Try buying a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 or 2 x 2 length of wood and cut it into squares. As for the pattern on it I use iron on transfer paper. I make my pattern in a t-shirt pattern software. Make sure you make all your pattern on one sheet of patter the size you need 1x1 or 2x2, fill the whole page with different designs or the alphabet. Otherwise it will waste the paper. Then print it out on the light colored material transfer paper per instructions. Then follow the instructions for ironing it on. This has worked for me. Just a suggestion.
