Is there a font to make letters in nic nac? Nic nac, the little sweeties we give to our children, for Santa Claus.
I have seen someone's name, made by letters in nicnacs.

greetings

I'm going to have to ask what is a Nic Nac?

A nicnac is a sweet little biscuit, in the form of a character of the abc. The children receive it for Santa Claus or Saint Nicolas on 6th of December.

I try to put a photo in here, but no luck!

Come across this photo

But it would mean cutting out and pasting individual letters.

Isn't there a script that would separate the letters for them? I have not used it myself but am sure there is.

Always enjoy a challenge, so wondered how easy it would be to create my own Nic Nac text from scratch, Here's the result.

@Lomasgirl: Here is your alphabet in Nic Nac cookies to use as you desire.
