Here are some Bullet Journal Halloween headers to include in your planner. I hope you’ll try some of these easy to create headers – including spiderweb, bat wings, pumpkin, leaf, cauldron, bone, Frankenstein, witch hat, broom, candy wrapper or moon Halloween headers.
You can use any of these easy Halloween headers on your monthly calendar, weeklies not to mention throughout the month as your daily headers. Substitute the word ‘October’ to suit your bullet journal or planner.
For all of these headers, I started with the word “October” written out, then doodled around the text. I always recommend drawing in pencil then lining with a pen afterward.

Bullet Journal Easy Halloween Header: Spider Web
The spider web header is effortless to create – create the symmetrical design, so it’s mirrored on both sides, or on just one part.
Start by drawing a straight, horizontal line on either side of the word. Add slanted lines on the top and bottom of each section. Connect the individual straight lines with bowed line strokes that look like parentheses. Add little spider details to make it extra creepy & you’re done!
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Leaf
Absolutely one of my favorite bullet journal headers. In fact, I made a weekly spread a couple of years ago using only leaves.
Start with your header text then draw a curved line on either side of the word. Add the outside of the leaf using curved lines for the base and add jagged lines to show the shape of the blade slowly tapering to the point of the centerline. Add another line for the stem and erase any extra marks.
Color your leaf header or ‘leaf’ it as is. #sorrynotsorry for the pun.
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Witch’s Broom
Tip: Add a little extra room to the right for this bullet journal Halloween header!
Draw two horizontal lines around your header text – longer than the bone or Frankenstein’s monster headers. Use a c shape to connect the end on the left side. On the right side, add several curved lines to attach the broom to the handle.
To add the broom, draw two curved lines going out from the handle. Tie the bristles together by adding vertical stripes near the end of the broom. Add uneven strokes to show the bristles at the end.
Tip: You can see in the video I had to scoot my broom over because I didn’t leave enough room for the bristles. Make sure to leave extra room on the right side for this doodle! But it’s super easy and fun once it is done!
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Candy Wrapper
Create this sweet, easy bullet journal Halloween header by drawing one parenthesis shape on either side of the header words. Then add a couple of curved lines to make the plastic look twisted.
Like the spider web header, draw lines out at an angle from either side. Connect those two sets by drawing an uneven, random set of lines on either side. Add some extra details to make it look more candy-wrapper-like, and you’re done!
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Frankenstein’s Monster
This Frankenstein bullet journal Halloween header would look so cute with a green background!
Just like you’ll see with the bone header, start by drawing two horizontal lines on either side of the Halloween header. At the ends of the lines, draw two small ovals to connect the original lines.
Add smaller detail lines to make it look like the wood knobs sticking out of Frankenstein’s monster’s neck. You can add a curved line and add ‘stitching’ on top to make it look like a scar.
Easy Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Witch Hat
Leave some extra room at the top for this hat! Start out by drawing two lines like the base of a triangle. Then connect the top and bottom with straight or slightly curved lines. Add a wrinkly triangle at the top with the top of the hat bent down, so it looks floppy. I do this by creating most of the triangle then drawing a straight horizontal line. The point of the hat is aimed down and is a smaller triangle.
Before you put on the brim, it could pass for an elf hat!
Complete the look by adding a ‘c’ shape at the bottom for the brim and adding extra lines inside the main hat area to make it look wrinkly.
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Cauldron
For this header, you’ll need a bit of extra room at the bottom, so make sure to leave the room!
Start this Bullet Journal Halloween Header by drawing two ovals around the words. Then add a large bulb at the bottom. Add a rectangle on the side of the pot and two curved lines around the basin to create the handle. Add three boxes at the bottom of the cauldron to form legs.
To make the inside of the pot look full of liquid, add another curved line inside the pot. Additional details like bubbles floating and popping around the cauldron create a fun scene!
Instead of one curved handle, you could add two handles on either side like I did when I created a bubbling cauldron in my 300 Drawing Prompts book.
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Moon & Clouds
In the video, you’ll see another way to create this bullet journal header – substituting the moon sliver with a full moon!
Start by adding two connected curved lines for the moon. Then draw bouncing scalloped edges to make clouds. Draw as many clouds as you like to create a spooky scene.
Done!
Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Bones
Create this super-simple header by drawing two horizontal lines on either side of the header text. Connect the lines by drawing two sets of C shapes to make the end of the bones.
DONE!
Bullet Journal Halloween Headers: Pumpkin
For this Bullet Journal Halloween header, use the letter C as your guide. The pumpkin sections are each made of backward and forward ‘c’ shapes connected together. Since part of the pumpkin is behind the header text, draw lightly with a pencil then darken later with a pen.
Start with one of the inner pumpkin sections. Draw a ‘c’ then draw a backward ‘c’ and connect them. Then add two more ‘c’s for the extra pumpkin sections. Draw two curved lines at the top for the stem. Complete the stem with a triangle or an oval. Add some additional lines on the stem to make it look textured. Fill in the lines with a pen and erase any extra pencil marks. One of my favorites!
I had some fun with this one – skip to the end of the video for pumpkin bloopers!
Bonus: Bullet Journal Halloween Header: Bat Wings
Idea: Color the bat wings with a light gray and darker accents once you’re finished doodling for a fun effect!
Start the bat wings by drawing two downward curving lines, then add another line under it and connect the ends. Make the bottom of the batwing by drawing reversed scalloped edges. Add lines in the negative space connecting the point to the two curved lines at the top, and you’re done!
Which (or should I say Witch) is Your Favorite?
Which bullet journal Halloween header is your favorite? I can’t decide, but I really like the leaf and the spider web. The candy is pretty sweet too….

I loved watching these! They’re so simple, but they end up looking really good! Did you write out October or is that a font? I know that shouldn’t be the question I walk away with, but I am so curious!
Hi Ani! Glad you liked them. I decided that I was going to break every object down into a simple form or line – and I’m amazed at how simple they are and how easy to replicate! To answer your burning question – no fonts were used in the making of my video. I used “Ecobrush” by The Kiki B over on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheKikiB. I can’t wait to pick up her stippling brush pack in future days.
