If you have your own DTube channel and would like to advertise it, one way would be with a hat featuring an embroidered DTube logo with your username underneath it.
I'm going to show you how to create your own, using Zazzle.
Distressed Chino Twill Cap
STEP 1: Download DTube Logo
- Go to DTube's media kit page
- Click on "Download as PNG" on one of the logos
- Right click on image and save it to your computer
STEP 2: Sign Up to Zazzle
You'll need to create an account on Zazzle
STEP 3: Choose a Hat Style & Colour
- Click here and scroll down to choose the hat style and colour you prefer
STEP 4: Add DTube Logo
- Click on "Add image"
- Select the DTube logo you saved earlier
- Click on "Ok, add this image"
- Click on icon to resize image to fit available space (no cropping)
STEP 5: Add Your Username
- Click on "Add text"
- Type in username and click "done"
- Click on "Art view"
- Click on down arrow to position text on bottom edge
- Choose font style, size and colour
STEP 6: Add to Cart
- Click on "Add to Cart" to purchase your embroidered hat from Zazzle
Note:
- It takes a few days (sometimes a week) for Zazzle to convert your PNG image into a stitch file (remember also that this is not free)
- You can also click on "Sell It" and sell your hat on the Zazzle marketplace
- If you sell it, be sure to allow the customer to customize the text by clicking on advance options while the text is selected and making it a template object
- If you upload the white DTube logo, after the image is converted to a stitch file, you have the option of changing the thread colours so that you can recolor the white thread to black for the dark logo version, at no extra charge

Buying Options
- Create and buy your own
- Buy one already created
Keep in mind that if you create your own Zazzle hat, it will cost around $8 to have the logo converted into the stitch file before you can buy it. If you don't want to do that but still want a hat, you have the option to buy the one I have created.
I have set the markup at 5%, which is the lowest that Zazzle allows. It also has my referral code attached to it but it doesn't affect the final purchase price.
Point by Point
Creating and buying your own:
- will cost you approximately $8 to convert image (plus cost of hat)
- will take around 3-7 days before ready to order
- will not have a 5% markup
Buying one already created:
- will not cost you $8 for stitch file (image is already converted)
- is ready to order immediately
- will have 5% markup
Whichever option you choose, I hope you enjoy your hat and wear it proudly.
