What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to
do it? Villa to make it. So do we. And
we have new videos each week. We have a
million dollar idea for you.
$1 million.
Maybe not a million dollars, $100,000, a
couple of thousand dollars. We're going
to take one AI generated image and we're
going to put it on at least 20 products.
Yes, this is definitely one of those
projects that evokes an emotional
response because it's personalized and
it's using your family members. You're
going to be able to take individual
photos of family members and we're going
to put them together to create one
Bitmoji family photo. And we have to
thank Christian from Tumbly House
Creative because he provided the AI
prompt. You're going to be able to use
the same AI prompt that we're going to
use in today's video to create your own
Bitmoji family. You're going to add a
couple of different options in there,
and you'll be able to customize this for
any number of family members, including
loved ones that maybe have passed on.
You want to add some pets. You can do
all of those things in this project.
What I love about using AI like this is
one, it's easy and repeatable, and it
takes just a couple of minutes instead
of me trying to build each little bit
emoji. And we're going to show you
multiple ways that you can use this one
image to make money on any number of
things.
[Music]
Step one, time to gather the family.
We're going to make our Bitmoji family
using chat GPT. And again, I have to
thank Christian with Tumbly House
Creative. He is a whiz with AI. If you
have seen any of our social media
lately, our action figures or our little
plushies, we Christian created the
prompt for those and created those and
they're just so cute and they're just
perfect for our branding with that new
update to chat GPT and being able to
create like realistic looking images.
That has been amazing. Have you tried
using any of those? Have you made a
plushie? How have you used chat GPT? Let
me know in a comment down below. Here we
are in Chat GPT. We're going to create
our image. The first thing we're going
to need to do is upload the photos of
each person that's going to be in the
image. So, I created a separate photo
for each person. And by clicking this
plus button, I was able to upload the
file. Now, I'll give you a little tip
here. The more everybody looks distinct
and different, especially wearing
different clothing or different physical
features like glasses or beard or a hat,
the more you can reference them by name.
and chat GPT will know who you're
talking about. My image is too close up.
I didn't have enough
distinctive variances in my I just had
blonde hair. There was nothing else I
could say. It had no other features and
I couldn't give myself a color of a
shirt. My shirt's actually black in this
one. No body. Is it going to try to give
you its own body now? Yeah. I hope it
makes me look good. Me, too.
And so here I've, you see, I have pasted
in the AI prompt from Christian and
Tumbly House Creative. So there are a
couple of features or variables that
we're going to tweak in this. So I'm
just make sure you read it closely. And
there in the prompt when I pasted it in
originally, there were a couple of
things where you had to choose this or
that. And I've done that. I also added
the individual people into the prompt so
that chat GPT will know who's in the
image. So here you can say who here's
who is in the image. Courtney's wearing
glasses and a tan shirt. Tanner is
wearing black and has a beard. So each
person Emma is wearing glasses. So each
person has some sort of a feature about
them. Kim is the mom and has blonde hair
and a black shirt. We said in the
beginning of the prompt that the mom
would be centered. This is a kind of a
Mother's Day themed AI image and Garrett
is wearing a hat. Place him in the
center. So then there's the layout
style, etc. So you're going to tweak
this just a little bit. Most of it's
already there for you. And then hit
enter and it will generate your image.
So this is the first image that was
generated for me. Hey, that's looking
pretty good except um Sarah's looking
way too innocent and young.
So, this is Sarah, and she does look a
little younger. She's this teen like the
others. So, these two are the same age.
Actually, she's younger than she is. So,
but I did note that she had a green
dress on and gave her a green shirt.
That's more like it. I I mean,
otherwise, it looks good. I like how
they gave Tanner his little mustache and
beard over there. Yeah. His cute little
hair. And his tufted hair. Yeah. You can
see that Courtney actually had a tan
shirt on. and she had a tan shirt in the
generated image. Uh Emma had a gray
shirt on and I specify that in the
prompt and she has a gray shirt in the
image. But uh so since Sarah was looking
a little young, I did ask it just to
rerun just rerun the whole thing and it
gave me this image which is looking even
better. Yeah, this one looks pretty
good. Uh, but I really liked in one of
my previous versions that I ran of this.
Yeah, Sarah had the pink tips in her
hair. Sarah's still looking a little too
innocent. It picked it up. And I think
that we can specify that we want her to
have those pink tips. So, you can
actually click on the image that it's
generated for you. And over here, you
can use this little selection tool and
you can highlight and specify the person
that you want to reference. So, I'm
gonna just highlight her. I don't want
to go too far out of the realm there.
And then I can describe what I want to
add, remove, or replace. Say, "Looks
like she joined the pink ladies."
Well, I said, "Can we add pink tips to
her hair and put her in a green shirt?"
So, this is what it gave me back. That
is a nice looking image. Yeah, I thought
this was pretty good. Everybody's
represented. Emma wears glasses.
Courtney wears glasses. Sarah now has
her rebellious pink tips. Grace has
blonde hair. Isabelle has brown hair.
Garrett's wearing his hat. So, everybody
is a shade of themselves in Bitmoji
format. So, this is the image we're
going to
use. From here, we're just going to
click on the image. Or you don't
actually have to click on the image. You
can just click download from right here.
Just click download and it will download
it for us. Step two. Time to put the
image on the product. So, we have our
fun little bit emmoji family. Now, it's
time to put it on multiple different
things. We're going to give you lots of
ideas of how you can advertise different
products that you can make with this one
AI image. Now, we'll import our image
into Creative Space. So, we're just
going to click import. Here's our image.
Open. Yes, we're going to scale it to
fit on our canvas. It's still pretty
big. So, let's modify. Oh, let's modify
it a little bit.
And the first thing I see is we're not
going to really want this background. So
I can adjust and remove the background
right here in Creative Space. I'm going
to click cutout. And it'll do an AI
cutout or a manual cutout here. It
already knew I wanted to remove the
background. It's done a great job of
removing the background. It will require
six credits to do this for me. Credits
are pretty affordable. I think I
purchased a,000 for 20 or $30. It really
wasn't a lot. So That's not bad at all.
I can just hit confirm. So, this looks
great. Now, we have our image. The next
thing is I don't actually have the tote
bag in front of me. So, I'm just going
to do a quick mockup and show the tote
bag down here. Oh, perfect. You can see
I was messing with it. And now it's He
looks really beefy. And he is going to
love this family tote bag. Look at that.
It looks just like his family tote bag.
You can modify the size of the image.
Maybe it's a little big. So I can put it
like this and say apply scaling. He
wants the whole tote. He wants it
wrapped. So now it's adjusted the size
of the image. And from here I can just
hit print or I could have hit print from
the
[Music]
mockup. We're going to use the DTF image
that we created here to put it on
multiple products. You can put this on
t-shirts, hats, flags. We're putting it
on a tote here today, but there's so
many different apparel type items that
you can apply a DTF image to. Now, let's
modify the same image for laser
engraving. I'm going to select it. I'm
going to copy this using C. I'm going to
head over to my S140 watt and I'm just
going to paste it into this
one. I'm going to use a filter comic 2.
Looks great. Now we resize this. I know
my little keychain is an inch and a
half. So we'll say
1.5. And my laser head is right here
lined up with my
keychain. I already have my material
selected. Let's make sure that this is
on
engrave. We're good to go. I'm going to
frame it and then
process. For this one, we're using our X
tool S1 diode laser. It's a 40 W diode.
This one is great for engraving. So you
can do things like jewelry, phone cases,
cutting boards are great, and of course
keychains. Let's use this same image one
more time. We're going to copy
again. We'll come over to the F1 Ultra.
We'll paste it in
here. This is going to be for an
ornament. I know the ornament is 4 in.
We'll say 4
in. And now I'm going to
go
adjust invert. And that's because we're
engraving this on black acrylic. So
what's dark we want white. I set my
material to black acrylic. Confirm. Got
it. I'm going to use all of these
material settings. I'm going to frame
and process.
For this one, we're using our F1 Ultra,
which is a Galvo laser. And this is
perfect for engraving as well. You can
do any number of things. We can do slate
coasters. We can do leather like wallets
or flasks. I love it for tumblers. We've
done tons of tumblers with the F1 Ultra.
And here you can see we're using black
acrylic and we're engraving the family
photo on the black
[Music]
acrylic. Let's use this family image one
more time. We're going to jump over to
our X tool P2S.
Now, I've already preprinted this with
the UV printer with the family image.
We're going to use the P2 to cut out the
clear acrylic for a nightlight base.
I've already have my material selected.
I'm going to make sure it's selected on
the correct recommended speed and power,
and we're just going to process.
For this one, we're using our X tool
P2S. And we're using this one because
it's a CO2 laser, which means we can cut
and engrave clear acrylic. We can also
combine this with UV printing and do
things like magnets, photo frames, or a
lighted photo blocks like this
one. And this image is perfect for UV
printing. Whether you're using a flatbed
printer or a UV DTF printer, you could
do things like wine glasses, mugs, shot
glasses, tumblers. You can make
beautiful tumblers along with printing
wall canvases and even car
decals. Step three, profit. Now it's
time to take some pictures and post some
photos. Use apps like Photo Room and
Canva to pretty up your pictures. Make
sure they look very professional before
you start posting them and sharing them
on your social medias. And definitely
leave us a comment down below of some of
the other items that you could think of.
We've shown you 20 different things that
you could put your family Bit Emoji item
on, but I'm sure you've got other bright
ideas, and it's awesome to share it with
others so that we can all make that
million dollars. Leave us a comment down
below. I already said that, too. Oh, did
you? Yes. Oh, my bad. What she said. If
