In general, the existence of the Bullet Journal is for you to better record your life and plan your works.

Three: Some tips you need to follow

Maybe you were like me, are very scared to tailor your bujo at first. But in fact, you don't need to worry, bujo is a space where you can do whatever you like, and any inspiration and ideas in life can be added. I will give you some tips on making a Dutch Door.

Tips one: Be careful with the Knife

You need to be careful when using scissors or a carving knife. For example, don’t cut to the gutter when cutting vertically, otherwise the whole book will easily fall apart.

If you cut too much paper on the same page, the remaining paper will be shaky. There is a possibility that the dutch door you made will fall off.  

                        

Tips three: The part planned to be cut should be different

When you want to cut horizontally for your dutch door, such as making a weekly plan page, you need to cut a different place at different time. Cut the upper part this month, and the lower part later in the next month.
