Design Editor Instructions
- First you need to select the product you want to customize and click on the “customize” button to go to design editor
2. This is what you will see in the design editor. You can take the short tour or bypass it.
You’ll see on the left hand side that you can easily change the product options without having to go back out to the product page. 
3. The main section you will be using is “CLIPARTS” on the far left toolbar. When you open this up you can search for what you are looking for, or click the “categories” arrow and see the various item categories to help narrow down your selection. All of our cliparts and other tool items are free. 
4. The main screen is the template for the product you selected and will have instructions. You can put whatever clipart, text, designs etc. that you want here. This main template is what will be printed on the product you selected, so make sure this is what you want before you order. There may be arrows on the right side of the template. If there are, these are just examples if you want to play around and see what the final product may look like.
CAUTION: Whatever you put on the main template is what will be ordered, nothing you play with on the product image will be printed.
5. I’m working on a design for the red accent mug 11oz. I want red paw print background – so go to cliparts > backgrounds > paw prints and selected the red paw prints for 11oz mug (hover over the i in upper right corner of the image and you’ll see the size in the title) (NOTE: the colored paw prints were made to match the color accent mugs.) You’ll see that the background may not fully cover the entire product, so just drag the arrow in the bottom right to fully cover the template and move if you want to adjust the placement. I want to get an idea of what it will look like on the mug, so play with the example product a bit.
6. So I decided I want a contrasting color paw print, so let’s recolor them by clicking on the paint bucket in the upper right corner. 
You can select any of the preset colors or click inside the color code box and the color picker will appear and you can select any color you want. You can also make them lighter with the transparency bar. 
7. Naw.. let’s stick with the red paw prints – so I just clicked the “undo” on the top toolbar and back to where I want. Now I’ll add another clipart by clicking back on “all categories” and selecting the one I want. 
I choose the cute german shepherd and want it lined up to face me with the mug handle on the left side – so I use the centering dots to line it up where I want it and stretch to the size I want. 
So now I would like to add a name to the other side of the mug. So click on “text” on the far left toolbar under cliparts. Click on the font style you want and it will appear on the template. In the box where the font name is, type in the name or text you want. You can use the various tools on the top tool bar to change the size, color, position and other aspects of the text. You can also resize and move the text box itself. 
8. So now you’re done with your design – what now. Now just click “add to cart” to continue with purchasing the mug. The top toolbar also gives you the options to save to your designs or under “print” you can download or print the design, or even get a link to share it with others. (please don’t use “save as file” under the “file” tab)
