How to Create an Embroidered DTube Hat on Zazzle

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.

You'll need to create an account on Zazzle

STEP 6: Add to Cart

 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

1. Create and buy your own
2. 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.
