Justin Babcock • December 21, 2021

As an early present to you, the DIY marketer, Web Education Services is sharing one of our favorite ways to create holiday posts for any occasion. But, hey, it is Christmas, so below are both video instructions and a quick how-to guide for creating a Christmas post. If you get stuck or need any help, reach out to our support team for a free help session. 

Go to Canva.com

Canva is one of our favorite free web-based software applications that allow DIY designers to create professional content.

Click on the Instagram post icon

The Instagram post design tool gives you a 1 x 1 ratio for your image that is perfect for posting to all platforms! It also looks great on both mobile posts and desktop views.

Search for Christmas and select a template

Click on the search bar in the upper right-hand corner. Type in Christmas and click on search for Christmas. You will see several free templates to choose from. Click on the template you like best!

Upload your logo and a picture

Click on the uploads icon to the left of your screen about halfway down. Click on the upload media button. Select a logo and a picture from your computer.

Replace the template photo and text

Now the fun really begins. If your template had a photo, click on the uploads icon to the left of your screen about halfway down. Click and drag your photo on top of the placeholder/template photo. You should see the photo swap out. If you have trouble, you can always click on the undo button at the top-left-hand side of the screen. 


Next, click on your logo to add it to the design. You can resize the logo by clicking on the white boxes on the corner of the image. You can also click and drag the logo to any position you desire.


Finally, double-click on the larger text box and change the text to Merry Christmas. If the text is too big, click on the minus button at the top-middle of the screen. You can also click on the font size number and manually type in the font size. Double-click on the smaller text box and change the text to your website or phone number.

Download your post

Click on the download button in the upper right-hand corner. A drop-down will appear. Click on the download button. Your Christmas post is now ready to use.

Now it is time to post to all the major social media platforms!
