If you’re looking to add some pizazz to your Teachers Pay Teachers store, one way to do that is by creating a custom banner in Canva. Canva is a free online design platform that’s beloved by educators for its simple and intuitive design interface.
Plus, there are tons of free templates and resources available. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a Teachers Pay Teachers banner in Canva.
1. Go to canva.com and create a free account. You’ll need to provide your name, email address, and create a password. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button.
2. Select “Custom dimensions” from the dropdown menu.
In the pop-up window, enter 1800 x 200 pixels for the custom dimensions. This is the standard size for a TpT banner.
3. Choose a template or start from scratch.
If you select a template, you can customize it to your liking by adding images, text, and changing colors and fonts. If you start from scratch, you’ll need to add all of those elements yourself.
4. Add images by clicking on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and selecting photos from your computer files. You can also search for free stock photos within Canva by clicking on the “Search” tab. Be sure to use high-quality images that are at least 1800 x 200 pixels so they’ll look sharp on your TpT banner.
5. Add text by clicking on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and typing out your message. You can play around with different fonts and colors until you find something that looks good with your images. Be sure to use keyword-rich text so potential buyers can easily find your products when they’re searching on TpT.
6. Download your banner. Once you’re happy with how your banner looks, click on the “Download” button in the top right-hand corner and select “JPEG” from the dropdown menu.
7. Upload your banner to TpT. Head over to your Teachers Pay Teachers store and click on the “My Products” tab. Then click on “Edit Product” for the product you want to add your new banner to.
Scroll down to the “Product Images” section and click on the “Add Image” button. Select your JPEG file from Step 6 and click “Open.” Your new banner will now be added to your product!
Creating a custom Teachers Pay Teachers banner in Canva is easy and only takes a few minutes! By following the steps above, you can add some personality and flair to your store that will help it stand out from the rest. Be sure to use high-quality images and keyword-rich text so potential buyers can easily find your products when they’re searching online!
