Our daughter’s birthday is December 28th (she’ll be 4 this year!) and she knows as soon as ‘the leaves are off the trees and the lights are up’ it means her birthday is getting close 🥰 Spence and I never used to decorate right after Thanksgiving, but now that we’ve got a little one that the lights mean so much to, we’re on it like clockwork. Since we’ll be shivering on ladders in a few days, it felt only fitting to share that holiday tradition in tutorial form this week 🤩

After the seamless pattern tutorial the other week and the free seamless pattern brushes last week, I wasn’t quite ready to stop this pattern train 🚂 So this week, I’m sharing how I make a seamless pattern brush in Procreate.

This has been one of my most requested tutorials so far this year, and today, it’s live! In this video, I’m sharing the process I follow for creating a seamless, simple repeat pattern in Procreate. By the end, you’ll have a pattern that seamlessly repeats on all four sides, and you’ll see how to test it to check it, too 🍋 Use this method with any subjects you’d like and when you’re done, upload the pattern square to your favorite textile site (here’s one of my favorites), or add it into Photoshop and have more fun – that pattern square is all you need ✨

Welcome to the first holiday tutorial of the season! To kick things off, I thought it would be fun to create custom holiday gift wrap in Adobe Illustrator. Since gift wrap is essentially a repeating pattern, we’ll be walking through all of the steps of a seamless pattern using the pattern tool. Be sure to pick up last week’s free holiday vectors to follow along exactly! This pattern tutorial is a little different; not only will we create a seamless swatch, I’ll also share how to apply any background color to your pattern quickly (without re-entering the pattern tool)! Once our pattern is complete, we’ll export it and use an online service to upload and customize our gift wrap. By the end of the video, you’ll have everything you need to create your pattern and also get your custom holiday gift wrap printed for real! Everything you need included below!
