I'm so excited to share a fun and easy method to create fonts with my own handwriting! I used an app called iFontMaker on the iPad and made my first font in about 30 minutes. 🙂 It was super fun and self-explanatory. Here's how it works:
There are some standard fonts to choose from. You choose a font and then the app guides you through the entire alphabet (uppercase, lowercase, symbols), you draw each letter using the font as a guide for size and shape. It's so fun, Jeremy even made one!
The stylus I used was the Bamboo Stylus for iPad. I hope some of you get a chance to try it (and the app too). I highly recommed them.
Here are a few (silly) examples of the fonts that I made in one sitting… If you would like the download these two fonts, just for fun, here they are: Download LoveLove + Download Tall 'n Skinny. ♥ if clicking links doesn't start download, right click (control + click on Mac), choose "Save file/link as…"// Mac * PC
If you've used a different method to make your own font, please share. Hope you have a great day! Elsie

I ALWAYS use this fonts… can you PLEASE create more! I love how original they are.
wow nice blog thanks for sharing
NICE BLOG My brother recommended I may like this blog. He was totally
right. This put up truly made my day. You can not believe simply how much
time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
Such a lovely font!
Oh BTW, I love your blog! Would you mind if I marry it? ^^
Fab link! Many Thanks 🙂
Thank you for the fonts–this looks like a cool app! 😉
When I first tried to download the fonts it didn’t work (using Windows 7 & Firefox). Then I realized it was automatically saving them as a text doc.
So in the pop-up save menu, I changed the drop-down “save as type” from “text file” to “all files,” then it saved correctly as a .ttf file.
Hope this helps if anyone else is having the same trouble! 😀
How fun! Thanks for sharing!
But here is the big question- can you actually USE them on your iPad?! And if so, how?
These are AWESOME. Thanks so much.
I’ve always wondered how to make fonts! this app makes it look super duper easy. I don’t have an ipad, but there is one in the classroom where I work. this would be super fun to do with some of my students.
I love it! I’ve downloaded it immediately!
LOVE this! finally downloaded and made my own font here: http://2ttf.com/NhL5JcHy
So fun. Thanks so much!
This is so so fun! Just bought the app and a bamboo stylus and I’m having a blast. Thanks Elsie!
And how about kerning and spacing?
This is cool. Definitely, I will try this and I will create my own Font.
Love your font so much!! Appreciate if you could share how the font merge with photos,thanks!!
So awesome. I’m gonna have to steal my mom’s iPad for that. Too bad I can’t do that on a Macbook or iPhone; then I wouldn’t have to wait to use hers!
Thanks for the links!

Just amazing how creative you are!!! Love the fonts – thanks a lot!!!
adore these! thanks for sharing!!
That space on the T. I wonder if this app supports kerning.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing Elsie. I just got an iPad mini and am so excited to get started with all the things it can do. Maybe you’ve already done this, but I’d love to hear about what other cool things you do with your iPad, what apps you like, etc. Thanks!!
Lovely idea! Does anyone know of any Android apps that can do the same thing?
That’s soo awesome! Thank you!
So cute!!! This is so creative an awesome idea!
I was wondering–I know that you use your bamboo tablet to add font to photographs. Is there a way to do this using an app on an ipad (with this stylus for example) without having to buy a bamboo tablet as well???
Hi Yummy,
I use photoshop CS to add text to my photos!
XOXO
Awesome idea!
I was wondering what do you use to aplly text to your pics?
Does somebody know if there is version for Samsung tablet?:)
makes me wish I had an ipad! 🙂
Wow! You guys are so talented and creative at EVERYTHING! Thanks so much!
So exciting! I’m just getting into graphic design and typography and so of course I’m ridiculously over-excited about it all, but this app just made my day! Downloading right now. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi! This is great!!! The quality of your pictures is great as well!
Which ipad do you have? Do you have the retina screen? I wonder which ipad I should get…
Thank you for sharing!
so wonderful! thanks for sharing your fonts!!
This is such a fun idea! I cannot wait to try!
Renee <3
AHH!! THis is awesome! As a designer I’m obsessed with fonts! Downloading NOW!!
I’m with Britta – loving the nail polish and would love to know what color/brand that is!
Sounds like fun!
I happen to be on my iPad right now, gonna try it right away!
I’m obsessed. Just another reason why I need an iPad in my life!! Thank you SO MUCH for showing us this incredible app!
Downloading this now! This is too cool 🙂
This is so helpful! I just got my stylus, and I’m so excited to try this out 🙂
Love your handwriting! 🙂 I have recently bought myself the Bamboo stylus to make my own handwritten fonts, it seems really cool 🙂
I downloaded as well your fonts and can’t stop using them, especially the lovelove for my photos
This is great!!!!!! I’ve been trying to make my own font for a long time using Illustrator but it was to complicated for me- so this is really helpful. Thank you for sharing :)!!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING~ I LOVE THE FONTS, ESP LOVELOVE. 🙂
My Bamboo stylus is my absolutely favorite thing and I’ve actually been debating this app download for some time. You’ve just convinced me. Thanks!
I bought the app because of you recommendation, and I love it! I would really like to hear about some of the other apps you use.
That is adooooorable!

Oh, joy! Yet another reason that I need to get an iPad. They have so many cool apps for them. I downloaded both fonts, because they are very cute and I am kind of addicted to fonts. 🙂
I was wondering if you could list your favorite iPad apps as I have just bought one! I will definitely be trying this font app. Thanks for sharing!
Yay! I downloaded the fonts and use the font Tall and Skinny for my business cards, adds a lovely, one of a kind touch to my cards!
What a great post, thanks for sharing Elsie. I’m definitely going to make my own!
SO AMAZING. Can’t wait to give this a whirl.
WOW! Technology amazes me. I remember making my handwriting into a font about 7 years ago when I was 13 and it took DAYS. I had to scan and individually edit every letter and symbol that I wanted to use in paintshop. I don’t remember the program I used to make the font but I won’t even bother recommending it because it was so very time consuming. I am starting to see the point of having an iPad now…

So cute! I make and sell my own fonts by writing them out and scanning them into software I bought, but I had no idea there was an iPad app! I will have to try it out 🙂
LOVE these elsie! I think I used the love love on this flyer I made for the new shop Im working on… http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/270404_510846828927053_904341450_n.jpg

I am so ridiculously excited to try this! Placing my order for the stylus right now!
This is so super cute! I’ve downloaded the first one and am using it to type letters to my friends in Word 🙂
Thanks for the fonts!
I love your blog so much, so inspiring!
Loves from INDONESIA <3<3
This is so awesome! I downloaded both of them to use for my resume. I’m making it a little playful! Thank you!
Thank you for these, they’re terrific!
Great fonts Elsie! You have always had such fun handwriting. Thanks for sharing with us 🙂

http://ahopelessnotebook.blogspot.com/
is this real life? hahah! i downloaded the app and began creating stat! one thing though, how to you import it from your ipad to a download-able font so i can use it in photoshop on my own computer?
I just made my first font! I loved this tutorial so ordered a Bamboo Stylus, borrowed my husband’s iPad and away I went! Perfect timing as I’m experimenting with typography and hand lettering so thank you so, so much for this post. Will be making many more… xx
This is so awesome!! thanks for sharing. I always love following your blog
I love hand written fonts…wish I had an ioad.

Thank you so much! The fonts are great!
Elsie: It all works now! Woot. My mac is older and sometimes it has sick days ;]
This is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll be on it!
How sad is it that all I care about is if that’s your dog and what its name is?

I wish I had an Ipad !! 😉
Thanks so much for sharing this as it was really easy and fun to do.
Seriously, the best app ever!
Am I allowed to use these fonts on my photos for the blog? It would be so amazing!
Best wishes Sarah
I’m so excited that you posted this! I’ve loved all your posts about how you added handwriting to your photos but now I can do it to! Thanks so much!
SOOOO fun! I need to do this! I take it you have to buy a stylus?
OMG – this app is amazing! I’ve always wanted to make my own font! And I am totally going to buy that Bamboo Stylus. 🙂 Oh yeah, and I downloaded your fonts.
Wow, I’m so inspired by this. I just love handwriting and would die to get to practice on an Ipad! Thanks for sharing, I didnt knew it existed! I really like your fonts (says the font addict).
Very cool! Now I REALLY want to get an ipad for Christmas!
This is awesome! Thanks for you sharing…now if I could just get my boyfriend to release the Ipad long enough for me to try it lol
This is amazing, I will have to try this out!

Amazing! Those fonts look so fun and incredible! I am for sure downloading them. =D I think I’m going to have to try making my own fonts now. It looks like a blast!
SoKnitpicky, the pillow is from Urban Outfitters. XO!
Thank you for a brilliant post and for the cool fonts. Not content with downloading your fonts, I bought the app and created two of my own using my finger! (It’s now 2 in the morning – oops!) Very addictive – thanks again Elsie 🙂
p.s. tomorrow Im getting a stylus!
How fun is that?! Hand written fonts are my absolute favorite & I’ve always wanted to create my own to make my blog feel even more me.
Thank you for the info on the app. Can I also ask where you got that amazing throw pillow?
Holy cow, this app was MADE for me!! I love fonts and calligraphy. Thanks for sharing!! Now I just need a stylus!
That’s kind of AWESOME!!!!! makes me want to buy an ipad… 😀
Christina- it’s a Bamboo stylus. It’s linked in the post! XOXO.
I love this! What kind of “pen” are you using to write the fonts with on the ipad?
Thanks! These are awesome!
These fonts are lovely! I can’t wait to try them out. Thank you so much for sharing them with all of us!
thank you!!
Your blog is so inspiring! I’ve been a long time follower, yet have never commented. I just wanted to say that your blog inspires me to create, everyday!
Keep up the inspiration!
Thanks!

This is really cool! Tanks for the fonts as well. I really love the LoveLove font!
So awesome! I was always wondering how you make those beautiful fonts! <3 (:
http://birdiewearsatie.blogspot.com/
I’d love to have all of my own fonts to work with but only knew how someone could scan writing to use a font. Seeing my own handwriting on my blog header was one of my proudest moments and I thought of that when I saw yours. Font making is such a great hobby. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Elsie!
I just downloaded both fonts, I don’t know what happened yesterday.
I did make my own font once! But I used Internet (http://www.yourfonts.com/). I printed a page with squares where I had to write my own signs. Then I scanned it and uploaded on this site and ta daa, it worked;)
This looks like so much fun!!
I am having a debate in my head on what to purchase and it’s going between Ipad and Iphone. Now I was leaning towards an Iphone more but seeing posts like this make me doubt my choice one again… Haha! One day I’ll have them both!
love, Saar
i am so excited! i just downloaded the app! thank you!!
I use myscriptfont.comyou print the sheet out, write your font using the guides, then scan it and upload it tote sign, and POOF! You have a font ( plus a little waiting)
Do you need Photoshop to use these? This may be a dumb question but how do I use them once they are downloaded?
Elsie, I love your blog! Thank you for the free fonts…love them!
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I have made a ton of .ttf fonts with www.yourfonts.com.
Some I have paid for and sometimes they have discounts & freebies if you subscribe to their email list. Have fun!! Katie 🙂
Nice post and pictures too! Thanks for sharing with us!
That may be the coolest app ever. I mean…EVER!
Thanks for sharing.
Totally had to download and try it, thanks to you. Loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Where can I get that pillow!!?? 🙂
So fun!! I downloaded both fonts, thank you so much! I typically do the same thing in PSE, then upload via an online font converter and then post to dafont.com. But I really love yours!!
~Sacha
Super cute! Wish there was a font-making app for an android tablet!
Another easy way, I made my own font by using this site: http://www.myscriptfont.com/. Follow the instructions and in no time you have your own handwriting-font! 🙂
Love,
Marlies
Thank you so much Elsie for sharing these beautiful fonts you’ve made! I love your writing!
Claire, I added the link to the post. Here it is- http://2ttf.com/ 🙂 Thanks!
beautiful handwriting again<3 i love it that is a must-try app! 🙂
Love these fonts! so cool. 🙂
Oh I really like the LoveLove font! Great job!
Bisous, Luu
They’re both brilliant! I love the 2nd one.
Grat idea!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Now I must go to the App Store… 😉
Thanks for sharing these! I love them!
why can’t I find the app? There is no app called iFontMaker…
Can you post a link to it?
WHAT. This is amazing. And totally makes me want an iPad.
oh if i could afford to buy an ipad *sighs*… looks so cool… great 😀
This is so awesome! I always love the fonts you use on your pictures. I wish I had an ipad 🙁
Soooo cool, I want to have a go!!!
thanks so much for sharing, i LOVE this! and downloaded both your beautiful fonts 🙂
rachel x
Great idea! I think your fonts came out quite nicely! 🙂
I’m totally in love with the yellow cushion on your side. Can you please tell where to buy it?
thank you. -Sahra
Oh thanks a lot for sharing the fonts. I searched a lot for exactly such fonts but can’t find anything. Hope you’ll make some more 🙂 Greetings from Germany.
Sarah
I love this app on my ipad, but need to try to use it more. I typically have to try a font several times before I get one that I really would want to use. I love yours! Thanks!
This is great! Would love to make my own font for my blog, it just adds a bit more of a personal touch 😀 And it could be a nice present for geek friends, haha.
Well, I’m going for the ipad mini that was just announced, so hopefully it works with that. I’ve always wanted to make a custom font for lune use. Thanks for the intro (ps.cute fonts!)
That is really neat! I don’t have an iPad, so for now, I’ll stick with photoshop to satisfy my font-making needs.
http://collegiatelifestyle.wordpress.com/
Thanks! I’m always looking for cool handwriting fonts. These are both unique and fun!
Oh, those are awesome! Somehow, I’m going to have to get my dad to lend me his iPad for this. I think I died when I saw that we could download those. There is like nothing better than a font by Elsie Larson. Ahhhhh! That curly “e” one looks pretty! Thanks!

greetings from germany
I LOVE these, but I am also having issues downloading … it just opens a separate page in code instead of prompting a download. Is there something different I could try?
Thanks so much for sharing this, Elsie!! I love your handwriting, and a font is just perfect!
That`s a great application!!

Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful font love 🙂 & I was wondering what stylus could be used on the ipad, thanks for sharing!! Def. will try it out.
This is so cooL! I wish I had an iPad just for this now!!! 🙂
That’s so cool!
Does it just make Mac fonts, or can the fonts you create with it be used on PC’s as well?
Thanks! 🙂
What great fun! Thanks so much for sharing this. Don’t you love modern technology?! I love my iPad. So creative and fun!
WOW. I am getting both this app and the stylus pen. Thanks for the recommendations :))
Your fonts remind me of Clarissa Explains It All! Ah, memories!
Sophie
That looks cool! I wish i had an ipad!
Wahh now I really wish I had an iPad! Maybe my boyfriend will let me borrow his…?
Alli xx
Love your font! Will be using it for a blog post on Friday 🙂
I hope that’s okay
So cool!!!
I just downloades both!! This is so fun!!
That’s really cool! Such an easy way, much quicker than the old way (scanning in, tracing, putting in fontlab, editing…)
The only problem I see is that there isn’t kerning added. Does the app allow you to edit the letter spacing and kerning? It’s super easy to manually do it in programs like Photoshop, but you would have to do it every time you use it…
Overall, it’s great, and I love handwritten fonts!
http://whiskeybreakfast.blogspot.com
That’s so cool! Does it just make Mac fonts, or can the fonts you create be used on PC’s also?
Thanks!
love, love, love this post!!! thank you so much!!!!
I do the same thing with my Samsung Note tablet! Additionally, for those without iPads or Notes, there’s a website that will make your font for 10 bucks. Here’s the link: http://www.yourfonts.com/fontgenerator/860556.html. There’s also a blogger named Amanda of kevinandamanda.com that will make your font for free if you submit it to her, but it isn’t a guarantee. She also has A LOT of handwritten fonts free for download.
I used http://www.myscriptfont.com/ – it’s free and easy; the only downside is that the fonts are tiny so can’t be used for posters and what-not. I *love* having a font of my handwriting, though!
these look great and I had to download them. will have to see if something like this also exists for the iphone, as I dont have an ipad. would love to make my own fonts <3
Thank you so much!
XO

Such cute fonts! I love them!!
People who is trying download and have a pc, you have to save da page, all of that and when ask a name to save you have to put LoveLove.ttf (for example)
– sorry for the english
Great!!!! I already downloaded.
Awwww the fonts are so nice – clean lines and fun. I want to make some, but no i Pad. Never thought I would say that 😛

Very nice! Thanks for sharing, I just downloaded them.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been dreaming of making my own fonts for a lonnnggg time. Now it’s actually possible. Just have to buy the stylus first!
I didn’t even know this whas possible, but I like it a lot.
Thanks, I’ll defenitly use these two!
How fun! I’ve always wanted to make my own font. I don’t have an iPad though booo. I love the two you made 🙂 did Jeremy complete his? And you look so much like Emma in the first picture! x
Wow!!! This post is so cool! And so useful!! I want to try!!:D
This is so cool, too bad I don’t have an iPad. I’ll definitely download your fonts.

Yet another reason why I NEED an iPad. How awesome is it that you can create your own font. I’d really like to digitize my own drawings and utilize them for sewing patterns and fabric prints, some day. You’ve convinced me yet again how cool technology is.
Your highlights are so brilliant! As well as the outfit and polish!
Thank you, Cindy G! I was able to download them that way 🙂 thank you, Elsie..these are the cutest!
Time to go steal my boyfriend’s iPad, hehe! 😉
I can’t wait to give this a try! I’m in love with the fonts you created. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE the fonts Elsie! So much fun! can’t wait to try out the program for myself!
Seriously loving these! That could be addictive!
Awesome!! Thanks! I love new fonts 😀 Both of these are pretty.

So fun story, the girl who sits next to me in class was admiring my notes and said that I should turn my handwriting into a font. Glad to know how I can make that happen now!

These are darling! I wonder if there is a computer based program like that to use with a drawing tablet…
I remember way back in the day (think 1999), I once got to make my own font. My brothers friend gave us this template that you printed out, filled in each character box with the corresponding letter by hand, found someone with a scanner, scanned it in, emailed it back to his friend to run in his program and boom he sent you your new font file. So easy! ha.
for those having trouble: try right clicking on the link and selecting “save link as”. once it’s on your desktop [or wherever] you should be able to double click and then install.
I also just downloaded the app and can’t wait to start making fonts! thanks so much for sharing 🙂
wow! I wish I had an ipad!! When I’ve made my own fonts it’s taken me HOURS… scanning, cleaning the letters up in photoshop, importing them into illustrator, then importing them into a font program and editing them even more there. It might be worth buying an ipad just to avoid all that in the future lol 😀
Those are adorable! I love it!

Alright. I was able to download them the second time. It also helped that I closed my Photoshop CS5 then re-opened. Thank you so much, Elsie!! Also, I use a PC.
Those are great – thank you so much for sharing them with us!
I’m wondering if I can get my grandmother to sit down with something like this. I’d love to have her handwriting as a font so I can use it forever!
I don’t have an iPad, but every time I see something cool like this, I totally want one!
To download the fonts, I clicked on the link, which opened a bunch of gobbledy-gook in a new tab. Then, I clicked “File” and “Save Page As” and then made sure “All Files” was selected for the file type. I saved them to my desktop and then installed them. I just checked and they both look awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing your fonts and how you made them. Now, I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on an iPad and a stylus. Someone I know must have one I can play with 🙂
soo cool! I just need an ipad now, ja!
If you don’t have a stylus, you can use your finger.
Wow awesome!!!

Cute fonts! This looks like such a fun thing to do and very creative. I really want to try it! I just only need an Ipad…hmmm…haha. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hi guys! I am not sure why some readers are able to download and some aren’t. If you can’t download, are you using a mac or pc?

I ‘love love’ these fonts! I think I see a bamboo stylus in my future 🙂 thanks for sharing your fonts! You should do a tutorial on how to save fonts and allow people to download them off our blogs like you did!
I couldn’t download them 🙁 something is wrong with the links..

My nail polish is Essie’s “Orange, It’s Obvious” 😀
Very cool! I’ve had an iPad before and loved it,but we don’t have one anymore. Thank you for the fonts – I love handwritten ones!
Cin,
I am not sure what the issue is. I just tried to download one and it worked for me.
Is anyone else having issues?
XOXO. elsie
this is wonderful! I remember trying to make a font our of my handwriting in middle school with a cheapo PC program–you had to print out a template, fill out squares, scan it, and adjust the threshold. oh, how times have changed!
Awesome! These are very cute, Elsie! I downloaded and installed both of them! Can’t wait to use them!
this is wonderful! thank you! also, I love your nail color 🙂 what polish are you wearing?
This is so cool. I can see many a handmade font in my future!! Also, I’m downloading yours RIGHT AWAY!

Going to have to borrow my boyfriend’s ipad for this! So awesome!
I just downloaded both! Now I’m wishing I had an ipad to make fonts with. wondering if there’s an app for the iphone?
I absolutely love this and can’t wait to make some of my own!
Wow….this is awesome! I can’t wait to make some of my own too. I love this idea!
My dream in life is to make my own fonts! Cool app.
OH MY WORD ELSIE. These are so stinkin’ cute. I’m sure all my fontographer friends would cringe at calling making fonts easy, but I think for your purposes it’s awesome! I definitely want to download them. Thanks Elsie. xo. Deanna

This is soooooo cool! If only I had an ipad. Will have to do some research to make one using my bamboo tablet instead. Thanks for sharing Elsie!
This looks super easy and wonderful.
I can remember designing my own fonts using old windows based software, and giving up really quickly.
What an awesome idea. Does is save them to your ipad so you can use them in phonto?
*wishful thinking*
love these fonts!
This is incredible! Thanks for sharing, Elsie.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! Love your fonts and can’t wait to make my own! 😀
