IN THE STUDIO
Create your 15-frame sequence
Choose Photo or Video
Confirm that you own or have permission to use the media, then choose a clear original photo or a video up to 30 seconds long.
Pick the moment
For video, drag the one-second window to the exact action you want and release it so all 15 full-quality frames render. A photo is turned into a seamless 15-frame motion loop automatically.
Frame the subject
Choose square or portrait, then pan and zoom until the face or main subject is large and clear. Release the zoom or pan control to update the whole sequence.
Choose the product style
Select Color Candy for printed color tiles or Chocolate Photo Relief for molded monochrome tiles. Add a border, candy effect, and color treatment only if you want them in the finished design.
Review the loop
Use play, pause, and the frame-step controls. Rotate and zoom the 3D zoetrope to check cropping, frame order, and how the motion reads before exporting.
KEEP THE COMPLETE FILE SET
Download the export package
Finish all 15 frames
Wait until the preview has stopped processing and the export controls are available.
Build the ZIP
Under the final preview, choose Export mold package (.zip). The studio prepares the clean source frames, final color composite, candy and border layers, person masks when available, and the settings manifest.
Save it locally
When “Your editable mold package is ready” appears, choose Download ZIP. On a phone or tablet, choose Share / Save ZIP and save it to Files or Downloads.
Keep the package intact
Keep the file named flickerbonbon-mold-package.zip. Do not rename files inside it, change their order, or recompress the package unless the manufacturer asks you to.
ORDER FROM A COMPATIBLE MAKER
Submit it through Etsy
Confirm the maker’s requirements
Open the custom manufacturing listing and read its instructions. Ask the seller to confirm the accepted tile size, square or portrait format, Color Candy or Pure Chocolate style, quantity, deadline, and required file-transfer method.
Place the custom order
Choose the listing options and complete any personalization fields. Include your product style and desired quantity in the order notes.
Upload only the files Etsy accepts
If the listing shows a File upload field, send the PNG, JPG, SVG, HEIC, or PDF files specifically requested by the seller. Etsy’s built-in personalization uploader does not currently accept ZIP files, so the complete FlickerBonbon package cannot be attached there directly.
Transfer the complete ZIP safely
Follow the secure upload instructions provided in the Etsy listing or by the seller in Etsy Messages. If no transfer method is listed, use Message seller and ask where to send the untouched ZIP. Etsy Message attachments also do not accept ZIP files.
Approve the proof
Before manufacturing begins, verify the frame order, crop, orientation, product style, physical dimensions, and quantity. Keep your original ZIP until the finished order arrives.
