It’s always lovely to make something personalised for yourself or a gift, especially if it’s an uncommon name that isn’t usually available. These craft patterns, DIYs and supplies will give you lots of ideas for your next project.
Mollie at Wild Olive has created a donut-inspired Sprinkles Alphabet with patterns and instructions for both felt appliqué and embroidery. The kawaii faces make these extra cute and the appliques could also be turned into brooches or keyrings.
Rose Stitch Art (UK) has the whole alphabet available as embroidery patterns or a custom kit, with your choice of thread colours. This is like a mini sampler with lots of different stitches to practice – the flowers look so tactile!
Little Dear (US) has a beautiful Woodland Animals Alphabet embroidery sampler that you can buy as a digital pattern, printed fabric or in a bundle with a matching numbers design. The full design would look lovely framed on the wall but you could also use individual letters for an initial or monogram.
NeedleMinderLair has 14 different alphabet patterns for cross stitch including rainbow stripes in various colour schemes, cherry blossom, crystals and Christmas. You can stitch the letters individually or arrange them into a name or phrase.
oniso shows you how to make initials with punch needle and turn it into a keychain. She uses templates from her own book but you could trace a letter from any alphabet or draw your own. I love how fluffy they look.
If you need something different, LoveCrafts has collected a huge range of free and affordable alphabet patterns to download, including crochet, knitting, embroidery and cross stitch. There’s also project patterns to make everything from initial jumpers to bunting.
If you enjoy cardmaking, journaling or snail mail, but don’t have good handwriting, rubber stamps are great for easily adding cute lettering and these Cat & Bear Alphabet rubber stamp sets at Mossy Paper Co. (UK) are so adorable! They would be better as initials or drop caps and there’s some simpler alphabets in the shop that would be more readable for long titles.
Beaded bracelets and charms are easy to make and fun to share, and Happy Kawaii Supplies (UK) have so many different colours and shapes of alphabet beads to choose from, along with all the jewellery supplies you need. Prices are very low too so you can mix and match like you’re in a sweet shop.
