Step by step
Embed the Message in the Bottle in your Canva website.
Customize and publish it in Fugte
Text, colors, images, numbers, and options are no-code settings, so you can match your branding without touching code. Publishing gives the Message in the Bottle a stable hosted link and an embed snippet.
Add an Embed element in Canva
Open your website design in Canva, then add an Embed element from Apps, or simply paste the link straight onto the page.
Paste the link and publish
Paste the hosted widget link, resize and position the Message in the Bottle like any other Canva element, then publish the site.
Good to know
Canva specifics worth planning around.
Canva renders only static, in-page embeds: floating buttons, sticky bars, and popups will not work on Canva sites.
There is no site-wide option: a widget you want on several pages must be embedded on each page individually.
The Embed element is available on free Canva accounts.
The link stays stable, so later edits made in the widget editor appear on the Canva page automatically, no need to reopen the design.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can I paste HTML or iframe code into Canva instead?
No. Canva websites do not support raw HTML, JavaScript, or iframe embeds on any plan. Hosting the widget elsewhere and embedding it by link is the supported route.
Will the Message in the Bottle stay interactive after the Canva site is published?
Yes. The Message in the Bottle loads live on the published site, on desktop and mobile, and visitors can interact with it without any account.
Does this need a paid Canva plan?
No. Canva's Embed element works on free accounts, and Fugte has a free plan, so you can test the full workflow at no cost.
