Help with Pillow
Hi everyone,
I was thinking of making a pillow with our last name spelled out in periodic table elements. (Yes, we're nerdy.) I'd be hand stitching it as I don't have a sewing machine. Any suggestions for making the periodic table element squares? Could I screen print them? Would iron-on look good?
I'm pretty crafty, I just don't sew too much. (Yet!)
Any tips / advice / suggestions would be welcome!
I want it to look kinda like this:

I would buy one from the seller, but they don't do custom. 
Re: Help with Pillow
Screen printing or iron on would both look good
I found these patches for you. Not sure what size they are, but if they have all of the elements you need, that might work.
If you don't sew, I would just buy a pillow cover and pillow insert to make that part easier. Then, if you get the patches, you could only have to sew or iron those on the cover.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
The image that you posted looks like a good candidate for screen printing, especially if you have a die cut machine (Silhouette or Cricut) to cut out the template.
Cute idea! I should make something like that for my friend who is a chemical engineer.
