AI Prompt suggestions, please?

[Connie]

Could I please get some suggestions for prompts for kitchen towel mockups like these on Etsy? I get free AI generations with my Freepik subscription, I'd like to avoid buying AI mockups from Etsy when I can generate my own. But I don't know how to tell it to hang the towel flat on the rack, and have some kitchen stuff on the counter, with a white shiplap or tile wall. Everything I tried I got the towel hanging on a peg at an angle with lots of folds, and not flat.

I don't know how well it will work on Freepik, but I got some good possibilities with Midjourney using this prompt (in version 6): close up of a blank white kitchen tea towel flat on a rod, mockup, white shiplap wall, herbs, dishes
It took me a few runs, but MJ finally figured it out. If the prompt doesn't work for you in Freepik, you're more than welcome to use the ones I spun up. They're in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15247kzUtLnj9QZMDNAeL8mTWfJEr843e?usp=sharing
The "problem" of course is that the towels are realistic, so they have folds and shadows, which is okay if your design works on a white towel. But if you want to have a pattern or color it'll require some tinkering in Photoshop (or Photopea). I made smart mockups for 2 of the images (in that folder above) - again, you're welcome to use them!
Hope that helps! 😊

Wow! Those are so awesome.  Looks like midjourney does a great job creating images.  It's fun trying the different AI platforms - some definitely work better than others. Thanks for these!

You're quite welcome! And yeah - I love seeing all the variety the different platforms put out. I could waste a lot of time (and $$) playing around! LOL

THANK YOU so much! Midjourney is a LOT smarter than Freepik! I tried this prompt several times, and I couldn't even get the towel to be hanging on a ROD in most of the images! then it insisted on putting the herbs in front of the towel, or in a pocket on the towel, and a lot more ridiculous things LOL! So I'll have to use your images.

It's good that the towels have realistic shadows and folds. I can add my design and set it to multiply, and it works really well. The method you used in those 2 smart mockups works great also.

Yay! I'm glad it helped! 🙌
