hello~✸
I finally filmed a comprehensive guide to designing and manufacturing! I had this product idea of making a plushie jewelry organizer for a while now and wanted to show the entire process from start to finish. I've been asked so many times of how I find manufacturers as well as some tips, I tried my very best to include as much of my knowledge in this video. If you have any more questions about manufacturing please leave it below!

I'm a simple guy, I see a new Apple Cheeks video. I watch and become filled with hope, inspiration and purpose.

@ayakotami3318 Месяц назад

Same. 😊

@alissavidz Месяц назад

I have zero intentions of making plushies, but I found myself wanting to pay attention to every second of this video. thank you for being super thorough & informative! it’s so cool to see the BTS of your process 🥰

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

awww thank u!!!

@nikolam6952 Месяц назад

Best manufacturing advice is always be persistent and be direct - it will yield the best results! if a factory does not want to help you there are always more! Never let a factory stop you from producing your product, you just gotta find the right fit! (from someone who deals with this daily haha) Such an incredibly informative, grounded and realistic video!!!

yesyesyes!

@meredythlynn2105 Месяц назад

Yes please to a part 2!!!

@RosebudRosita Месяц назад

As someone who has been wanting to manufacture products but has been too overwhelmed on how to start - THANK U!! 😭 literally such a thorough and amazing video. No one really wants to share these secrets and the process, ur awesome and ur plush jewelry box idea is too cute! 🥺💓

@Pollygone Месяц назад

I've already gotten my own plushies made, but this is such a good guide! :) It's SO important to pick the right manufacturer and really research them. Mine gave me a great sample & then really messed me around with the final product. I don't know anyone who has used them before, so I probably should have avoided them. Overall I LOVE how they came out, but the whole process was almost a YEAR. I'm kinda jealous that you got them made so quick!

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

oh no! yeah I think it's so important to follow up and ask them for update photos even while they're working on the bulk of it to make sure things are going well. I think some projects take me a lot longer, some are faster too, really depends on the manus experience :)

@mariannerady1137 Месяц назад

thanks for being transparent about your process! Really interesting

@benipray Месяц назад

I super appreciate you sharing so much information about plushie production and especially communication with manufacturers! It's very hard to find such specific info online and it can be very intimidating to tackle. Thank you so so much!

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

I'm so glad! Happy to help :)

@m234as Месяц назад

I’m so freakin excited to see the final sample of this product 🍰

@PHcute Месяц назад

You are amazing for taking up on this! Seems like so much work goes into these plushies. I wouldn’t have the emotional strength to deal any of it right now (or ever) so well done you! Thx for sharing the process! ❤

@pat4005 9 дней назад

Thank you for sharing your process. ❤ Your presentation was so nice and to the point, but still relaxed and enjoyable. I really appreciate how thoroughly you go through each step using your own product as an example.

@crystalkissoon4514 14 часов назад

This was really informative and interesting, and I would absolutely love to see the completion of this product, mostly so I can buy it lol.

@zanderg7048 Месяц назад

Can you do a more in depth video or short on Trademarks and copyrights... like if you come out with a new design that's yours do you register each item separately or is it like bc it's under your brand it's covered?

@freya131 Месяц назад

Yap that would be very helpful

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

To be honest I’m not fully educated on copyright and trademark but I can see what I can find!

@natalieastravars7313 Месяц назад

the way i was almost taking notes on everything even tho i dont plan on making anything like this (at least not yet) LOL it's so cool to see the bts, there's so much work that goes into creating the product from start to finish! thank you for sharing and being honest and transparent and informative. I would love to see part 2!

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

ahhhh!

@flaura_99 Месяц назад

I'd looove to watch part 2! I learned a lot and I'm honestly very curious about the end result 🤭

@JezliFineArts 10 дней назад

This is such wonderful advice, I have created cut & sew patterns and was thinking of manufacturing. Knowing this makes it easier. Just send a tech pack with dimensions and let them make the patterns!

@maiajenik5726 День назад

I've just discovered your channel and absolutely loved seing your process. Thank you!! please make part two ❤❤❤❤

@tsnoodle185 Месяц назад

I'm not going to be making any plushies but I was glued to the screen, also yes please drop the rest of the process after the final product is out maybe! Loved the BTS and you're so cool :')

@111music7 Месяц назад

I'm so glad you made this video. Definitely voting for a part 2 if you do decide to make it. I've been thinking more and more about starting a shop and possibly looking into manufacturing. I have a hard time finding accurate information on how to do this stuff and a week after I'd ecide to pursue this you release this video! The way you explained it made sense and wasn't overwhelming. Thank you!!

@patriciaabell9393 22 дня назад

If I were designing a plush jewelry box... there would be little pockets with zippers and a tiny clear plastic label spot to slide some kind of ref picture for the spot... some plush flowers for icing double as little pockets of precious things! I design purses, jewelry, and lamps... I used to sell to individuals, but I became disabled, and now I do prototypes only... usually for loved ones cause I don't have enough energy for it all... I really enjoy your channel, because you are smart... I'll pray for you!😊

@vritarita6871 Месяц назад

Such an interesting video, lots of information, thank you! I was always wondering what its like and I imagined the process very complicated. It is! But the explanation is very clear and it seems fun. Hope they made zippers thin and hidden and made the middle part fluffy too!) waiting for part 2 !

@ginawilkolak7492 Месяц назад

@sparklezks4557 Месяц назад

Am i an artist, no, will i ever make a plushie, no! But this was such an interesting behind the scenes video 💕💕 Such cute ideas too!!

@chamn5742 Месяц назад

Soooo interesting to see the behind the scene ! I feel that for the zipper, an invisible zipper may do the trick ?

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

exactly what I'm thinking too, I'll try to request it from my manu :)

@neotsukishiro Месяц назад

It was very interesting to know more about all the process! It must require not only lots of money but also lots of patience and it seems like a long process of inspecting all the details, communicating and asking... When you were searching for inspiration and references to create your own product it must be very nice to do all this searching I think!

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

it really does feel like quite the long process, but it makes it even more worth it in the end! :)

@nannybells Месяц назад

your plushies are soooo cute

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

Thank you :)

@jostockdale Месяц назад

last week i was like “i really want to make a plushie this year i gotta bug my friends about how they did it” and then you make THE guide

@damajewels3606 Месяц назад

@raven-chan2071 Месяц назад

Ty. One of my major dreams is to sell and make plushies. Im just working on the designs

@magicmyth2635 28 дней назад

question before even starting designing plushies how do you actually find someone to make you product and how do you protect your design? i am really curious to learn more about this process because i havent found any info about i so far. 🤔 but thank you for making this video Apple Cheeks. i love lo learn new things. and didnt know all these steps behind designing a plushie. but they look so cute in the end. 😍 also another question was it hard to decide which colours to use or do you choose based one how you feeling?

@beansproutsprouting Месяц назад

Thank you for such an informative video 🥹 I hope we get a part 2~ I wish I watched this before manufacturing my own! The NDA part was very informative, as one of my manufacturers actually sent me SOMEONE ELSE'S SAMPLE as a gift (along with my sample)??? Not sure if that is normal, but I'm sure it would've been avoided if we made them sign NDAs!

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

I think sometimes when manufacturers say they can offer a MOQ as low as 100 pcs or something, they actually tell the manufacturer to make like 500+ pcs and end up selling the rest off as bulk for other people to sell them. So definitely be clear that these designs are not to be resold or copied!

@tracealace 5 дней назад

This is such a useful video !! I was wondering if you make all your manufacturers sign an NDA ? Even for your other products like keychains, lanyards etc?

@qianliow4421 Месяц назад

please have a part 2!! its very educational!! will there still be stocks of the strawberry pouch at your shop update? :)

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

Thank you! I won't be restocking those, they were a limited drop! :(

Here I am again, watching your video every time i feel anxious about my small business cause i don't know what to do and how to start again.

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

everytime I feel anxious, making lists and a plan of action always helps! Then you can break it down into smaller more bite sized tasks~

@b.slocumb7763 Месяц назад

Freight= “frate” 😊

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

LOL I only realized that after I edited that I said it wrong 😭

@ShineyGlaceon 12 дней назад

Checked out manufacturers and the shipping (for 100 plushies) was over $3000... am now I'm scared to even ask anyone else what the shipping is, I have no idea what a normal price is but surely no one can pay that much???

@apple.cheeks 12 дней назад

Did they specify what type of shipping it was? It might be by air which explains the high price

@nairidiary_art Месяц назад

One good thing to know about the mold for part is the mold life cycle. It will tell you how many pieces you will be able to get from the mold before the mold no longer produces the high quality it did when the mold was new. The manufacturer can use various types of metals for molds to either reduce cost or improve part quality.

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

Good tip, I never knew this! Thanks for sharing it :)

@GGkimchi Месяц назад

May I ask where is your necklace from? I love it sm

@Dee_Generate Месяц назад

absolutely yes to part 2!

@Karen_in_Alaska Месяц назад

I think freight is pronounced more like “frayt” rather than sounding closer to fright. 🤔 Or maybe I’ve been pronouncing it wrong this whole time? Either way, this video was amazingly helpful! ❤️ That one word just caught my ear. As a bookish person, I find my pronunciation when I say things out loud sometimes reveals I’ve never heard the word spoken before! 😊

@b.slocumb7763 Месяц назад

I caught that too, I was like- ocean fright?? Never heard it pronounced like that before.

@arielsmith-essers3079 Месяц назад

You’re correct, it’s pronounced like frate, not like fright. That threw me too, I’ve never heard it pronounced like fright before. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to pronounce something when you’ve only seen it written though.

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

ahahaha yeah I realized that while editing :') I just thought people would know what I meant !

@itsgeline2895 Месяц назад

part 2!! heheheh

@Heylailacruz 2 дня назад

Thank you so much for the video! I was wondering if I should've sent out NDA's before asking for quotations from different manufacturers or do I only do it with the manu that I want to work with? 😭 Maybe i made a wrong move 😅

@susank4039 Месяц назад

My day job is product designing, but I've always wanted to start work on my own products as a side business. There are some helpful tips I needed to know here. Thank you. Committing is scary, especially when you're working with overseas manufacturers. Can I ask what you use for payment transactions with overseas manufacturers?

@apple.cheeks Месяц назад

Yes! I direct wire them to the manufacturer, I know sometimes they also offer ACH payments
