In this video i'm going to show you how you can use free t-shirt designs like
these from creative fabrica to create your own t-shirt designs for print-on-demand. 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. If that's something you want to learn how to do,
if you're thinking about making passive income by doing print on demand and selling t-shirts online
and making money while you sleep. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button. So you can see all my
videos. So in this video I wanted to talk about free t-shirt designs. So this video came about
when I looked through my email and I saw this email from creative fabrica. And this email talked
about free t-shirt designs. 25 t-shirt designs from creative fabrica and these are the free
t-shirt designs right here. We'll go over it in a little bit but these are all free for commercial
use. You may have gotten this email as well and I bet a lot of people have gotten this email too
so I wanted to show you what to do with free t-shirt designs. Now these are free for commercial
use so you could take them as is and just put them on print on demand and sell them there but
i would advise not to do that because everybody else can do the same thing what i'm gonna show
you in this video is how to take different parts of these designs and make a totally new design
that would be for print on demand and because you're taking different parts and putting it
together it's going to be a unique design this is more of a technique on how to take something
and different things from different parts of the design so if there's a different design out there
you can use the same ideas and same tactics so i'm just going to show you how to do it with this
bundle but this will work with different bundles so you're going to want to stay to the end so you
can see the design the full design as well as another edition of trend credits i'm going to
show you a trend on amazon right now that you can design for so lots to see in this video i'm going
to start with creative fabrica and show you more in more detail that designs all 25 designs and
then i'm going to go into affinity designer and then show you how i do it so lots to see in this
video let's get started right now so here i am on the creative fabrica site with the free magical
svg quotes bundle you can see right here it's free there's 28 days left so if you want to come
here i'll put a link in the description for this one um but if you're watching this later than 28
days from when i recorded this then it may not be free anymore but don't worry they're going to be a
lot of free stuff on there for creative fabrica so let me show you right here um first of all
you can see commercial license right here so it's it's all good and they come in svg files
png files eps files which is the one i'm going to be using and all these other ones
so let's take a look at all of these designs um take a look at this princess unicorn mom
over here take a look at these i mean they're okay designs but and you could put these on t-shirts
right away and they're made for you know white t-shirts so of course if you want to put them on
black you're going to have to reverse them but and and you could go in here and color them so they
would be different colors but what i would suggest is to take different parts and different things
and add to them like for instance this one right here reindeer with ornaments great graphic right
but you're going to want to put some text with it or something else to make it unique
same thing with any of these right so you don't want to you don't want to take them i
know it's really easy to just take this and slap it on a t-shirt but we're not going to
do that we're going to take parts of this i'm going to use this one here i believe i'm going
to use this one part of this one right here and part of let's see this one right here
okay so we're gonna use those three i'm gonna bring those into affinity designer and we'll
start there so here i am on affinity designer you can see i took those three different ones
now there's 24 different designs but i'm to only use these three in this example this will work
for any of the designs the designs actually don't matter what i want to show you is the technique
is that i'm going to take things from each of these and kind of put them together kind of mash
them together right so one thing you may want to do is for some reason they're all different colors
so you can see here this one has a different color than this one which is all black so
let's just um make them all 100 hundred hundred just i mean you don't have to but it just makes
it a lot easier and you can see these are actually eps files so let me zoom in here you can see there
they're actually artwork so they're not text you can't edit the text um they're actually objects
right so just select all of them and make them all the same color i like to use 100 100 100 just
so we're the same so let me zoom out here select them all here 100 100 hundred all right great so
after looking at these i'm gonna i'm gonna use this princess so i'm gonna copy this command c
and i'm going to put it on a new artboard here command v to paste it right and i'm going to
not just use princess remember i want to kind of fill the space right a tall
rectangle where kind of like this is a tall rectangle this one isn't and this one
definitely isn't so i'm going to move i'm going to select princess like this but not this part
and i'm going to pull this down here now i'm going to group that just so it's
one thing so command g group i'm also going to group this one right here so
command g group all right so that's kind of the space i want i'm gonna i'm thinking about doing
the phrase mom of the birthday princess right so let's look if we have some words here you
can see of the right here so i'm going to use this copy command c and go back here command v
right um mom there's no mom here but um there is this right here i'm gonna use this
just for a little extra oomph i'm gonna copy and paste it here
yeah kind of like that so then i'm just going to type in mom you can use any font you want but this
is going to make it so it's different so it's going to be so different that you're using your
own font so i'm going to do mom all caps i know you guys are going to be wondering what font this
is because i'm just picking one this one is called watermelon so you can get watermelon
from creative market i'll put a link down here this is what it looks like on creative market i'll
put a link in the description now you don't have to use this font you can use whatever font i'm
using this one because it's kind of rounded you can see right here this has some rounded edges so
this font also has rounded edges so i'm going to just put mom right here in the middle
of the birthday princess let's move this up here i'm just using
option shift click the mouse and drag so that makes a copy and then i'm going to do birthday
right there oops that's kinda long just bring that in
birthday right there really easy and i think i can make of the bigger let's just
hold down shift and make it bigger and now we're gonna have to move these out
let's just select those i'm gonna group those so they're easy command
g for grouping and then like that and select these and group these
boom so now i have a totally new design by using some of the objects here
now the reason i picked this one is there's a king crown here so of course instead of doing mom of
the birthday princess i'm going to copy this oh i'm doing option shift click and drag you can do
it for artboards as well as text so i just copied the whole artboard here i take out mom and put dad
here and center that take out this crown i'm going to ungroup you can see ungroup right here
and i just want to take out the crown here right and then put in this crown
because that's more like a queen princess crown i'm going to put
this kind of i'm going to copy in fact i'm going to copy all of these right there copy and paste
here pull it up now i can make this bigger holding down shift just kind of fit that space
yeah there we go and then we can remove some of these things maybe this one
there look at that dad of the birthday princess real easy right and you can scale this right
mom of the birthday princess a mommy of the birthday princess sister of the birthday princess
brother of the birthday princess whatever this can be a whole family thing and grandma
you can make hundreds of designs with these well maybe 10 designs but this is on white right here
so i'm gonna what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna make it on black right so we already have this one
and you can add some color but let me zoom out just a little bit so zooming out command
minus i'm gonna copy this artboard bring it down remember click on the artboard hit option shift
click on your mouse and drag it down okay and so i want a background on here i'm gonna zoom in
i'm gonna zoom in here and show you what it looks like with a black background right so
let's take this this is our rectangle tool and just click on here from edge to edge and that's
black put that in the back and let's take down the black a little bit so you can see through it
and then i'm going to use my select to remove tool the black arrow and just select all of this
and then make sure this is white now and look at that that's on a black t-shirt now if you want
to add a little more interest maybe add some color just go here i'm going to click on maybe the crown
i'm going to ungroup this so i can pick the crown the crown maybe princess and these
two things right here let's make those pink right maybe just with a little yellow here
something like that look at that mom of the birthday princess so this now this design is
totally unique to you because you used your own fonts you moved it in a way it doesn't
just say princess anymore it says other things and it's a design that you can scale
so that's what you can do that's what i would do personally is to go back in here
look at how you can use these different things and make a unique design that you can use on your own
and then that way no one will be copying you and if somebody does have the same design that you
have here then you know that they copied you and not just the free stuff that's on here because
you used you made this your own right so hopefully this was really helpful for you you can see right
here i can make this like i said mom mommy dad daddy aunt uncle grandma grandpa this can turn
this these free designs these 25 free designs can turn into literally hundreds of designs right
so hopefully this was really helpful for you let me know if you've ever used a free t-shirt designs
in the comments i'd like to know that and if this was really helpful for you you can see in a matter
of minutes i don't think we took more than 20 minutes to to make these so have fun with this
learn to take different parts of different things out there and make it your own
so thanks so much for staying for this video hopefully this was really helpful for you
and your reward for staying all the way to the end of this video is another edition of trend credits
Thanks for joining me for this trend credit. Here is your trend, "lacrosse USA american flag"
t-shirt. So take a look at these BSRs. Kind of low BSRs. I think everything usa right now is going to
be low. As we just came off of you know, fourth of july and things like that. And we're having
the olympics right now. So I think american t-shirts are really popular right now. So take
a look at these. Like lacrosse isn't even in the olympics right now but you can see there's still
uh low BSRs right. So lots of lots of american flags. Some things so remember to do. Some of
those things. Just look at this on Merch Informer. "Lacrosse USA american flag". It's getting an A
so you know it's good. I have a link in the description for Merch Informer. If you don't
have it, this is where you can you know check for competition and graphics and all of that. So
let's take a look at this trend one more time scrolling up here lots of different ways to do
this make sure to do your own version or your own way of doing it don't copy these things right here
there's lots of ways you can put lacrosse and american and flag and usa like all those things
together so think of something that someone would actually want to wear if they're a lacrosse player
or someone who loves lacrosse so think about that too when you're designing for this trend
for this video lacrosse usa american flag so that is it for this video thanks so much for

that i asked before do you use free graphics for your designs let me know in the comments i
usually don't use free graphics i'm doing this just to show you what i would do but i usually
draw my own stuff so i know in videos i've shown you graphics from merchant former and graphics
from now creative fabrica and things like that but i really like enjoy drawing my own stuff just to
make sure that it is even more unique than what i just showed you so let me know in the comments
