Etsy Header
Creating A Etsy Banner In Canva
We will create your Etsy Store’s Banner and Icon in Canva. If you do not have a account, you can click below and create a Free account.
We are going to set up your Etsy Header in Canva now.
Canva has a free version you can use.
This will be fun and creative. You can always change your banner and logo in your
Etsy Store.
Now we will create our banner for our Etsy Store.
Firstly, go to your Canva.com account and login.
To search for the “Header Banners” go to the search bar inside of Canva and Typing in ‘Etsy’, you do have images available to use inside of Canva.
If you hover over the Etsy shop cover, you will see that they will start with the size of “1200 by 300 pixels”, which is what we need to get started. We are going to click one of these banners.
Examples of Etsy Header Banner Unedited:
Etsy Banner Edited With Personal Information:
You will see that your search will pull up the Etsy Headers for your Etsy Store. These are some pre-designed templates that you can use to alter to make your own customized banner.
Now, you might find that these images are going to be limited. However, you can work with Canva to change them to suit what you are trying to do or to get the look you want to acheive.
If you have a paid account, you will have more options available. To get you started, you can use the options that Canva gives you with the free version.
You can start to work with some of the options. For example, if we were to choose this option right at the top, what that would do is it will bring you into a Canva workspace with that actual banner. When you place your cursor on top of the banner, you are going to start to see some of the elements available.
You can download in .png format. That means now we can come back to our Etsy store, and we can add in the banner image that we just created.
Now click this ‘Add an Image’ button. We will then grab the image that we created. We will click ‘Open’, and then this is going to now be our banner that we just created inside of Canva, and this will create your headline banner your store.
Etsy Shop Icon
Creating Your Shop Icon In Canva
We will want to customize your Icon for your Etsy Store.
Go back to “Edit Our Shop”.
what you are going to notice here is that you can upload a photo. So when we click that photo, you will notice that you are recommended to use one of the photo formats and then an image that is at least
“500 pixels by 500 pixels”.
Canva makes this easy to create banners and logos with pre-made templates.
Now we will go back to the Canva homepage. Then type in ‘Etsy Shop Icon’ in the window and you will see that we have templates for an Etsy shop icon, which is going to be “500 by 500 pixels”.
We can use one of the designs to personalize for your Etsy Shop.
Example of Etsy Icon Image Edited
This is not a full-blown tutorial on the use of Canva. However, what we can do is we can use it to create what we need it for when designing our Etsy Store. I have also provided a “Youtube” link in the above tutorial.
We want to save it so you can always come back to Canva and
you can redo this image when you are ready to have something that is more branded.
So once we have completed the personalized Etsy Icon image, just download the image just as we did the banner to your hard drive.
We will head back to Etsy. Now you have your Etsy Icon image saved, you will click on top of the image. Now you will choose the file that you just created. Open it into our Etsy store. Now go to the bottom and click ‘Save’.
Etsy – Info & Appearance
Now view your shop. If you are satisfied with your listing, you will click ‘Looks Good’ and then we will have our Icon image for our store.
You should have your Store Banner and Your Store Icon created and uploaded now.
Shop Title
First, what we can do is we can give our store a shop title, and we can describe our store. You are going to see that link here on the front page.
Now click that link and what we are going to do is we are going to add in a brief description about our store.
Keep the description within one sentence.
You will be able to see what it will look like on Google search. So now click ‘Save’.
Location
Now, this is going to be of particular interest to you if you are selling offline, or if you’re having people come to you for your goods. Now, if you’re going to choose to have that location, you can then click ‘Save’. And then you have your second customization.
