Today I have a fall-themed Bible journaling tutorial for you!
I had meant to do this tutorial in the beginning of fall, but time got away from me. When I realized we are already past Halloween and in November I wasn’t sure if there was still enough time to justify a pumpkin tutorial. So I took to Instagram and asked- I got a resounding “yes, do the tutorial”.
You don’t have to ask me twice! Check out the tutorial video below!
Tutorial
Supplies Used

- ESV Interleaved Journaling Bible
- Acrylic Paints– Link is for a pack of Apple Barrel paints that I love, but it does not include all the colors I used. I recommend just getting your paints at Walmart or the craft store, it’s much much cheaper. You can use any brand of acrylics, though I do prefer a matte acrylic over gloss to prevent stickiness.
- Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen
- Large flat paintbrush and small round paintbrush– I don’t use any specific brand, I get synthetic brushes in value packs from the craft store
- Fan paintbrush
- Craft Heat Gun

Things To Note
-Acrylics are great because they don’t bleed through an unprepared Bible journaling page! I use the cheap Apple Barrel acrylics that you can get at Walmart, though you can use any brand.
-I personally don’t mind if I cover some of the text on the page in my Journaling Bibles. I use them just for Bible art worship, and have other Bibles I read and study from. But it’s a personal decision. A great Bible option (the one I used for this page), that gives lots of journaling space without having to worry about covering the scripture, is the ESV Interleaved Journaling Bible, which has full blank pages.
-Acrylics act as a page prep, so you can use markers/pens/inks that normally would bleed through on top of them! Though the Fudenosuke pen that I used for this page does not normally bleed through an un-prepared journaling Bible page.
