Let's say that we take a fictional person by the name of Frank Thomas Smith. His initials would be FTS. The first thing that we would do would be to decided on which rune set we would use. Since the most popular of the rune sets is the elder futhark, or at least it's the set that has the most written information readily available, we'll use that one. Now we have to find the three rune symbols from that set that represent the letters F, T and S.
F - Fehu
T - Teiwaz
S - Sowulo
The next step in the process of making a bind rune is to find a way to combine these three symbols in any way possible so that we limit the number of lines we need to draw. You can invert the rune symbols, draw them so they look like a mirrored reflection of themselves, anything you want. Take a look at the image below to see one way we might combine these three symbols to make one bind rune.
Now mind you that this is only one way we could have done this. Below is another example of how we could have done this.
We are also not limited to using the bind runes only for our initials. Say that you're someone who's a little superstitious and want to make a charm to protect you. We could take a look at the meanings of the runes from the elder futhark and see that the runes Thurisaz and Elhaz are both runes of protection. We could also add in the rune Kenaz so that we can have that "inner light" that will help us to stay out of trouble. Now that we have our runes we again have to combine them to make the new symbol. Below are two examples of how we could do this.
