In this video I'm going to show you how to create a t-shirt design using
the Canva app on the iPad. It's all going to be on the iPad and I'm going
to show you how to upload it to things like Merch by Amazon and Redbubble. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name Is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing and
selling T-shirts online since 2005 and in this video I wanted to teach you how to do that on an
iPad. so a lot of you are mobile mobile friendly don't have a desktop maybe just have an iPad and
you can do all of this stuff on an iPad so I'm going to show you how to use the canva app I've
been using that if you saw this video right here is my 31 days of design I've done a lot of those
designs on the iPad in canvas so real easy to do I'll show you how to do it I'm not going to show
you everything that the canva app does I'm just going to show you how to do this design right here
if you want more canva iPad tutorials let me know that in the comments I definitely can show you
how to use the whole thing step by step this one is just a quick overview of What kinds of things
you can do on canva and then I'm going to show you how to upload it to merch by Amazon and Redbubble
and you can use the same technique actually upload it to any other pod site that you have
Etsy or whatever it is so let's get into the canva app on the iPad right now all right so here we are
on my iPad I'm going to show you where to get the canva app first so you go to your app store click
on there and then you just type in canva like that and you'll pull it up you're going to see
that I already have it installed so it says open but you'll be able to say it it'll say get for
yours if you don't have it and it's absolutely free it's going to tie into your canva account
so if you have the pro version or if you have the free version it'll know you can see here this is
the subscription trial for pro version if you don't have it already but you can do it through
the app as well so I'm going to cancel this and get out of here and you can see I have it right
there along with all some of the other ones I gotta show you these in another video but here's
canva just open it up like that and it opens up quick and you can see it remembers who I am
um just like the desktop app so now that we're here in canva let's start a new design I'll show
you how to do it we'll just hit create design and we can do custom and we'll remember the
things that we have on here so I'm going to do 4 500 by 5400 just click on there or you
can type in here but I'm going to do this you can see right away it's going to pull it up
pretty easy right so fast next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to type
on elements and let's go look for like um just a graphic so I'm going to do cat and coffee uh
all right whoops I spelled that wrong PE I can't coffee let's see what we got
and then let's just go graphics and you can see all the graphics are right here
pretty cool right really fast so let's just pick one of these just like we do on the desktop I'm in
the pro version so I can use any of these if you're not if you don't have the pro version
you can so let's just pick that and then to size it you just hit the corners just like
you would on here but you can use your finger now so just put it right there um and then see magic
recommendations you got a bunch of them here so let's let's do some oh these are the ones that I
use for one of my um designs so I'm gonna do that so let me get rid of that you can see it's so easy
um got this guy here and you can just size it right and let's do a bunch I don't know which
ones I used but I'll just use is here here maybe pink on this side and then let's see
that one's funny oh this is this is a dog why not for the dog hey let's do a
dog version instead since I already have a cat version see how easy it is to come up and then
there's a dog here dog here whoops that's cropping it whoops so you don't want to crop it let's see
okay
and then I think I might have tapped it too fast can always get out of it so click on here
click on this one and if you want to move the position you can go position and forward just
like the desktop we need one more here which one did we do yet tug tug this one's fun all right
okay now one thing you can do is get a bunch of them together so I believe you can do this
and then select multiple here
and then start doing that and I want this whole thing is a group so now I can hit group
and then kind of scale it by themselves together right
so now that they're in a nice group I can move them around make some room for some text
all right and now I believe yeah so they're separate now still so I didn't actually group them
so the next thing I'm going to do is add some text so let's um let's add some text so to add text I'm
just going to go here to the text there I can add text box since I don't have command T in my here I
just add text box and I can say easily distracted maybe shift whoops that was a lowercase easy
extracted
by oops all right that's good enough and then I'll put dogs and coffee underneath we can click
on it and move it up here and then we can still do the effects see that the Curve just like you
would expect it to do and then you can pick a font too find one here boom that's a cool one
all right and then if you want a different font of course you can
pick whatever font you want easy just touch it with your finger all right I'm just going to pick
that one uh we may want a thicker font there but that's okay uh and then scale these guys
down again so again hit the dots hit um select multiple boom boom boom scale it down see how
easy that is okay and then dogs and coffee under here so add another text box we're gonna do dogs
and coffee
boom click on it and you can easily make it bigger too just grabbing the corners boom okay so let's
just say this is the design that we want to save of course I would change it up and make it thicker
and there's still a lot of work on it but let's just say this is ready to go so what I would do
is click on this to share and then save with transparency this button right there say with
transparency click on that and then I already did this already so I'm going to show you what I did
I'm going to save it to my files here so I'm going to click save files and it's in my iCloud Drive I
click the Untitled folder here and I'm just going to save it so I already did this but this is what
I would do hit save and it's going to save it to your I iCloud drive and folder when you save
it to your photos on here it doesn't actually recognize it so you're going to have to save it
like as a file instead so that's that's my work around you could probably save it in other places
but this is what works for me so I have my iCloud drive here I hit save I'm going to cancel on this
one but it's in there trust me and then go into Redbubble or merch by Amazon either works I'll
show you both first let's log into merch by Amazon so here I am Amazon merch you can see Redbubble is
next here all you want to do is just click on here and look for your file now remember I didn't put
it in my photo library because it didn't work that way but I can choose file here and then
um I had it in my iCloud drive so I'll go iCloud drive right and desktop and remember as in the
Untitled folder and there it is I'm going to click on that and it's going to spin and now this one
has the transparent background right remember we saved it for the transparent background and I was
thinking about it and once it does it's going to load it onto these designs here and you'll see it
come up there you go and we'll do the same thing with the titles and description but I just wanted
to show you that it works right and then you hit save so you can see transparent background and
everything so if you've done this on the desktop same thing just go in and type in your titles and
keywords we're not going to do that today but I'll just show you that it does work right and
then Redbubble you're going to have to sign in so here if you haven't signed in you'll see here an
option to sign in but I've already signed in so here's detour shirts add new work right upload
new work and then again choose file same one and it should do the same thing here right so remember
this is the workaround is to make sure that you save it to a file not to your photos and you can
do all of this on your iPad if you're on vacation or have a good connection you can see same thing
it's all on there and you can just do the same thing like you did on the desktop stickers and
whatever it is on Redbubble and you can probably do it for the other print-on-demand shops as
well but I wanted to show you that it does work at least for these two I'm sure it works for T public
and all the other ones just make sure you use the right file so that is it for this video hopefully
