Easy Free Roblox Shirt Maker: Create Shirt Templates

Just like most things related to Roblox, anyone and everyone is able to design and create their own Roblox shirts for their own avatar to wear, and share them with their friends, family, and the world. Using an image editor, your Roblox Create account, and Roblox Studio, your child can have some fun making custom Roblox shirt templates of their own. So today I’ll share my favorite free way to make shirts.

Enroll your child in an award-winning live online Roblox game coding class designed by experts from Google and MIT, because they’ll learn how to build custom games in Roblox while learning important computer science skills.

Free Roblox Shirt Makers

There isn’t a one-stop shop tool for making custom Roblox shirts. Instead creating shirts in Roblox involves designing them with image editing software, then uploading them to Roblox. There are many free tools to help kids and teens design shirts easily. Here are the two I recommend:

Canva: This user-friendly platform has free templates, and offers drag-and-drop design features to create custom shirt designs.

Pixlr: This is a free online photo editor with advanced tools. It’s a great option for teens familiar with Photoshop-like tools but looking for a free option.

Learn How To Make Roblox Shirt Templates

Creating a shirt for your Roblox character can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it, but of course it would be best to start out with the basics. For this example, we are going to create a shirt template that is one pattern all over. But you can also apply different looks to each section of the shirt template for a unique look later.

1. Find a blank shirt template.

You can find a blank shirt template using any image search engine, and then place it into an image editor, such as the online Pixlr editor or Canva. Be sure the image is of the PNG file type (not a JPG or GIF file). Download the image, then import it into your editor. If you like to use Pixlr, you can use this link to add it directly to the editor. First, we picked our image:

Now we opened it in Pixlr:

2. Add some color to the template.

Now that your template is loaded, you will want to start your creation. Let’s add some yellow as a background color. Using the Shape tool, add a yellow rectangle as a new layer, then move the rectangle layer down below the template layer by dragging it down in the “Layers” window.

If you are familiar with your image editor, you can try adding some textures or text to your shirt by using various tools. To add words, use the Add Layer > Text Layer tool:

To add a texture and then filter it onto the yellow rectangle, choose Image Layer and add a pattern image you have downloaded:

Then right click on the pattern Layer, and try different Blend Modes to see what you like (we used Darken to blend the pattern with the yellow rectangle):

Now we have a fun shirt to put on our avatar!

4. Save and export

Once you have your new design finished, you will need to save it to your computer. Find the Save button and be sure it gets saved as a PNG type file.

How To Upload Your Roblox Shirt Template

Once you have your PNG file, head over to Roblox Develop and click on Shirts. Once the tab loads in, you can click on Upload to add your shirt design to your Creations. NOTE: It does cost 10 Robux to upload your shirt to your Creations at this time.

Click on the Shirt name, and you can see your new shirt on a sample Robloxian!

How To Test Your Roblox Shirt Template

Now that we have the shirt into Roblox, we need to be sure things are working properly. Open Roblox Studio and click on New, then choose any template you want, such as Baseplate.

1. In Studio, open the Avatar tab and click Build Rig.

2. Choose a rig type from the popup menu. This should drop an avatar mannequin in your workspace named Dummy.

3. In the Explorer window, hover over the Dummy object, click the ⊕ button and insert a Shirt object (it will show up as being called Clothing).

4. In the Properties window, locate the ShirtTemplate property:

5. Return to your Shirt from the Create menu on the Roblox website and click on the three small dots to copy the URL for your shirt.

6. Return to Roblox Studio, Click inside the ShirtTemplate property’s row and paste the URL you copied from Roblox. This applies the clothing texture to the dummy character!

Discover Roblox Clothing Template Ideas

If you’re not sure what kinds of designs or patterns to make for a shirt in Roblox, here are a few suggestions to get you started.

1. Google it

Google Images has loads of ideas that you can view to get inspiration for your own designs. Simply type in the search, “Roblox shirt template ideas” and you can view thousands of unique designs others have made. Be sure to use them as inspiration only (think about how you could creatively combine multiple parts of ideas to make your own fresh creation), and not copy their designs directly without permission.

2. Pixlr.com Templates

The online image editor, Pixlr, offers plenty of templates to get you started, and you can quickly add them to the editor to make changes, add your personal touches, or kick things up a notch. The editor is free and easy to use!

3. Prezibase.com Seasonal Templates

Prezibase has a fun list of seasonal templates, so you could find shirt ideas for any season of the year. Feeling summery? Grab their striped Sailor template. Cold? They have a winter puffy jacket for that. Plenty of fun ideas to get you started on making your own shirt creation.
