Creating with Joy

Here's a sweet gift idea for the princess in your life - give her a personalized headband to frame the hair around her face, and a "sweet dreams" decorative pillow to rest her precious head. There's precious little you can't make more special with Joy - look for a variety of embroidered iron-on letters at […]

Give the kids an extra special treat this year with their very own personalized trick-or-treat bags. Try putting a Halloween greeting in black lettering on one side, and the kids' names on the back using orange lettering. No more fighting over whose bag is whose! These cute candy corn bags came from Canvas Corps Brands. […]

A handmade book of ABCs makes a cherished gift for a baby that's sure to become a keepsake. These large, block-style embroidered iron-on letters from Joy seemed perfect for a handmade children's soft book to learn their ABCs. They are soft to the touch, raised off the page, but still securely attached - perfect for […]

Signs and banners - so many ways to turn embroidered iron-on letters into mantras and meaningful memorabilia. Your university letters on a banner make great dorm room or college party décor. And of course, every crafter knows what the three most important things in life are...right?

Hanging monogrammed towels in the bathroom is a southern tradition. My youngest daughter recently moved into her first apartment and we've been busy decorating. A fresh set of towels and some fancy soap is just what every new apartment dweller needs. It was quick and easy to iron-on her initials above the band of the […]

Now this is a great idea - a special tote bag designated just for the books you check out from the library. Use it to carry them home, but more importantly, use it to hold the books at home that you've finished reading until you're ready to turn them in. No more library books getting […]

For babies, spitting and pooping are a way of life. If you're a parent (or grandparent) with a sense of humor, then put your wit into words! Iron-on your favorite funny sayings to baby onesies, diaper pants, bibs and more. Give the guests a giggle at the next baby shower - this is a super […]

You just can't have too many tote bags. We use them for grocery shopping, carrying essentials to the ballpark or beach, and of course the holidays are filled with good reasons to tote stuff around. Pick out your favorite iron-on letters and numbers, combine them with decorative trims and fabric glue, and you can quickly […]

We love going to amusement parks like Disneyland in Southern California. Many amusement parks and resorts offer special deals, like this backpack we recently got at Disneyland earlier this year. But with a sale price, that means everyone has the same backpack, so sometimes it's hard to tell ours apart from the same backpacks that […]

My little Miss Muffet does enjoy a fluffy tuffet! You can easily personalize any pillow for your pet. Whether you're stitching up a pillow cover from scratch or embellishing a readymade pillow, Joy letters are super quick and easy to work with. I cut a square of fabric with a blue flower in the center […]

Ever wonder what to do with scraps of fleece that are leftover after completing a project?  I had some yardage left and made this baby-friendly plush owl. An iron-on number by JOY reflects the child's age. Alphabet letters for initials work here too! You will need: Joy iron-on number 12" x 33" piece of fleece […]

The Princess (aka my grandaughter) will be one year old very shortly (which I can't believe!) and of course she will need something to wear while eating cake. Out came my iron-on letters from Joy, of course. Here she is in her custom made onesie, digging into some cake! I used the Baby Monogram letters and […]
