In this video I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna do another t-shirt design in canva for free.
And this time I'm gonna go after the funny christmas chicken t-shirt niche that I talked
about in this video right here. I'm gonna do it all in canva and all for free. 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 my channel is all about helping you to learn how to design
and sell t-shirts online. If that's something you want to learn how to do don't forget to hit
that subscribe button. So a little while ago I did a tutorial on canva, this video right here
and I showed you how to use canva. This is a free tool a free application online, absolutely
free. It's where you can design t-shirts and you know come up with some your own designs.
And a lot of comments in those videos said that they wanted more canva tutorials. So, I'm gonna do
it again. I'm gonna do another tutorial, t-shirt tutorial. I'm planning on doing uh some things
a little different in this one so that you can learn some of the other things in Canva. This is
only my second time using Canva so I'm not a pro in canva. But I have designed t-shirts before so
hopefully that helps me a little bit to know how to put things together. So it's all going to be
in Canva. It's going to be using the free version and like I said in the beginning. I'm going to go
after the funny christmas chicken t-shirt niche. A sub niche of christmas and hopefully it turns out
great. What I'm wanting to do is put this design on amazon and see if it sells. Can I make a sale
from something that I made on canva for free. If so, then I really got a great return on investment
because free application and making money from a free design right. So let's go right now on
the internet and go on to canva and let's see what i can come up with for this niche.
All right so here we are on canva you just go to canva.com if you haven't seen my first
video i'll put a link up here to it you might want to watch that first because in that video
i show you how to kind of set up everything but you may be able to follow along here so
first thing first create design i want to use custom design i mentioned that in the last video
and then you can type in the width and height here but i've already had a recent one so this
is 4500 by 5400 that's the merch by amazon size i'm going to click that
and here we have a brand new board so first thing i'm going to do is look for chickens
under elements so we got templates where you can do t-shirt templates and other
templates and elements which have graphics and things like that so i'm going to type in chicken
and make sure it's graphics
and i'm going to scroll down we want to look for free so you see some of these say free
oh i like this one right here free and there it is and i wanna have a dark colored background
so i'm gonna click on here and just choose like a a red or something maybe a little darker red
like that okay and then these chickens can be white so i'm gonna just click on this color
and choose white there you go and you can flip this so right here says flip and i'm gonna flip
it horizontal there you go and i want this about that size i want it kind of almost to the edge but
not quite so and then you can center you see the line right there it kind of helps you center it so
there's that so i want to make it a christmas thing so let's do this let's do santa hat
and i'm gonna pick one of these one of the free ones again
let's see this one free and i'm gonna flip it i'm gonna put it on this bird right here flip it
and make sure it's the right size and you can see it has the colors
right here and so for the red um let's see is this the right one i'm gonna do white instead
or like pure white and this red i think will do that or maybe maybe for that one i can do the
color of the background yeah this one too color of the background very nice so it looks like he's
wearing a hat all right so the next thing i'm going to do is uh text so i'm going to text here
i like this text right here that says wild so i'm going to click on here and
i'm gonna delete this one and delete this one and i'm gonna use this one for mary let's see
mary i like that script font and i'm gonna make that white so here um click on the text color
and white and you can make this a big size so i'm just gonna grab the corners here and
make it bigger yeah that's looking cool maybe even bigger
merry okay and let's see and put it in the back so it you can position it right here position and
backward backward all the way in the back and the reason i put it in the back is so i can grab the
other things in the front because it was taking a lot of space so i'm going to move these down
yeah so i got some room right here um
let's see i'm going to see if there's another text that i like here that one's kind of cool
i need i need something tall and
you know thick and tall so this one's kind of cool that's kind of neat let's try this one
coffee please let's see if that's tall enough i'm gonna do a funny
i'll play on christmas so instead of merry christmas i'm gonna do merry clock miss
cluck mess just using some puns i think it makes it you know funny and again you can grab
the corners here oh i didn't realize that that had kind of a drop shadow there maybe i don't
use this um we can pick a different text here let's see is that one cool no why does it have a
you know what no i'm just gonna i don't like that drop shadow
i'm gonna get rid of this i'm just gonna go in here and type text so you can just type in text
here by going to the top add a heading and then i'm gonna click mess maybe all caps
that's not a bad um bad fawn right there either it's kind of tall
nope let me see if i can find another one i'm gonna go here and gothic that's too
not exactly what i want oh that's a good one okay nice and thick um kind of the right weight
i like that so i'm going to make this grab this and make it about the same width as the two here
so not quite to the edge
and i'm going to make this white so text and white okay so what we want to do is layer so you can see
here i got space here space here and there's some other things i could do in here to make it look
more christmasy right so let's see what we got um i'm gonna check i'm gonna add a page here and
i'll show you why so here's another page and i'm gonna go to templates and do uh christmas t-shirts
and here's some cool christmas t-shirt ideas um oh this one was cool don't click on that
there i'm gonna use these right here that looks cool i'm going to add another page just so i have
something else let's look what else we have here oh this one has a lot of icons so i can use those
icons to fill in the space so i'm going to do that here and i want a good uh let's do another
one so what i'm doing is i'm not using the exact t-shirt templates you never want to use the whole
template you want to change it a lot and so i'm going to take items from the different templates
and use it in my design so let's go here great okay so i can use some of these um
designs here these snowflakes you know i'm just gonna hit copy and paste them up here
copy command c just like affinity designer and then command v up here and you can see right
there and i'm just gonna turn them white right there and i can make it bigger or smaller right
so just put it anywhere we'll come back to that one i want these here so i'm going to copy these
one two and that one's different too so command c and come up here click on this page and command v
and you can see they're all here and they're in the front they paste automatically to the front
so i'm going to turn these you can see this turning here this rotate you can turn it and
it will tell you if it's straight by saying zero right there okay uh and then this one i'm going
to turn it to wake to say zero right there that could work and this one you know turns say zero
zero that's cool maybe that there maybe one more of these here if you hold down option and drag
it will copy it just like affinity designer so a lot of these things that you can do in
canva you can do an affinity designer so this is a actually a really good uh way to learn some of the
tips and tricks so i'm gonna go here select all of these whoops i don't think i can color
them all at the same time so i'm gonna make these white i'm doing this whole thing mostly in white
and then i can grab it and you can see these are coming down like that
and you can press your up and down arrow you can see and with holding down shift you can
make it move a little further so that looks that looks pretty cool let's do these white again
and this one white so you can see right here these are the two colors
of the object and i'm just changing those two colors to white and you can make them bigger
or smaller this one too this one has three colors let's just make all of them white
cool right so that kind of looks like christmas already with the hanging ornaments
yeah i might get that okay um let's see what else we got down here we use those
that's fine i want to use this holly thing this is group so i'm going to have to ungroup them
you can see now they're all separate so let's do this holley wreath command c
right and then come up here click on page one command v and it pasted it right there
i'm going to put the holley wreath here and we can turn it and we can make them all white again
all right
so you can see how i'm layering the different things just to fill in the space and to give it
more of a christmas feel right so let's see i could do this again
option drag see that's copying it and then i'm gonna flip it
flip it this way and oops that's not what i want i want to turn it there it is that was for comments
okay you can see that right where's my turn there it is um like that maybe maybe even smaller
yeah that works cool okay so i want to add some more snowflakes uh let's see
not that one this guy has snowflakes i could have used this holly uh branch too so
let's see i already have those let me see if i can find another
snowflake so i'm going to go here into elements and type in snowflake
i just wanted some variety here so make sure again not the pro we want to use the free version uh
yeah that's cool this one's kind of cool it's a little different than
that one but it kind of matches the style but that's pro again let's see
all right let's just do this free free click on here and
you know if you use free you can't really be picky on what you get you have to get get what you get
okay and then again i'm holding down option and dragging option and dragging like that
hey not bad kind of filled that space in let's do one more let's do this free one
cool and then we can turn it remember so it can turn like that
and make it white
cool that kind of filled in the space
and then i'm just playing stuff around here all right so we got mary cluck mess you got the two
chickens you got snowflakes ornaments you can add whatever you want i'm just
picking out different things you could have put you know snow other snow kind of flakes here
um presents maybe it's stepping on a present or something like that
anything like that so this is kind of more of a vintage look vintage feel it has just one color
you could add more colors if you want like if you did this here and you wanted you know this
one to be another color you can see like that but the reason why i do white is because you can
use it on multiple background colors okay all right so i think this is great i'm gonna get
rid of these other ones so i can go in here and delete these pages now i don't need them
and there we go so this is ready to go i'm gonna export this or download this
and just hit download so now that it's downloaded i'm gonna knock out the background like i did in
my last video shouldn't take too long and then i'm gonna upload it to merch by amazon and you're
gonna see what it looks like so here we are on merch by amazon you can see i uploaded this design
right here i'm gonna hit edit details so you can see a closer look i'm gonna zoom in right here and
you can see i've only put it on cranberry and red and the reason i did that is so that i know it's
gonna be on those two colors it's either gonna be on red or cranberry i don't want it to be on
black or any of these things because because it's christmas and i want it to stand out i want it
white on red or white on cranberry and i think it will stand out really well there i don't want it
on different colors i don't think people are gonna buy it that much on these other colors so
that's how i'm gonna limit my colors and that way it's gonna show uh as a red or cranberry
on the amazon page right you can see i did it for all of these here red and cranberry this one only
has red the v-neck this one only has red the tank top i also put it on long-sleeve and sweatshirts
unfortunately they don't have red so i just left it on black and all the other colors here so
that's how i did it not the gray because it kind of washes out but these other colors are good most
likely people aren't going to buy those but i just wanted to give myself a good chance of selling it
and i put it on all the marketplaces here you can see right there so again trying to give
myself a good chance of selling and if you saw the details i'm doing it at 13.99 i would probably go
lower on these two but i'm just doing it really quickly here so 19.99 i probably could do this 15
give myself a good chance uh what is this let's try 15 here yeah that's good i'll do 15 here
yep and 18 here and oh 25 25 there all right so now that we got the prices right i typed in these
already you can see for my title i'm gonna do mary kluckman since that's what's on the t-shirt and
then funny christmas chicken remember that was in the video and then i got a couple of other
ones here vintage because it looks like a vintage design and pajama because it also could be used
as a pajama top so i'm going to try and get those as well and then i wrote sentences with keywords
in here i'm not going to read them all but you can see mary cluckmas here chickens snowflakes
are in their ornaments christmas puns and so on so i'm going to do that and i'm going to hit publish
and hopefully get some sales before christmas i'm crossing my fingers if i do i'll make another
video about it so i just wanted to share one more thing before i close this video and that is take
a look how much this stands out now because i made it red and because i made it white on red all the
other chicken t-shirts right here are black right so now everyone's eye hopefully is going to this
t-shirt right here it's got a lower price and it just stands out with that vintage look right
and and it has a different saying than everything else none of these say mary cluck miss none of
these have the kind of two chickens so that's what you want to do when you create your design
is to look at the competition look what they're doing and then kind of do something different to
make it stand out i'm not putting it on black i'm not doing um this kind of design with the colored
chicken i have a white chicken and it doesn't have christmas lights all over it that kind of thing so
very vintage so hopefully all those things are in my favor and we'll see if this sells for q4 so
that is it for this video hopefully this video is really helpful for you if it was make sure to
