enough body
hole punch and stapler ( the colours are so good I’m DYING )
super compact pen-style scissors ( comes in a few different colours )
is it glue? is it tape? it’s both
mt masking tape is perfect for decorating your bullet journal ( there is some of this in a shop on the way to my yoga class and every time I walk past it takes a lot of restraint not to buy some )
muji does very nice 15cm rulers ( I use the second one ): 1 / 2 / 3
kikki k has lots of cute stickers for your bullet journal / planner
mini correction tape that can easily fit in your pencil case
glue stick in the shape of a pen
and an eraser in the shape of a pen
the cutest sticky tabs in the history of sticky tabs
