Have you ever made a vision board? In case you haven’t come across the concept before, a vision board is a physical board covered in pictures, text or other visual representations of your dreams and goals. To make a vision board, images are typically cut out of magazines or printed off the internet, and stuck onto the board in a visually appealing fashion. The purpose of a vision board is to help you to stay focused on the ‘visions’ represented on your board, and manifest them into your life.
I have made a virtual vision board on Pinterest in the past, but I’ve never made an actual, physical vision board. That’s what I will be doing for the first time in this blog post, with the help of The 2025 Vision Board Clip Art Book from Manifestation Pulse. If you are curious, or fancy trying your hand at making a vision board of your own, then come along on this journey with me.
About Manifestation Pulse and the 2025 Vision Board Clip Art Book
Manifestation Pulse, founded in 2021, is a team of experienced coaches dedicated to helping people make their dreams a reality. Earlier this year they published The Guided Gratitude Journal which I featured in my guide to starting a gratitude journal. Their newest release is the 2025 Vision Board Clip Art Book which is here just in time to help you make a vision board for 2025!
Vision boards are a key tool that Manifestation Pulse use with their clients, to help them manifest the lives they want. According to the book, vision boards work by activating your reticular activating system, which helps you stay focused on the things you want to manifest. The book goes into more detail about how vision boards work in its first section.
I’ll be using the Vision Board Clip Art Book to make my own vision board, and will guide you through the process. So, let’s get ready to make a vision board!
Planning your vision board
In Section 2 of the Vision Board Clip Art Book, two exercises are shared to help you discover what matters most to you, formulate your goals, and decide what to put on your vision board. The pages guide you through the process and have blank spaces to fill in to help you figure things out.
The key takeaway I got from this section is the importance of considering different categories of your life, for example, health, relationships, finances and personal growth, and weighing up which are the most important for you at this time in your life, as well as which need the most work. Then you can formulate goals in those categories. Once you have a better idea of what your goals are, it will be easy to know what to put on your vision board.
How I Made My Vision Board
First, I needed to find a ‘board’ for my vision board. The book suggests using a cork board or a poster board if you want something more solid, but I didn’t have either of these. A large piece of cardboard would work just fine, and I ended up using an A3 sized envelope for mine (one of the ones with cardboard in to keep them from bending), because that is what I had on hand.
The main section of the 2025 Vision Board Clip Art Book is made up of over 600 images that you can cut out and stick to make your vision board. There is a mixture of photographs, text, quotes, cartoon images and customisable images with blanks to fill in.
I started by going through the clip art book and choosing images that I wanted to use. As I was choosing my images, I noticed how inclusive the book is. It includes images of people from all different races and backgrounds, and in the couples and families section, it includes gay and lesbian couples. I like that this book contains lots of diversity because it means everyone will find some images that they can relate to.
I used scissors to cut out the images that appealed to me, and set them aside to arrange on my vision board later. The images on the inner edge of the pages were quite tricky to cut out because they were close to the binding. I think spiral-bound or perforated pages would be more practical for this book, or a bigger margin on the inside edge of the pages would also have helped.
Once I had cut out the images I wanted to use, it was time to arrange them on my vision board and stick them down with glue. I used a pritt stick, but then it ran out so I switched to PVA glue – both worked equally well.
The layout of my vision board
I didn’t plan the layout too meticulously, but just started in one corner and tried to stick the images down in categories of related images. For example, I had areas of my board for health, money, relationships and other categories. However, there ended up being some overlap between the areas of my board. This is because certain pictures didn’t fit where I wanted them, and I also cut out some extra pictures halfway through because I realised I didn’t have enough.
As you can see, I used a combination of pictures and text, and I tried to spread these out evenly. As I got towards the end of making my vision board, I used some smaller pictures and text to fill in the gaps. There ended up being a few images I cut out but didn’t use because they didn’t fit on the board. I have saved these in case I decide to make a vision board next year! Using an envelope for my vision board worked out well for me because I am now storing my spare cut-outs inside the envelope for future use and to keep everything together.
I exclusively used pictures from the Clip Art Book for my vision board, but of course you can mix and match with pictures you find elsewhere. For example, you might have a very niche hobby or interest that you want to feature on your board, in which case you would find images of that online or in a relevant magazine. You could even use photographs you have taken yourself, and pictures of actual things, places and people in your life that you would like to see more of in 2025.
How to display your vision board
Once you have made a vision board, it’s important to have it on display in a place where you will see it every day. The book suggests displaying it in your bedroom or living area. This way, you will regularly be reminded of your goals and visions. I am planning to simply blue-tack mine to my bedroom wall, but you could also frame your vision board.
The goals represented on my vision board
Here I will briefly explain some of the goals I have represented on my vision board, so that you can use it as an example when making yours. Of course, your goals will be different from mine, but there may be some overlap on some of the categories.
- Health – I’d like to focus on eating healthy, staying hydrated and exercising in 2025, and this is represented on the top left of my board.
- Finances – I plan to work hard and aim to earn more money in 2025, and the top right of my vision board reflects that.
- Mental health and mindfulness – I want to get the balance between hard work and relaxation in 2025, so I have included various references to mindfulness towards the right of my board.
- Fashion – one of my current focuses is trying to be more stylish and wear higher-quality, sustainable clothing items rather than poor-quality, fast fashion. I’ve referenced this towards the bottom right of my board.
- Moving house – I’d like to move into my own home in 2025 so I have included images related to a new home in the top left of my vision board.
- Relationships – I’d like to work on my relationships and building connections with people in 2025 so this is reflected at the bottom left of my board.
- Fun – although I plan to work hard next year, I also want to have fun too. This is shown at the bottom middle of my board.
