🌟Text-Only Designs:
Going with just text can look fantastic, but keep in mind that font choices should be balanced and harmonious. Avoid oversaturating the design with too much text, instead, stick to one or two words. If you want to add more, ensure to balance the sizes, weights, and styles. Also, try pairing different fonts for contrast (one for each line works well).
😉Pro tip: Make the text pop with embroidery! This adds a cozy, authentic feel that’s perfect for Christmas.
🎀Graphic-Only Designs:
Graphic-only sweaters are super popular, especially on Etsy. Shoppers love designs that keep things simple yet eye-catching. Choose a large main graphic to fill the front, or go with two to four smaller Christmas elements arranged across the center. For a minimalist look, place a small graphic in the upper right or left corner.
The vibe is up to you! If you’re aiming for something cute, try smiling gingerbread characters or festive animals in Santa hats.
