Personalize Zazzle Products Easily

Customize a Gift for Yourself or Someone Else

Click on the image below to open a new window or tab and follow the instructions with me.

This is the page that opens for the product. Click the "customize" button I circled in red at the bottom left of the screen.

Please note that there are two blocks of colored squares. These are for changing the colors of the binding and the lining. You do not need to click "customize" to do this. It is not found on all products. We will come back to this feature later.

Now this page opens. We are only going to change the background color at this point. The white makes the ipad sleeve look anemic, in my opinion. Click on "edit", the button I have circled in red.

On the list that opens, click on "background" and a new smaller window with colored squares will appear. You can drag the window to be next to the product to make it easier to work with.

Now you can select any color you want. The window will not close until you click "Done" on the bottom right of the colors window. That means that you can try a number of different colors until you find the one that "clicks" for you.

When you have that "aha" moment, click "done" and the colors window will close.

Let's say that you decided on the color I saved below. There are only two more steps: First, be sure to color the background of the back of the ipad cover (arrow 1), unless you want to leave it white.

Then, clicking on the second arrow, "Add to Cart" - you pay for your ipad cover and wait for it to come home to you.

This iPad Sleeve Looks Great in A Variety of Background Colors

But it looks even better when the lining and binding are in matching colors.

Play around with the lining and binding colors for more options

You may want to change the size and font of the text. For that you click "customize" and then click on the text box to highlight it (number 1 on the image below).

I'll use the example of the back of the ipad sleeve, just for variety. Don't forget to make sure front and back match in font type.

The numeral (number 2 on the image above) represents font size. The black rectangle (number 3) represents font color, and the"f" (number 4) is the text color.

If you want to change the wording of the text, you click on "change text" on the text box (shown by the arrow on the image). This will open a window in the middle of the screen, allowing you to change the text.

You can delete the text entirely or add something in your own words: a message, a name or an event the ipad may commemorate.

When you click "f", a window with a variety of fonts opens up. You can drag the list next to the product and try out different fonts to see how they would appear on your ipad.

When you are happy with the font, click "close". I selected "Shotgun" in this case.

When you click the numbers, you get a scale that allows you to increase or decrease the font size

I originally used the font, Tannarine, for the ipad and a small size worked. But for the font, Melanie. I changed it to 22. Try it and see what a difference it makes.

After changing the font size, I changed its color to white by clicking on the little black square (it is now covered by the color palette).

After clicking your choice of color, click "done" and the window will close.

Sometimes when you open a product page, you see templates the designer made available for text and images to make it easy to change them. You just rewrite (or delete) what is in the little text boxes, or replace images using the "change" feature.

Even when there are templates, however, if you want to change the background color, font type or font size, you need to "customize" using the steps described above.
