How to create seamless patterns using Canva and Printify - no drawing skills needed! (Full tutorial)

I love your calm, easy to follow tutorials!! Excellent!

Did this method work the same way if I use a pattern that I grab from creative fabrica

Thank you for sharing this with the public. So helpful and I never knew you could create a Surface pattern on Canva!

Thank you so much

I was able to create a pattern and got a sample. Thank you! What I found is that Velveteen minky blanket is thin and light. It must be washed before use as it caused me sneezing. Printing was beautifully done, but package looked cheap. I wonder if Minky blanket (not Velveteen, but a plain Minky) is thicker as it is more expensive. Printful shows reviews of all products, but Printify doesn't...

This is an awesome video! Thank you! 💗

Finally found someone who was thorough and had a sample product!! Thank you

Waww I am glad I found this tutorial, thank you for sharing I am considering starting a POD with printify, new subbie 🎉🎉

Hello . I want to know if what is use as a pattern is the 4-frame piece. Thank you very much for your videos

Love this tutorial! This made it so simple to understand an easy way to do this. Thanks!! ❤

Thank you for the information, Great method.

Thank you so much for the information. Love your content. Keep up the great work!

Thankyou! been trying to do blankets for week and they all look terrible! THANK YOU

Mandy, I owe you a drink, girl. This tutorial is easy to follow, and extremely helpful. Thank you, subscribed!

Hey Mandy! Wondering how you would handle a return request on a velveteen blanket saying “blanket is so cute but it’s thinner than what I wanted”.

Brillant Mandy, you explained everything so well. Thank you! Just came across you and subscribed.

Brilliant! Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!!!

That was incredibly helpful!

Great tutorial. Thank you so much!

so glad I found you!

This was a fantastic tutorial. What do you use for mock ups on the blankets.

Mandy-again…I have a question about blankets again…I was trying to make a blanket that has appearance of a quilt but of course Canvas art board is not big enough. I tried to upload it to Kittle in hopes I could stretch the design and basically same issue. I find it harder in Kittl to make the squares to be exactly the same bc I couldn’t find exact measurements to be same without guides and rulers that Canva have. I spoke with Printify and they said I may need to upload each element (up to 20) which is fine but I am nervous that it will take forever to get each “square” would take forever or be off in the design. Do you know an easier way bc I want the entire blanket to look like patchwork. Nothing repetitive or cut off. I see them on Etsy and idk how or which design tool. I figured if anyone knows how to do this is YOU!! Please I know a lot of us has asked more info about different blankets. Kelly from Therapy Design did a video in canva to Printful and she optimized it for resolution and it’s a great/appreciated video but it’s not all of what I am asking for but it did help a lot for that type. It’s hard to make products for big artboard for large designs. Ty for ANY info.

This is extremely helpful thank you

Great tutorial! Thank you so much! 🤗

Thank you, Mandy! This method is fantastic. I did learn Adobe Illustrator to do just this but it is time consuming. Will definitely give this a try. ❤ your calm voice and descriptive language🌺

So helpful! Thank you!!!

Something I haven't learned is how to make mock ups with these patterns if they're made on printify. I find that I can't carry it on to a tote bag or shirt without having to create the same pattern on Canva and trying to match it to how prinitfy creates the pattern, am I missing something that'll make my life easier?

can you do a video on how to add "blank" space for custom text on a seamless pattern? :) i don't see a lot of videos covering that

These polyester blankets are really bad for the environment and are basically made of plastic.

Is the size canvas 5000x5000 inci?

How much money do you recommend having on the side before starting your POD business? Just found your channel..great info! New subbie here

Mandy, are you able to show us how to create a name pattern for POD blankets?

Thank you

Thank You so much! I followed you step by step and my pattern came out perfectly! Thank you, Mandy!

Ok Mandy, so I have watched ALL of your videos x3 bc I LOVE them and your calm, thorough voice and workflow! I’ve commented and you have replied and I have read all the others comments and questions and I think I have found a few answers from there, so I am desperate to make a personalized blanket. And I’m about to give up-im depressed and desperate!! I feel so stupid and it’s overwhelming took me days I have wasted without progress and I am getting nowhere and less motivated bc I don’t want to just sale shirt designs!! So, you are my last hope! I would like to use a graphic design on a blanket like from CF and if this question ends up being impossible or maybe too hard -I maybe I could just use some clip art from there or Canva. So, one if I wasn’t doing a repeating pattern and I wanted to try for example to add a child’s name do I put it on the last image in the corner? Will it allow me to change for other names if ordered?? Bc once I save it it won’t all that? Would I use a darker font so visible or erase out some elements so the name is really visible? Like how would you add a -dog name to the blanket you designed in this video? I know this is a lot, but you are the only one I think may take time to answer. Secondly, I really want to do a child’s milestones blanket-do I put one big image in the middle and arrange it sideways or have a different size to make rectangles like 5000x6000? Then with the main big image in middle or even on one side -depending if the numbers for each mo of age was all in one side or even around the main image in the middle of blanket-would I still use 5000x5000 with blankets being more rectangular? How do I make that large enough to put in printify? Slide the bar to max like you told one of the above comments for ensuring that it fits big size blanket? Number 2 what am I doing wrong that won’t allow me to edit image for personalization or move elements so I can make names visible? Obviously, I’m saving something wrong and turning it into an image-not a template. I don’t know if you understand or others reading this can help me. I’ve saw a lot of blankets with names all over it, random fonts basically like using shape cloud in CF but they only allow one font but multiple color palette-but these ppl have multiple fonts. Plus elements such as an elephant or owl, ect basically like the one you have above but with name in all different fonts through out. Are they using another tool besides Canva or CF shape cloud? Or do they create one template that they go in and manually change each name all over the blanket on every order? Gesh, I know that was A LOT and I’m SO Sorry! Any help, advice from you or others would be soooo greatly appreciated! I am so defeated right now trying to make something unique enough that stands out that ppl want to buy from a NEW shop with no reviews! Thank you in advance! In the above video are those elements you started with from Canva or had you download that file if so how did you move those elements around throughout the tutorial?

Exactly what I was needing! Thank you 🎉

Hi Mandy, I have found a pattern that I love in Creative Fabrica and I'm having trouble with using it Printify when I select the 3 sizes. Any tips for already made patters?

do you typically do these as a 2 sided print?

Thank you for this tutorial! I watched a couple of other peoples methods and this is the best! I see you have tons of other content for me to binge. Yay. Thanks ❤

WHOOO HOOOO!! 🎉I'm so excited to learn this!! Thank you so much Mandy!

Yesterday I watched this video three times. Went home grabbed my computer and created my first pattern. The only thing is the moving things around to get the “white space” filled in never worked for me. Can you please do a little video on that part?
That being said this was soooo fun! I appreciate your video so much ❤

You’ve just blown my mind, that will transform my pattern making. Thank you

This is so clever! I wish i learnt this sooner

This is brilliant! Thank you Mandy for sharing!

Stellar content!

just discovered you and your a darling and you explain in a nice slower pace so i can follow and make your tutorials clear and simple well done you now have another follower !

The quadrant lineup in canva...never seen that before. I'm new to this so my mind was blown.

1st time viewer. You've earned a sub 👍

Hey, Stacy again 😂 When you do your last check (2nd page) do you normally download with a transparent background? Can this technique be be used for garment POD and digital papers? And lastly, do we download as a png or the svg to printify? One guy only used the free elements when he done his (to be able to edit images (I think) and he said he recommended the SVG download, but He done his method in 3 downloads to get end result (he needs to watch your method 😅) yours is x100 simpler and faster! And he was using Printful so he said he had to download as PDF print download. Maybe that’s only for Printful? But I think he did it all in canva instead of moving them in Printful. But I understand his reasoning for the editing process and svg for printing-how do you recommend since I didn’t see how you downloaded. I think his channel name is His name is Darren Meredith if you wanna watch to understand my questions. His video came up when I typed in making patterns in canva. Thanks again Mandy!!!

Hi Mandy, great video. I would like to know if after creating that product in Canva I can send it directly to Printify without having to use Etsy? Any suggestions? What would be the best way to sell without using Etsy or Sophify? Thank you very much in advance.
