They can be used as regular characters in programs like Word, My Memories and Silhouette Studio!
That’s right, dingbats can provide thousands of shapes for you to use!
I used the font WW Flakes from Dafont.com for my Snowflake Chandelier.
You install them like a normal font. I walked you through the process in my post on adding unique fonts to your blog. Not ALL fonts will work in every program. I wish I could tell you why but I have no clue.
If you plan on working with a lot of dingbat fonts I highly recommend making an inventory sheet in Word or another program. I made a 4 column table like this:
You can highlight the column and change the whole think with one click. This font has the same characters for upper and lowercase, some have different characters. This font is Christmas Trees.
Here are a few other Dingbats you might enjoy:
I hope you have some fun playing around with dingbats!

Our last link was this adorable Owl Cake from Jessica
It’s so cute I want to hang it up on my wall and never let anyone eat it!

She was pretty rough looking. The rain had done it’s best to damage the buffet. The veneer was bubbly, large pieces were peeling off. There were no knobs on the drawers. The trim on the back was barely attached. She was missing a wheel and the drawers didn’t close.
Sometimes your tiny silkie hen disappears and you think one of the many local foxes grabbed her.
And then you get a call from your neighbor apologizing for finding a nesting chicken, with his hay mower.
Then when you’re out walking to fence line looking for the pieces and you find your little silke dead, not far from the remains of her nest. And you find this:
A single tiny egg. Smeared with it’s mothers blood. Left out in the hot sun for hours.
But you have to be stubborn to have farm.
So you put it in the incubator.
In the mean time your other silkie hen hatches her two eggs and she gets moved into a large fish tank in your spare room.
A week later your do your weekly candling of the turkey eggs and the silkie egg. But the hole for the candler is too big for the little egg, so you can’t see much.
That night your fiance wakes you up at 1 AM saying he heard peeping in the living room. Of course your first thought is the cat got the door open and snatched one of the week old chicks. But then you realize the peeping is coming from inside the incubator.
Crap. Did you know you’re supposed to take eggs off the turner 3 days before they hatch? Oops.
You open the incubator and the top is completely off the egg. You snatch it and almost immediately a wet little body flops out.

| Silkies have black skin, when this little peeper dries off he’ll be buff colored like the others |
Unfortunately the hatching incubator won’t heat up past 85 degrees. Double crap.
Little soon-to-be-fluff-ball goes in a plastic dish in the incubator on top of the egg turner. Mama silkie doesn’t want him, she does a nice little tap dance on his head. Back in the incubator he goes. Between messing with a heat lamp and a giant pot (might be the one we use to scald roosters…) and checking on the little guy to make sure he doesn’t flop out of the dish and get caught in the turner time flies by.
By the time you get it all working it’s 5 am. You normally leave for work at 6:30. Triple crap?
(Luckily my boss is awesome and I didn’t go in until 10. Also, my cat found a mouse and played with it in my bedroom during my 3 hours of sleep)

A few weeks ago I checked my email and found out I won a growth chart from Meegan of What Meegan Makes. I got it last week but this was the first time Mr Bentley Bean was able to come over to check out his new gift. He and his mamma (my sister) love it!

| I’m so BIG! |
It’s perfect for them because they are currently renting. Now they have a move-able growth chart to keep track of the little guy!

| This is the face he makes when we play ‘velociraptor’ |

So I gave it a purpose
These are probably 100 variations on this but I’ll share my method anyway.
