How to Create a Mini Etsy

A Mini Etsy is a great way to either advertise your own Etsy shop or show off some of your favorites from Etsy. To do this, you will need to have a Etsy account. This will give you the access you need to the Mini Etsy creation feature.

Instructions

1. Log into your account on the Etsy website. If you do not have an account, you can quickly create one. All you will need is to create a user name, password and confirm those items through an email.

2. Go to "Your Etsy" once you have signed in. This link is located at the top of the page on the right-hand side. Scroll down on the new page and click on the "Mini Etsy" link at the bottom of the sidebar on the left-hand side.

3. Choose the items you want to show. You can either pick to view items from your own shop if you have one or from of the items that you have picked as favorites. Decide how big you want the Mini Etsy to be. There are two options, a 75-pixel size and a 155-pixel size. These sizes refer to the sizes of the individual listing that is going to be shown on the Mini Etsy.

4. Pick the number of columns and rows that you want on your Mini Etsy. You can make something as small as you need for a sidebar look to the mini Etsy or have a big block of selections.

5. View the preview that is created as you make your selections. This shows the exact look and size of the Mini Etsy that you create.

6. Copy the HTML that is created at the bottom of the page for the kind of page that you want to put your Mini Etsy on. There are two options. One is used for websites and blogs, and the other will work with social networking sites like MySpace.

7. Past the HTML code into the appropriate area of whatever site you are used and save the page. The Mini Etsy will show up when you view the new page.
