For Handmade Artists
Free Earring Wearing Mockup Images and Easy Compositing Guide

Hello, this is Kanahina 😊
Thank you to everyone who came here from X.
Today I will introduce a new way to use wearing mockup images that can help your handmade accessories look more convincing on minne and other stores. I will also share the earring mockup images I created.
Let’s start with the free download of one image.

✅ How to download the free image

After you have reposted and followed, please download the file from the link below. The zip file contains a JPG image. You may be able to unzip it on a smartphone, but downloading from a computer is usually easier.

🎨 Paid wearing mockup packs are now available

The paid packs on minne include more variations than the free image, and the credit text in the lower-right corner is not required. I refined each mockup through many trials, so I would be very happy if you purchase a pack when you find a style you like.

🌟 Important: how to buy on minne

These are sold as downloadable items on minne, so they cannot be purchased or downloaded from the minne smartphone app. Please access the minne page from a browser such as Safari or Chrome and log in. Because the JPG files are inside a zip file, using a computer may be more convenient. If the minne app opens automatically, copy the URL below and paste it into your browser.

Try the free image first. If it feels useful, add more variation with the paid materials and show the appeal of your accessories more clearly.

📖 About these wearing mockup images

These mockup images were made so handmade artists can quickly place their own accessories onto a wearing photo. I generated the photos with AI, then corrected and finished them in Photoshop. These are digital JPG files, not printed paper materials shipped by mail.

✍️ Why I made them

“Wearing photos are necessary, but shooting them is hard.” “Existing materials look too pale and rarely show the right ear.” “Many images are too close-up and difficult to use.” “Printed sheets become worn after repeated pinning.” “Cut marks in paper bother me.” “I want to show expressions, outfits, and happy scenes too.” I listened to those concerns and focused on images that help customers imagine the happy future after wearing the accessory. You can print these images, but the main idea is to place your accessory photo onto the JPG wearing mockup and finish it as one product image. To reduce the workload for makers, my handmade-artist wife and I, a web designer, created them using AI and Photoshop. Only the images we were satisfied with in resolution, skin tone, and composition are offered for sale.

👀 Four improvements for handmade artists

[01] The “too pale” color problem

Before: printed wearing images often looked pale, making texture hard to convey. Now: the midtones are adjusted for a natural skin tone, reducing the washed-out look and restoring texture.

[02] The lack of right-ear images

Before: most available photos showed only the left ear. Now: every paid set includes both ears, so it works for right-ear and left-ear presentation.

[03] More freedom to crop: wide, medium, or close

Before: print-based photos fixed the composition. Now: because the images are over 3,000 px, makers can crop them wide, medium, or close as needed.

[04] Weak emotional scene setting

Before: only part of the face was visible, so the earring felt isolated. Now: the expression, outfit, and background create a scene that conveys aspiration and comfort.

✨ Easy 3-step compositing process

Once you have the mockup and your product photo ready, you can finish the image in about 5 to 10 minutes.

STEP 1: Photograph your product on a white background

Because the accessory needs to be cut out, shoot it from directly above on white paper or fabric. If you have a photo box, a top light plus straight-down shooting is easiest for background removal.

STEP 2: Remove the background

Use an app, software, or website to remove the background from your product photo. My recommended site is iLoveIMG. iLoveIMG

STEP 3: Place it on the mockup in an image editor

Open the wearing mockup in Canva, Photoshop, Figma, or another editor, then place the cut-out accessory image on top. For minne, a square image of 1280 px or larger is recommended. Crop the mockup to your preferred composition.

I have also included example images below for reference.

📄 Usage scope and credit

Commercial use is allowed for minne, Creema, your own online store, SNS, and print materials. For the free download image, please keep the credit in the lower-right corner when possible. Paid items sold on minne do not require credit.

⚠️ Prohibited uses

Redistribution or resale of the materials is prohibited, even after editing. Each file includes an identifier to prevent unauthorized distribution, so redistribution can be detected. Please do not share the files with third parties. Compositing with characters or celebrities, expressions that make the model appear to be a real person, and uses that infringe third-party rights are also prohibited.

🎯 Summary

Key points of this article: If you repost and follow on X, you can download one mockup for free and use it right away. You can create a wearing image in three easy steps. Paid mockups require no credit, include both ears, and offer more model variations. Start with the free download, try it out, and if you like it, consider the paid set on minne.
