about the joy
At Patch of Joy, we believe joy is personal — and your canvas should be too. That’s why we created the Canvas of Joy, a reimagined vision board designed to help you reflect, dream, and celebrate what brings you happiness. From wall hangings to wearable pieces, each canvas is made for you to personalize with a custom-embroidered Message of Joy, adding your own inspiring touch.
Our handmade Mini Patch Packs feature themed sets of three iron-on patches, perfect for customizing your canvas — or bringing new life to any fabric-based item you already love.
Looking for something truly one-of-a-kind? B.Y.O.J. (Bring Your Own Joy) Patch lets you design your own patch using our quiz, or order a B.Y.O.J. Name Patch that finally spells your name the way you do. No more souvenir shop letdowns — just joy, made your way.
