They're not too difficult - but "O" is the easiest!

I could do 'em if you really want - but they're well worth having a crack at them yourself.

For J start with the inner section of the bit surrounding the J (i.e. make a closed U shape out of white). Then run black along the right hand side of the U from half way along the top to the bottom of the U. Encase with white up to the bit under the top of the J and then add a line of black to extend the top bit of the J out to the right. Encase in White all the way around and build this into a round shape by adding more white where necessary.

Hmmm.......that's difficult to put into words, so here's someone on Wetcnvas making some:
