Photoshop Beginner Tutorial - Gingham Texture

In this tutorial I want to show you how you can make a simple, but nice Gingham pattern with Photoshop CS3. The result will be seamless tiling.

You need to have basic knowledge about Photoshop to follow this tutorial.

This is a beginner tutorial and it will be very easy for you to get a nice result.

I'm using the german version of Photoshop, but I hope you can follow the tutorial without problems.

Step 01 

Open a new document - 400 x 400 pixel

Step 02 

Add a new layer on top of the background layer.
Make a mask with the size 20 x 400 pixel and fill it with a color of your choice

gingham

Step 03 

Deselect all.
Duplicate the layer with the colored stripe.
Move the stripe 100 pixels zu the side.

Merge the 4 stripes on 1 layer.

Step 06 

Duplicate the merged layer.

Step 07 

Rotate the new layer and move the stripes a bit to the right to get the following result:

Step 08 

Change the opacity for both layers to about 50 percent. You can experiment with different settings.

    Hi Jimmie, I don't use Gimp but I'm sure you can make such a texture with it too. All steps I did with Phoptoshop were done with very basic functions which should be include in Gimp (and all other graphic applications) too.
