In this video i'm gonna talk about five t-shirt design tips that you should be doing
when you design t-shirts for easter. 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 I want to help you to learn how to design and sell
t-shirts online. I've made a holiday calendar on my website if you've been following that you know
it's about time to do easter designs. So I want to help you and teach you some of the design tips for
easter now these are just design tips they're not going to i'm not going to tell you you know what's
trending right now what you should actually put on your t-shirt what words and what designs but
i'm going to kind of help you along on what sells well and then you can kind of make that decision
so i'm going to show you five design tips and you're going to want to stay to the end
to see all of these and a special bonus tip for those that get all the way to the end
i'm going to tell you about what kind of colors and fonts that are popular with easter designs
so you're going to want to stay all the way till the end for that and i'm going to put all the five
tips together kind of in the sheet with the bonus tip so that you can take a snapshot and save it
for when you're doing your easter designs so without wasting any more of your time
let's get into design tip number one so the first big tip that i want to tell you about
is that there's two kind of sections in easter so the one most people are familiar with is the bunny
you know easter egg kind of easter basket chicks those kinds of things this side right here
most people are familiar with that but there's also the religious side and jesus and things so
you can see here so on easter it's a christian holiday that christians believe jesus resurrected
so you can see here i'll be back he's risen those kinds of things he died on the cross
that stuff so there's also this middle ground that kind of does both so you can see here
no bunny loves me like jesus so kind of in between silly rabbit easter is for jesus so you can see
this one kind of rides the line of both so both of them do really well during easter but i think more
people when they think easter they just think this side so don't forget about the religious side of
easter so let me show you how well they're doing let's take a look at amazon here so i just typed
in funny easter this is typically the bunny rabbit easter egg side and look at these bsrs already
easter is in the middle of april and right now it's around february
and the february so we still got a few months left but look at these low bsrs already some of
these are star wars but some of them are merged by amazon sub 1 million bsr as you can see here some
pretty low bsrs already people are buying these already so don't wait till easter you want to
design easter stuff right now right so you see you got the bunnies and things like that eggs right
easter eggs now some of them come here with the religious ones let me just type in
you can do your own research here i typed in jesus easter and we can see some of those other ones now
you know you'll see both of them on each side because of the tag easter but you can see this
one is more focused on the religious side of it jesus and things like that so um right there is
one of the examples we saw so that's tip number one tip number one is don't forget about the two
sides there's commercial uh easter and there's also religious easter make sure uh if you want
to do both so tip number two graphic tip number two is stay away from peeps now i know you've seen
a lot of these here on amazon and i'm going to show you later in the search results that there's
still a lot of people doing these and there's low bsrs on them but if you want to keep your account
safe stay away from peeps so you can see this one says peep in real i mean that's still using peeps
you can see the word peeps right here these are the official peeps you can see the peeps candy
with the peeps name that name right there that word right there is trademark so
don't use that at all not even like in a word like this doesn't say peeps but you're saying peep in
i would still stay away from that a lot of designs on amazon have been taken down from this
and you could probably lose your account on this so be very careful with this
um you can see not only do they do birds they do rabbits as well so you can see i would stay away
from the shape of peeps as well these look just like these peeps they come in different colors
just like on this t-shirt right here i'm showing yellow and blue but please please
stay away from peeps let's take a look at amazon so here on amazon i just typed in peeps easter
again showing you that when you do your research you may see oh man peeps here low bsr there's
another one low bsr i'm gonna do something about peeps no stay away just leave these for these guys
they may get taken down these maybe old designs as well that haven't gotten taken down so you you
don't want to take a chance here you can see the official peeps right here like i was saying they
have their own stuff so i mean they're already on amazon so amazon is aware of this i would
just say stay away stay very far away there's so many other things that you can do i know this
sounds like a nice pun and people are getting low bsrs but if you want to keep your account
safe on amazon and other pods i'm just showing amazon because you can see the bsrs but i would
stay away from this on any platform redbubble your own shopify store etsy whatever it is
peeps is a brand and you want to stay away from copying their stuff just do something different
so that's graphic design tip number two don't use any peeps or any version of the word peeps
in your design so tip number three is you may want to consider just doing graphics and here's why
there's a couple of reasons graphics translate to any language right you don't need to do words you
don't have to translate the words and they just do really well for a holiday like easter where
things are just very graphic heavy so you have the bunny you have the eggs you have things like
that so this is a good idea for people who can draw and people who can't draw just go look for
a nice graphic and kind of mash things together you can see here all of these our ideas are just
graphics and i'm gonna show you on merch by amazon by looking at the bsrs how well these are doing
without any words so this is one of those holidays where you can get the message across just with the
picture so i would play to that strength and then you can put it on all the different marketplaces
without having to translate the uh text on the t-shirt so let me go into amazon and i'll show
you how well these are doing all right so here in amazon i just typed in easter t-shirt you
can do this research for yourself but look at this even star wars is doing just graphics on
their t-shirts but let's look at non-star wars stuff because star wars is always going to do
well look at this one just a graphic 103 bsr this is amazing just a graphic uh just a graphic here
again winnie the pooh snoopy you can see those are just graphics they do really well
there's just a graphic uh let's see just a graph like all of these are just graphics right so
think about that when you're doing look at this just graphics not a disney one sub 100 psrs guys
come on this is this is good stuff um let's scroll down here just a graphic look at that
selling now this is we're far away from easter and they're getting this kind of bsrs right now
just graphics you don't have to worry about if you're unsure of what kind of words to put on
a t-shirt don't put any just put a graphic you can see here gnomes and things like that so um
these can do really well so that's my graphic tip number three for this video is just do a graphic
an easter graphic it has to be something that's relevant but a graphic will do just as well if
not better than some of the other things we saw page one a lot of them just didn't have any words
so tip number four you may be wondering well what kind of graphics am i going to use if i'm
just going to do graphics well here's tip number four to help you out use other animals instead
of a rabbit so check these out there's lots more examples than these but these are just you know
a few of them that i found 10 of them that i found put a horse in bunny ears do a stegosaurus
with eggs or whatever you can see a dinosaur a sasquatch a flamingo dogs pugs cats llamas sloths
anything so just find a cool animal that may be one that you already have and you can slap on
some bunny ears and put some eggs next to it and you can make it an easter shirt really quickly so
do some research find out what animals are trending uh in the pod site that you're doing
maybe um cats and dogs are always really popular but i didn't put in here unicorn unicorn would be
a big one um sharks like think think outside of the box whatever things that you don't see here
that will give you an opportunity to put that animal there's so many different animals right
a killer whale with some ears or something like that that would be great so a red panda i know
doing really well tiger we didn't see in here a tiger with some bunny ears with eggs or something
like that so so many different animals be creative if you have one already i would just slap on some
bunny ears you can see or in a bunny costume this is really funny with the with the dinosaur here
so have fun with this one this is your tip number four is use another animal besides a bunny rabbit
so tip number five is easter puns so if you are gonna put words on a t-shirt but you're unsure
what words to use easter puns do really well so i'm not going to show you the bsrs on them because
we've seen a lot of those you can go back and see some of these with the low bsrs but what puns are
is basically using a word that sounds like the original word so for here prepare to die instead
of the d-i-e this is d-y-e because you're dying the eggs right happy east roar instead of easter
right because rar for a dinosaur so you get the idea chick magnet that really isn't like a pun but
that was really funny phrase this is upon every bunny's favorite teacher instead of everybody's
right some bunny again bunny is a real good pun to use for buddy everybody somebody that kind
of thing um i'm just so extra a lot of words you can do with eggs so you can see egg asaurus egg
celente egg caveater leg day exercise right i'm just so extra so think of the different
words that you can use egg's a good one bunny's a great one roar is specific to kind of dinosaurs
and things like that but dye of course is here for dyeing the eggs i'm sure there's so many
other puns that you can do for easter funny easter t-shirts do really well and puns is a good way to
do those kinds of t-shirts so tip number five design tip number five is to use easter puns
so for your bonus tip these are the colors that i think they will do really well our pastel colors
you can see here is kind of an easter palette i saw this on online someone did this for procreate
i think the name is karen nicole design so thank you for that i just took it but you can see
these are the kinds of colors pinks and yellows and light blues but you can also go darker if
you're going on a lighter t-shirt right so you can see here i took these from amazon you know
cmyk is a good way to remember that cyan or light blue kind of uh yellow and magenta so
light blue yellow and pink those do really well for easter and you can see here handwritten fonts
or like i call i would like to call them fun fonts you can see hand-drawn fonts and things like that
so think of these kinds of things for easter the script fonts do really well just make sure it's
easy to read you can see here another script font and kind of more handwritten font so just a little
more fun for fun easter but also the script fonts do well for the religious side of easter too so
think of that just make sure that it's easy to read right so this is your bonus tip right here
make sure to use the right colors make sure to use the right kinds of fonts and of course uh
the graphics we saw what kinds of graphics so let me show you all of the tips here are all of them
together the five design tips for easter for this video that should help you get some sales so first
remember there's two sides there's that commercial side and the religious easter side uh second stay
away from peeps i don't want you to get your account taken away don't do any peep stuff
third remember graphics alone can work so if you want to combine graphics kind of do a mash up we
talked about using other animals instead of a rabbit those are some good graphics that's your
tip number four is to use another animal esteba instead of a rabbit and that can be your graphic
with eggs and things like that and lastly if you are going to put words try easter puns
those do really well do some research or make some puns up for yourself just using some of those
words a lot of things you can do with the word egg and bunny those are two big ones that you can do
puns with and lastly your bonus niche is to use the right colors and fonts to kind of tie it all
in together so hopefully these were really helpful for you and i hope that this will help
