Ghibli Style Photo AI Prompts Are Trending – So Of Course We Had To Try It Too

April 12, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

Remember when we got into so much trouble for playing with the dreaded “AI” and creating those cheeky Mattel Crafting Dolls? Oh yes—we heard you loud and clear (and we’re still giggling over it). But guess what? The AI rabbit hole is too tempting, and this time… it’s wrapped in yarn, forest creatures, and the soft golden glow of a Studio Ghibli sunset.

That’s right — Ghibli-style AI art prompts are trending, and we couldn’t resist jumping on this whimsical bandwagon.  

So how do you make them ? Open an AI image creator such as https://openart.ai   then add some AI Ghibli style prompts.

We’ve been playing around with prompts like:

“Studio Ghibli-style cozy knitting supply shop, run by a kind old woman with round glasses and a bun, shelves lined with colorful yarn balls and spools, magical forest creatures browsing supplies, glowing warm lighting…”

And let’s just say… the results are pure magic. Think cozy yarn havens nestled in enchanted woods, with soot sprites picking out the softest skeins and sleepy cats curled up on half-finished scarves. Honestly, we’d move in if we could.

These AI-generated pieces are perfect for visual storytelling, mood boards, or just a bit of crafty daydreaming. Feel free to use the images we’ve created, remix them, get inspired — but if you share them, please tag us! We love seeing how your creativity spins off into its own universe.

Got your own Ghibli-inspired prompt? Or a not-so-secret desire to knit with the forest spirits? We want to see it!

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to design a tea towel pattern inspired by a flying cat bus wearing a granny square shawl…

—
Stay magical, stay crafty — and maybe just a little rebellious.

You can swap the character or mood to suit your project.

  1. Forest Knitting Spirit

    “a forest spirit from a Studio Ghibli film sitting on a mossy log, knitting a scarf from glowing forest threads, surrounded by mushrooms, ferns, and floating lights, magical woodland, soft dreamy light, anime style”

  2. Totoro-inspired Knitting Time

    “a large fluffy creature inspired by Totoro knitting a giant scarf for a child, cozy cottage background, teacups on the table, autumn leaves outside, Ghibli-style illustration”

  3. Whimsical Knitting Shop

    “Studio Ghibli-style knitting supply shop run by a kind old woman, walls lined with colorful yarn, magical creatures buying supplies, warm lighting, detailed textures, dreamy background”

  4. Knitting Witch

    “a young Ghibli-style witch knitting with enchanted yarn, floating in a cozy cottage, potion bottles and spellbooks nearby, candlelight glow, black cat watching”

    AI prompt for this one was – “an old grey haired Ghibli-style lady doing hand embroidery surrounded by sewing items and a labradoodle. On the wall is a “CraftGossip” tattered poster”

 

Here are some more Ghibli style Prompts for crafters to try –
