Printable Dot Paper for Bullet Journal (5 mm Dot Grid PDF)

This printable dot paper for bullet journal pages uses a 5 mm dot grid, the most common spacing for bullet journals and dotted notebooks. The dots are light enough to fade into the background but clear enough to guide straight lines, boxes and lettering.

Bullet Journal Layout Ideas

  • Monthly log: list the dates down the left side and add tasks or events next to each one.
  • Weekly spread: divide the page into seven boxes, using the dots to keep them the same size.
  • Habit tracker: make a grid with habits down the side and days across the top.
  • Mood or sleep tracker: color one dot-sized square for each day.
  • Lists and collections: books to read, gift ideas, meal plans and budgets.

Tips for Using Dot Grid Paper

  • Count dots instead of measuring. Five dots across is 2 cm (0.8 inch) on every page.
  • Use a fine-liner pen, since gel ink can smear on regular printer paper.
  • Print on 24 lb or 28 lb paper so pens do not show through to the back.

How to Print

Print at 100% scale. For the A5 page, choose A5 paper in your print settings if your printer supports it, or print page 3 on Letter paper and cut along the dashed line. Free for personal and classroom use.
