  • Thank you for sharing! People normally gate keep this kind of info or don’t show it! I have asked people what they use and they say they don’t want to tell me. I don’t understand why people hate keep the information - normally i’m not making the same thing as you and might be making for a completely different audience as well,, and would be using my own designs. I’m not stealing your audience / customers in doing so. That kinda thing drives me crazy. I appreciate you sharing this info, because it’s incredibly difficult to find this from anyone! Hope you’re having a lovely day!
  • @SDoty
    As someone who designs products and works with factories for a living I wanted to say that this is a great overview. However, I have never manufactured or sourced my own designs so that part was really inspiring to see. Good on you for going for it! Also, anyone who is complaining that you are not providing confidential sourcing information is ridiculous.
  • Thanks for sharing Veronica! You were very thorough in your manu. search and tips for communicating with manufacturers. The plushes turned out SUPER cute. I'm totally gonna pre-order a lil' clementine-so sweet. 🌈
  • @sofieshen9491
    as an (ex) product designer, it actually doesnt matter if the design is in cmyk or rgb, but you need to call out every color that is on the design as a pantone color so that the manufacturer can reference it. some programs have a tool for this (like Adobe Illustrator) otherwise you would need a pantone swatch book and manually match the colors. i am impressed at what you could figure out without art school or professional product design experience!

  • Thank you for ALL the information. Us new comers really appreciate it. It’s so overwhelming at the beginning. You are amazing. I am coming back to your pateron. I’ve been missing my stickers and postcard every month. It was such an exciting time for me. I so want the plushies. As always much love from 6breakingloose
  • @crowpen
    I cannot stress this enough yall, make a new email specifically for this. Your email will be PACKED full of Alibaba messages and ads 😂 also when I did this for some odd reason all my coworkers got bombarded with Alibaba emails as well as emails about my design which kinda freaked me out lol
  • your plushies look so cute!!! and thank you for the tips on finding a manufacturer :)
  • Hello Veronika! Yout two designes turned out so nice as pushies 🥰 Thank you so much for all the information you shared in this video! It's super helpful 💕 Figuring out RGB and CMYK is pretty difficult for me aswell but it has to be done 😄 Have a lovely day!
  • @lindystitches
    Here to comment at the beginning! I am so excited about this video! Thank you Veronica! Now off to watch lol....
  • Thank you for the info, I already make plushies (clayface and crochet) but I'd love to have one made of my own designs to sell for a bit less!
  • @keineken_3281
    The thumbnail is funny because it looks like it says "FINDING A MAN"
  • Hey! I loved this video, and had a few questions of my own. I know depending on the manufacturer it will be different, but how long from sending in and agreeing on a design was it until you got to see a photo of the sample plush?
  • @maiaotaku
    Thank you for this helpful video ❤
  • @jmahonatam
