How to Create Floral Alphabets – 5 Ways

February 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

Five Ideas to Create Floral Alphabets | Chocolatemusings.com #floralalphabets #flowers #letters

If you’re looking for a challenge, try combining the alphebet with different elements. In this case, with florals. Try it, you’ll find that there are always new ways to combine the alphabet with flowers. Here are five different ideas to create your very own version of a Floral Alphabet.

Start Your Inspiration

First off – if you want to learn how to doodle flowers, but you’re not sure where to start – here’s my post highlighting my favorite floral doodling books.

Or you can check out this post on doodling flowers (without drawing!)

Dress up your alphabet with wreaths! Here are 3 ways to draw circular floral wreaths.

Here’s one last inspirational idea for you – check out my Floral Bullet Journal Theme.

Now it’s time to get started!

Floral Alphabet Version 1:

Block Letter O Outline with Flowers | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters

Choose a block-letter style and fill the inside of the letter with various types (or the same type) of flowers.

You can choose to draw the flowers exclusively inside or have some flowers break out of the lines. I have a hard time staying within the lines.

Ideas for the background:

You can leave it all black and white with a white background, fill the background with a single color or pattern, or add splots of colors loosely to the flowers.

  • Block Letter D Outline + Filled with Flowers | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters
  • Letter S Outline with losely colored flowers - Ideas for Floral Alphabets| ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters

Flower Alphabet Version 2:

Choose a flower, then use that flower as the main stem or stems of the letter. As you can see, little tweaks here and there add even more variety.

  • Letter F with Flower - Ideas for different alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #letters #ideas #alphabet #florals
  • Letter F with Flower - Ideas for different alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #letters #ideas #alphabet #florals

Alphabet Version 3:

Create another shape like a circle or square around the outside of a blocky or bolded letter. Fill the background space with the flowers and then create the letter using negative space (so the area where the letter would appear is blank).

  • Letter R Flower Background - Ideas for floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters
  • Letter R Flower Background Plus Flourish - Ideas for floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters

Botanical Alphabet Version 4:

Create the letter using only florals to form the shape. Another way to add more variety is to add some color or flourishes!

  • Letter Q Flower Alphabet - Ideas for floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters
  • Letter Q Flower Alphabet - Ideas for floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters
  • Letter Q Flower Alphabet - Ideas for floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #floral #alphabet #flowers #letters

Floral Alphabet Version 5:

Letter the names of flowers starting with each letter of the alphabet. Technically that makes it a floral alphabet, right? Add a doodle of each flower near it’s lettered name.

Fun with lettering + flower doodles | ChocolateMusings.com

Bonus tip:

If you’re creating a lot of the same type of Add extra detail to the leaves and petals for a few particular flowers to bring them out from the crowd.

  • Painting Serif Letter A - Ideas for creating different floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #lettera #watercolor #floralalphabet
  • Adding the flowers Letter A- Ideas for creating different floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #lettera #watercolor #floralalphabet
  • Painting vine flourishes letter A - Ideas for creating different floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #lettera #watercolor #floralalphabet
  • Flourished Letter A - Ideas for creating different floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #lettera #watercolor #floralalphabet
    Flourished Letter A – Ideas for creating different floral alphabets | ChocolateMusings.com #lettera #watercolor #floralalphabet

I had so much fun creating all these styles. As you can see, changing details here and there seem to make a completely different style!

Which way do you think you’ll try first? Of course, you’re welcome to try more than one. I hope you’ve got some ideas on how to create a variety of floral alphabets and you’re inspired to start doodling! Make sure you pin your favorite style to your Pinterest or share it on Facebook with your friends.

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
