In this video I wanted to share with you how easy it is to create patterns like this one right here,
in Canva, for free. I'm going to share with you step by step on how to do it
and what it looks like when you upload it to Amazon as well as Redbubble. Let's go!!
Hey everyone it's Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video I wanted to share with you how easy it is to
create patterns in canva for free. You can have a free account and do this. The reason for that
is you don't need to remove the background for patterns on canva you actually want the background
there when you upload it to print on demand so this works perfectly for canva or canva Pro I
created this design right here on canva and I've been getting a lot of good sales on Amazon so I
wanted to share with you how you can create your own patterns like these in canva for free I also
wanted to show you this on Amazon if you go to Amazon on pretty merch Pro Plus you can do the
research and take a look at these patterns for phone cases all of these can be made on canva
as well so Hand patterns are also very popular on Redbubble if we look at Redbubble phone cases
for flower patterns for example look at all these flower patterns there are top sellers on Redbubble
so let's get into canva right now and go step by step on how I would create patterns using
canva all right so here we are on canvacanva.com I'm going to show you step by step on how to do
it it's very easy to do we're going to create a design right here and we're going to go to custom
size and this time instead of 4500 by 5400 we're going to do 4 500 by 4500 a square and you'll see
why in the moment so I'm going to click that and there we have we have our square and we're just
going to go to elements and you can see I've tried this before I'm just going to type in flower like
that and you can pick Graphics you could do photos too it would work just the same way as long as the
background is transparent but we're going to do Graphics just to keep it easy and you can see some
of these are pro some of these are not for this video I'm going to do a free one just to show you
you can do it for free so here's a free one right here I'm going to click on here and then you can
see magic recommendations I'm going to hit see all and I could pick any one of these and I could put
them all together so I'm going to do I'm going to do that I'm going to do two of them actually so
let's do this one this one this one just randomly doesn't matter right um and maybe these two leaves
here that'd be fun okay the next thing we want to do is pick a background color so let's just
go here and instead of it could be white but you can see some of these flowers are really light
so it doesn't work on white I'm gonna look like a red so we can see these flowers work really well
okay so the for the first one for the easier one I think and it's not that much easier but I'm just
going to randomly put things here so I can size them down and turn them you know put this here
and if we're just doing a free form pattern so if you want the flowers bigger or smaller and
turn them you can do that okay so I'm going to quickly do that and I'll show you what happens
all right so now that I got all the flowers in one spot although I'm using all the flowers here
I'm going to start repeating the flowers you can see I'm breaking the edges here and kind of
um spacing them out so if this one's up like this I want to put this one here and down like that so
I don't want to just make a row I want to kind of stagger them and that kind of gives it more
interest right instead of just doing row row row of flowers so I'm gonna now um just use the same
flowers and put them all over so I'm going to take this flower for example hold option and bring it
here I can also turn this and make it a different size if I want to but you can see now it's kind of
repeating but it doesn't have to repeat like I can put this one here and put it right here and that's
just fine so all we're doing is filling the space with the different flowers now I can take this
leaf and put it here and it doesn't have to be like in the same spot I'm going to turn it and go
like that just to give it some variety I can take this Leaf put it here turn it right like wherever
it fits whatever you think it goes and you may need to adjust like maybe this works better when
it's butted up against here like this and maybe this needs to come down so we're just playing
around with space and and moving things around so this one's kind of hard but it's fun just think of
it as like creating a puzzle and there's no wrong answers you can do that so I'm going to show you
kind of fast forward through this part and show you what happens when we get to the end of it
all right so there you go just a nice simple pattern right here you can see it didn't take
me very long but I just put things randomly so this is just a random pattern and these would be
good for Amazon so these don't tile at all but I can use this on phone cases I can use this on tote
bags I can use this on pillows and I'll show you what it looks like so the next one I'm going to
add a page here and the next one I'm gonna do is I'm just going to take one of these this one right
here I'm going to copy it actually it's better if I just use this one so let's go down here and use
this one right so it's already straight I don't have to straighten it we're going to do a tile
pattern and this one's going to be for Redbubble so I'm going to change the background just so it's
different I'll do black here and I can change the color on these two so if I want the petals
to be a different color let's say white and this is red I can do that right so I'm going to do a
tile pattern by moving it over the edge but only halfway and you're going to feel it when it's
halfway you're gonna like feel it stick a little so there you go see how that's stuck I'm gonna
hold down option and shift and I'm going to copy it and bring it all the way over here and wait
till it sticks halfway again so if you if you kind of move it like this you'll feel it stick there
halfway right there okay so that's halfway and this is halfway and that's really important
because it needs to be halfway for it to tile so just to make sure you can hold down
shift and kind of wait till it sticks there halfway and and they also need to be right
across each other okay and the next thing you can do is then now hold down option
and drag both of these and you can put them down here somewhere okay so it doesn't matter
if it's halfway now because you've you've made it halfway there so I'm gonna just put it right here
just to be random now the next thing you can do is because it's a square click on these two
um drag it to make it a copy but then you can rotate it
but make sure it's 90. and you can put it like right here and then hold down option again and
copy it and put another one right here it doesn't have to be halfway now as long as
you did the first one right everything else should work okay and then we're just going to copy these
all over the place okay so I'm going to hold down option and put one right there put them
right there and I'm going to speed through this so you can see all I'm doing is randomly placing
it everywhere but you don't want to break the edges on these other ones that you come here so
don't break the edge here the only ones that are breaking the edges are the ones that we just put
in here so you can come close to the edge but don't go over the edge okay so let's do that
all right that I think this should work um what we're trying to do is not leave big black spaces
everywhere so we kind of filled in the space the spacing is around the same we don't want
them to touch but we also don't want giant holes in them so I think this will work we're gonna see
on Redbubble so I'm going to save both of these uh this one right here for Amazon where we're not
tiling it and this still could work for Amazon the tiling one but this one's more special because we
want tiling in Redbubble where you can't tile in Amazon on Amazon merchand demand you can tile on
Redbubble which is really cool so download both of these I'm going to hit share I'm going to hit
download I'm going to hit PNG which is fine we don't need the transparent background we have the
colored background that we need and we're going to hit download and download these the next thing
I'm going to do is go to Amazon merch on demand I'll show you what it looks like with this red
one and then we're going to go to Redbubble and I'll show you what it looks like with the black
one all right here we go I um dropped the PNG right here and you can see it doesn't great on
t-shirts but popsockets phone cases tote bags and throw pillows it's all going to work so let's go
here we'll move this to the top corner you see how I want to butt it up against there and there
that's how it scales it scales down this way so when I open it up like this you can see Perfect
pop socket right again come up here to the corner top left corner scale it down until you reach the
bottom right there so this one has to be at least 72 percent and you can see I can move it any one
of these ways I think that looks great now you can't scale it like if the flowers are too big in
this case you're going to have to shrink it down in canva and then make a more patterns and add an
ADD but you can see it it looked just like what we did right so this is where you kind of have to
figure out where the flower is too small are they too big in this case I think that's fine and here
you can fill in that and 4500 by 4500 will make sure that it fits on everything he got ample room
to move things around if you want the pattern and there you go very simple it looks very tropical
you can do it with any flowers you can do it with other things too right like we saw on the Amazon
the top sellers it can be a Cowboy theme that can be skeleton it can be a cactus or whatever
right I just use flowers in this example but the ideas and the graphics that you have on
canva are endless so a great great idea here so next one Redbubble we're going to come in
here I'm going to go and add new work let's just drag that one that black one that we did
in here I'm not going to show you what to put in the title and the tags and descriptions you
can figure that out I just want to show you a design for right now so right now it looks great
on some of these things right uh phone cases look great but let's say we want to make the
flower smaller now if we did it right it should all connect let's see if we did uh let's go to
choose pattern regular grid and look at that not bad right so it does you can move this around
and you may come in here and think well there is a there's a little black more black here and
there so maybe you go back in and change it but I think the randomness of it it looks pretty cool
right it works great on the pillow at 4500 by 4500 if you want it that size again if you want
it on bigger things if you see it like this this is when you have to come in here do regular grid
and there it fills it so you can fill so many different products on here just by doing that that
little trick by moving it around right so there you go it fits on anything that needs a pattern
aprons I think will be really cool let's do this one I'll do one more same thing come in here
um Regular grid right and then you can size it down if you want
look at that really cool right so we all did this in a matter of minutes and again endless
amount of content here on um canva even if you have for free even if you have camera free and
not canva for with canva Pro you have even more but canva free you got a ton of stuff and this
this is great this is easy and looks nice and you can again do it with other flowers other
um designs and go have fun with that just remember when you do it I'll do the first
one a half and half and then you can try it out you don't have to do two here and two there and
two there you can play around or you could just do one and one and just make sure the
other ones don't cross the border if you want to cross the border then you have to do that
um half and half thing right if it crosses one side it has to cross the other so real easy to
do on canva and the more you do it the easier it'll get so there you go that's how easy it is
to do patterns on canva with canva free or Camera Pro doesn't matter um play around with it there's
tons of graph effects like I said so have fun with this flowers I think are the best sellers
I've seen at least personally for me but you've seen some of the other best sellers on there
they weren't all flowers so play around see which one works for you find some good graphics and I
think you can do really well especially on Amazon but on Red Bull as well because there's so many
different products so thanks again for watching if you want to see more canva tutorials I have
a whole canva playlist right here so I I'll put that right there you can learn everything about
canva for canva pro as well as canva free and make a lot of designs especially for Q4 so again thanks
for watching and as always guys keep creating and keep learning I'll see you on the next one
