How to Make and Print a T-shirt in Canva

Do you know that you can make and print t-shirts in Canva?

Yup, that really handy digital graphic design program lets you upload your own cute designs, show you what they look like on a model and print them onto a t-shirt, and ship it.

It’s simple to do and if you’re like me, you love quick simple craft projects!

Ideas to make new SVG designs

This project came about from a viewer request.

A few weeks ago, during a live drawing tutorial, I asked if you guys have any requests or suggestions for new drawings or topics.

I got a request to do a project tutorial for Mother’s Day.

So since it’s right around the corner, let me show you how to make a thoughtful present for Mother’s Day.

We’re using Canva and the svg designs from the Spring in Bloom drawing challenge to make a quick cute tee.

There are four lessons in the drawing challenge.

You can find a preview of each lesson in the playlist below.

DIY Gifts and a Bonus

This is great if you’re looking for last-minute DIY gift ideas.

Besides making t-shirts, you can also print your design onto mugs, tote bags, and other items.

It’s a one-stop-shop solution.

As a bonus, you can save 20% on selected print orders with the code 4EVERYMOM at checkout until the end of the month.

Some of the prime features like saving files in SVG format and scheduling to social media (you can pin to Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram) are only available in the pro version of Canva.

You can try this Canva Pro alternative for free using my link.

I used the free version for a while but once I tried the pro version, and all the goodies like the background remover and ability to save my designs as SVG files, there was no going back!

It’s worth it to me.
