I recently had to invent my own palm tree design. I searched high and low and could not find a metal design stamp for a tiny 2mm palm tree, so I made one by combining a few letter stamps. The font is Verona and it is 2mm tall.
1. Start with a capital X sideways.
2. Add 2 lowercase v, aiming the points at the center of the X, but not lined up with the lines in the X.
3. Use a capital I for the trunk.
4. Add a lowercase l upside down centered over the I, but off a little to widen the trunk at the base.
Variations are endless, of course. More leaves, trunk leaning one way or the other, experiment and have fun! I love how the capital X has a little swirl that looks like a hanging coconut!
Hope you like my little Palm Tree!
