Love these! Seeing as they are hanging (and you see an insitu of them hanging) could the first lot of images have the tag at the top?
Otherwise all my designs have to be upside down 😂🤣😂
Thanks!
edited to add - there's a pixel missing in one of the previews (top one from design tool)
(unless there is muck on my monitor) - can anyone else see it on theirs?
Video announcement?
Thankyou. Totally missed the link in the Creator News post. Now I am wondering who is Alex Offermann and why is this review an unlisted vid on his account and not the official Zazzle YT account?
Anyway, as @BKMuir said, it does look like there are two different mitt sizes in the vid. The ones in the back look much shorter and also have a flatter top, not as rounded over as the ones in the front. I don't see the speck @Sara_H saw.
Love that these are AOP, eager to make some sets now along with coordinated aprons.
I love these, thanks.
I would like to be able to just offer the pot holder only with some designs, but it shows the option of adding the design to the oven mitt as well, which looks really bad. Hoping no one would even try to buy the set, but I'd prefer to have it just show the pot holder alone.
Also, the insitu "hanging" picture background color doesn't work with too many designs. And the hangers are kinda clunky. just sayin.
@pencilcat to only offer just the pot holder -> edit details -> product merchandising -> "sell this design on" drop-down - select : This set only - click done to save
if you only want to offer a particular backing (eg just silver padding or black) select 'This Style Only"
To edit which backing heat protection you want to offer "Manage Options" then select
click done to save
Thank you both. I did all that. It doesn't work. When I click on the product on the sell page, even though the "potholder only" option is selected, it still shows all the options and says "set or singles". It leaves the mitt alone option blank, but automatically places the potholder design on the "Set" option.
So I thought "well, I'll make lemonade out of this" and actually design a workable, but not ideal, option for the oven mitt, since it's gonna show anyway. So I did this:
Then I published it. But when I clicked on this newly revised design, it still defaults back to the original 'one image' on the potholder design, placed awkwardly on the mitt. So I give up.
Thankfully I do have a bunch of repeat design patterns that work well for the sets, but you know how you get sometimes trying to make the ones that won't cooperate work! I have several of these 'potholder only' designs that I'm obsessing over, so I need to chill.
Thank you Zazzle, these are a great gift addition!... I have some feedback: I have noticed that "white" colors look washed out on Zazzle's first two "front" images, as opposed to the last two images that show a brighter white. I hope white colors in real life look the same as the white on Zazzle's aprons, and not with this washed-out ivory color, as some customers might like to gift them as a set.
It would be a good idea to have all Zazzle's images showing the same white tone consistently in all their images, so they don't cause confusion with customers as they will be wondering what they look like, will they be like the first two front images or the last two?
Yes, absolutely, the loop needs to be shown at the top, given that most people hang their mitts and pot holders. To deal with the display problem, I came up with one solution, though I sure don't want to do it with all the ones I design. Curved text:
@northwestphotos in Product merchandising - make sure you've set it to "This set only" and not 'this style only'
"this set" gives you just the product plus optional backings
'this style" just gives you whatever backing you chose and no other backing option
Love the products but the design areas are upside down on both shapes. The actual way is not the standard way you would print these items. The designs and texts usually show toward the bottom / fingers (glove). I would rotate them 180° clockwise so we (and customers) can design them normally without having to work on them upside down to get them printed/previewed the normal way. A few previews would also need adjustments. See the shot:
Hate to sound like a Karen on steroids but you know it's always for a good cause 😉
If you do an image search for 'funny oven mitts' most of them are printed so the design is facing the wearer and this is how it's set up in the Design Tool. But this of course means it's going to be upside-down when hanging on display.
If you design upside-down to make it right-side-up when hanging (or if Zazzle flips things around) then it would be upside-down to the person wearing it which seems to go against the way these are most commonly sold.
There's no way to have it both ways.
And speaking of both ways - the mitts are only good for right-handers. Ideally, there would be an option to choose a left-handed mitt instead and have the design automatically converted if they do.
Decided. I will go the mixed way. Designing the holder upside-down so it hangs right, no matter if you buy it alone or paired with the glove, and the glove as-is so it looks toward the holder - unless I want it explicitly the other way round. Even if hung next to each other it doesn't look bad.
Those look great. Since pot holders can obviously be used/oriented any which way I like your approach here. In my house growing up pot holders were used only as "trivets" for setting hot things on and otherwise lived in a kitchen drawer. Mitts were for reaching into the oven as they protect a good bit of your arm, too. But those stayed in a cupboard above the stove. I guess we just weren't into displaying such things as decoration. So if I personally wanted a mitt today, I'd want the design facing me and not care about hanging. This is definitely one of those things were it's going to be personal preference, no one-size fits all solution.
