EASIEST Way To Design Top Etsy Products | Kittl Step-By-Step Tutorial
About this video
Dylan Jahraus and coach Annabella present a sponsored step-by-step Kittl tutorial for creating scroll-stopping Etsy designs, arguing most shops struggle because designs do not stop the scroll and claiming sales could double by changing design approach. They recommend Kittl over beginner Canva use for what they describe as better templates, trendier mockups, premium fonts, and the ability to hold different sizes in one project. The walkthrough starts a print-on-demand project at 300 DPI (72 or 150 for screen), suggests 2,000 x 2,000 pixels for an Etsy listing, then uses a trending teacher / back-to-school t-shirt template as the base rather than copying Etsy trends directly. Annabella tweaks fonts, spacing, colors with the eyedropper/hex codes, grouping/ungrouping, and layer controls, applies the rule that main focus words should be one size and everything else about one-third less, and adds small elements. The ‘golden combination’ is template plus Kittl AI vector elements — e.g. prompting for a trendy minimalist open book instead of scrolling element libraries — and using the workspace to create multiple variations for A/B testing. She places the design on Kittl mockups described as based on real people, changes the shirt color, and quick-exports as PNG/JPEG/SVG/PDF with transparent background and DPI/resize options. Dylan says Annabella created a trendy back print in less than 5 minutes, described as doing well in 2025, and urges spotting trends before they reach Etsy and bringing them to market quickly with Kittl.
Key takeaways
- Start from a Kittl trending template and tweak it for your profitable customer instead of building a design from scratch in Canva
- For print-on-demand set 300 DPI; the tutorial uses a 2,000 x 2,000 pixel artboard for an Etsy listing
- Apply the sizing rule: main focus words at one size, supporting words about one-third smaller, with tight line/letter spacing
- Combine templates with Kittl AI vector generation — prompt for the exact element you need rather than scrolling element libraries
- Keep multiple artboards/variations in one workspace for A/B testing, then quick-export as transparent PNG for use on different shirt colors
