Hello all!
I received an order from someone who asked me to stamp her initials in the bag I will make.
I don‘t have any alphabet set and dont want to spend 300 usd /eur to use just two letters (Also, I am not having enough income yet from my sold items to cover the invest in tools, so...)
Do you guys know any affordable alphabet set (or even if they sell single letters somehwere) with nice typography just to be able to comply with this order?
Thanks for your comments,
-Maru
Hey Maru,
your best best for a cheap alphabet stamp is Tandy. I started with them, they are inexpensive and give a great impression in the leather. It takes a bit of practive to align the letters, but if it is just initials, it is not a real problem (for longer words, use a ruler and index the letters to it).
They have 2 sets (basially, 2 different fonts):

https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/craftool-1-4-6-mm-alphabet-number-set (This one also comes with numbers).
They are either 20 or 27 Euros Max, and they will ship from Jerez, so shipping shoul be quick and inexpensive for you :)
Check out these 3 posts from my Instagram to see the result they give

Hope this helps :)
I think @olena.wills has a few sets. She may be able to make a recommendation.
I don’t have his letters but i’ve bought stitching irons and paring knives from Kevin Lee and they’re high quality.
Hey Maru!
The other day I was searching for not expensive alphabet stamps and found this set from Kevin Lee

The price is $131 for basic set(at least it's not $300 :) ). Not sure about the quality.
