 Are you looking to customize and create your own hoodie the way that you want instead of buying one and Spending tons of money on it. I'm gonna show you exactly how to make your own now. Let's get started All right, so I'm starting in design space I'm gonna go to upload and I'm gonna go to view all These are the images that I'm going to be using my favorite band is seven dust So I found these on Google. They were a free image. You want to make sure if you're gonna search for an image It needs to be a free image. So this definitely was I'm gonna add to canvas add this one to canvas and Design space did a little update. So this is a little different for me So I need to go back to canvas up here and I could be doing this wrong, but they just upgraded this I guess or updated it. So I'm not really sure The new buttons they have on here. So I'm gonna just click upload on here and hopefully it went on to here Which it did so if you are Used to this a new update, let me know I never seen these two buttons up here before home and canvas it always shows just add to canvas And then you would just be able to click on it. So these are the two that I'm going to be using I want to do Just a vinyl on here So this one is set to print then cuts because I've used it before but I want to change it to Basic cut so I have it selected. I'm gonna go up to the operation and then I'm just gonna go to basic So that's gonna change it to a vinyl settings if you wanted to do print then cut and then sub on to it You can most definitely do that. You just do the opposite of what I did you go to Select your image go to the operation and then print then cut But again, I want to cut this out in vinyl. So I'm gonna go back up and change it to basic The other thing I want to do here is just make this a little larger And I want to make sure everything is touching together So it looks like I don't have to do anything on here normally I probably already did this with images. You just want to make sure that you are Welding these together, which it already is otherwise it would tell me right here that I needed to weld it if you don't Design space actually your cricket machine will cut out each one of these little pieces There will be a little line in each one of these a little cut line and you don't want that So you just want to make sure that you weld your image So what I'm gonna be doing on my sweater is this is going to be the top part like right under the The neckline and then I saw a t-shirt it was like oh my gosh 75 dollars and you know we're cricketers Why do we have to pay 75 dollars for something we can do? So this is going to be the top right under the neckline and then I saw this where it is right above So I have a hoodie so mine has pockets in it. It goes right above where the pockets go It just looks so cool I'm actually gonna see if I can find a an image to show you what I'm talking about give me one second All right, so I had it saved on my computer here. I'm just gonna open this up and show you what this looks like So this was my idea Little different than I thought so I'm glad I look so they actually put the wording on the Where you put your hands and then makes this part really big So I'm actually gonna make it look exactly like this like I said It was about 65 75 dollar hoodie and I'm like nope. I'm a cricketer. I can do this myself So you always want to make sure with the copyright and all that This is okay to do I'm not selling it to anybody. This is just for myself So I'm okay doing it that way, but this is what it's gonna look like So I'm gonna make this as large as possible Which I believe is going to be like almost 11 and a half by 11 and a half So I'm gonna do it that size and then I'm gonna make this as big as possible as well So I'm gonna take my green mat It makes it easier with me just using my mat and I'm gonna take a green mat and I'm actually gonna lay it across my hoodie and I'm gonna measure this right here and Please don't take my measurement because depending on the size of my hoodie. It might be different than yours So no matter what always measure yours because you might want a little bit smaller a little bit bigger a little bit wider However, but I'm gonna try to make mine as long as possible I wanted to get fit it the whole way and then they also did one on the back So I think I'm gonna make two of these right here and then just wanted this for the front part So I think that would look really awesome So I'm gonna actually pause the video just for a minute because I didn't do it beforehand And I'm just gonna take my mat and go on here and see how wide it is Good idea is to actually press your Sweater first so it's nice and flat so you can get the full surface on it with no wrinkles or anything So I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Just give me a one second guys Sorry about that. So I went and measured mine mine actually is a little bit different I thought it was bigger at the top where that your hands go But it's a roughly 10 by 4 so it's 10 wide by 4 high So I'm gonna go up here and changes so I have it selected. I'm gonna go up here Hope you hear my thing beeping behind me. I had my Heat press on whoops, I forgot to unlock it. I'm gonna unlock it. I'm gonna change it to be 10 By roughly for my heat press just turned off because I was waiting too long So let's go ahead. I'm always not changing There we go wasn't it won't work on me All right, I don't know what they did with the design space But I don't really like it because nothing is working. You can see I can't click anything here What in the world is going on? They did an update, but I'm definitely not liking it So after seeing it looks a little skewed So I'm actually gonna take it and put it up a little higher make it look a little bit better So I just want to make sure I don't go over the 10 by 4 So that looks really good right there and then this I wanted to change to be As wide as I could and why there we go I really don't like what they did with this update guys. Seriously. Are you having issues with these updates? I've never had this before where it's grabbing bolts when I'm trying to grab just the one Anyway, so I'm gonna do the same thing I'm gonna unlock actually I'm gonna keep it locked because I don't want it to get skewed So what I want to do is get this as large as possible So I'm gonna change this to be 11.5 and then it's automatically gonna change the height for me So it's gonna look like this. I'm gonna shrink my screen a little bit so we can see this a little better So this is going to be up on the top. I'll show you the image again So it's gonna be up on the top here and then this is going to go across where your hands go Sorry, I don't really know the name pocket and hand warmer. No, so it's gonna look like that So we're gonna pull this down here. Why it's just grabbing both of them I don't know what's going on in this not let me. Oh, wow I'm gonna have to reset my computer or something guys. Sorry about this It's giving me issues where we'll let me grab it The other thing I wanted to do is just change the color on this I'm gonna go to the color box and change it black just so I can put this on one piece of HTV and not have to worry about it changing. So this is how it's gonna look There's nothing else I have to do to it I don't want to attach it because I want to put this where I want it to lay it itself It's both on basic cut, which is really good So I'm gonna go to make it again You can do this with anything if you like let's say you like adidas or something Okay, so you can do that as long as you're not selling it. You're okay to make it That is my understanding. I've done some research on that as long as you do not sell something and make a profit on it It's okay for you to make it yourself. If I am incorrect, please let me know but that's what I have been hearing So this is what I'm making the seven dust sweater So I'm gonna go to here and go to 12 by 24 so that I can cut out and one whole piece I'm going to mirror my image whenever you use HTV. You want to make sure you mirror your image So I'm gonna do that. The other thing I'd like to do a little bit is just is really wow acting funny I don't know if it's my computer or what but it just keeps grabbing in both images I was gonna say what I like to do is pull this down a little bit and give me a little bit of space to cut in between each one But just like that. So then I'm gonna continue. It's going to ask you what maker. Oops I think it's my computer guys actually cuz I don't know what's going on with all this stuff here Anyways, we're gonna ignore that what I like to use on here when I'm using HTV I don't use a cricket brand if you guys follow me. I really don't like it So I'm gonna use this one here heat transfer a non cricket I'm going to set my mat up put my black HTV on it have my cricket machine cut it out I will weed it out and then I will meet you at my heat press I'm gonna have to turn it back on again and Get that going but I'm gonna let you guys know what heat Temperature you need to have it at and then the time as well So I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out. Wow, I'm gonna have to reset my whole computer It is acting silly guys. Maybe it's not design space. Maybe it's just my computer Anyways, I'm gonna go ahead cut this out weed it out and then I will meet you guys at my to heat press All right, so I'm set up at my heat press. This is the HTV runt heat press I have it for 380 for 20 seconds and I'm going to this is the file that I did but I'm gonna show you a few things so I'm going to Give this a quick Press really quick just to kind of get the moisture out and get it flat and not getting wrinkles in it So I'm just gonna do a couple seconds on here Pretty important to do this and then there's also a next step that I'm gonna show you So that's good enough just a little bit to get a nice and flat nice warm And the other thing you're gonna want to do is get a lint roller. So I already did this I don't know if this shows up on camera, but how bad all this stuff already came off of it So I'm gonna show you a new piece To be honest with you I picked these up at the dollar store and last a really long time So what you want to do is just go over your Fabric and just get all that lint off stuff that you don't see And I'm gonna show you again after I used a new one How much more came off and like I said, I'm not sure if that's showing up on camera, but it's pretty bad So what I did is I found the center here, and I'm just going off of the center of The top part here So I put this up as far as I could and then I took my file Which is this and I folded it directly in half then I know where the center is here So the rule of thumb is three inches down. I'm not gonna go quite three inches down but roughly So about there and then I'm just kind of looking at the top You can get really precise with this and get a ruler and get one of those measuring things I just kind of eyeball it again. It's mine. So if I mess up, it's okay. I'm not selling it to anybody It's just for me So I'm gonna push this up a little bit further now that I know where the middle is Because I want to get it all the way on then I'm looking down here where this part is and kind of making sure it's centered there So that is it I'm going to use a piece of Teflon paper put it over this and Then just go For the 20 seconds Then I have the other file here as well that I did and I'm gonna do the same exact thing So I folded this in half so I know right where the line is right in half So the next part is gonna be moving it up a little bit further and getting the pocket area So excuse my mess over here if you see it. This is actually a new heat press that a V-Boar sent me I'm gonna be trying this out and let you guys know what that is all like But for right now, I'm still using my htv bra to press. So here it is here This be very careful because it's going to be very hot I'm just gonna let it sit for a couple seconds and I'm gonna peel it off And then I'm going to do this part next. So we're gonna carefully peel this off Beautiful already. It's saving me a ton of money and doing it myself Like I said, you can do any image you want on here that is free on Google as long as you're not selling it to anybody So there is the first piece. I'll show you really quick There it is my hands probably in the way Just like that. So then the next part I want to do is actually I'm gonna flip it upside down So we're gonna work upside down here And I'm gonna do the same process Put it on here nice and flat You can see all the wrinkles and everything in here. That's why it's really important to do a pre-press for this I'm gonna go ahead and just pre-press this really quick If you don't have this heat press, I would really recommend it. It's been a lifesaver I don't have to worry about pressure. You set the time really easy You set the temperature really easily you one touch and you goes up and down and then you have this really awesome pull out So then what you want to do is like I said the same thing I'm just gonna take the same thing and just go on here And make sure you get all those pieces and lint and everything off So again, I'm working upside down. So I want to put my image on Upside down so the here's the image here. It's all cut out and weeded. I have the center here, so I know where it is I'm working upside down, but I want to make sure that I get this on here So I'm gonna go from the line up here and kind of look that way and Then line it up on the edges to make sure it's not going to go over the edge So this might take me just a second to do this but once I get it on here I'll show you guys what it looks like. So on the edge here is means this part where the pocket is It's got the little curve on it here So I don't want my image to go over that so I'm trying to look at that spot on each side and Then I will look at it and kind of see is it up high enough is it down low enough? Is it in the center and Then once you get it where you want it again Teflon Push it in and have it go and then you have 20 seconds This may be the whole process between Finding the image putting it on design space Weeding it everything that you need to do it probably took me Maybe about 20 minutes if that to do start to finish and I'm super excited about this shirt I've been wanting one of these for a while, but again, I just wanted to make my own I Did want to do one on the back like I said as well. Whoops my Teflon sheets underneath there I'm not gonna grab it because it's hot, but it's underneath there I wanted to do one of these on the back as well, but I ran out of my red So I'm gonna have to wait till next time. I'm gonna let this cool off for just a second And I'm gonna peel it every HTV is different some of them are quick peels some of them are cool peels You got to make sure what yours is So there is that so I'm gonna show you this really quick Hide my face cuz that's morning and I'm not ready So here it is guys, this is what it looks like it was very easy to do It's just on a hoodie you can do it for anything just make sure you resize to what you want I hope you guys liked this video tutorial give me a thumbs up if you did and I hope this helps you with your Future projects. Take care everyone. Happy crafting
