First of all, pay for the graphics you use. Now just a word about purchasing and using other people’s artwork. Let someone else do the creative stuff for you, and then you can just arrange the elements as you want them on the wallpaper. So there you have it! You don’t even have to have artistic ability to create your own custom wallpaper specifically designed for your room. And then I started arranging some of the flowers and leaves in the center of the image. I opened up a new image sized to 24 inches wide and 32 inches high because I like very large repeats on wallpaper. To create something as large as wallpaper, you’ll have to work with a very large image. Step 1: Open a new large image, and add design elements to the middle of the image. I personally use a very reasonably priced program called Corel Paintshop Pro. Of course, Adobe Photoshop has this capability. To create a wallpaper pattern, you’ll need to use a photo editing software that allows you to create layers on one image and manipulate each layer separately. Creating your own wallpaper design with a seamless repeatable pattern That checkered background means that it’s transparent, which means that you can layer the different floral elements on top of and around each other without having to worry about backgrounds getting in the way. For example, when you open up an individual file, it’ll look like this in your editing software… These sets come as a bundle of individual files, and they’re all saved as. The sets I bought also came with several pre-made bouquets, borders, and repeatable backgrounds. For example, the Forest Queen package comes with these elements… When you purchase these, they come as a package of individual graphics. And then I opened up my photo editing software and started playing around with my favorite flowers. I bought this Forest Queen set, and this Clementine set. I finally narrowed down my purchase to two sets of watercolor flowers and fillers by the same artist, Charushella. I just searched for “watercolor flowers” and found loads of options. They have all kind of things like fonts, photos and graphics that can be used to create an endless number of items. So I decided to head to my favorite online source for creative elements - a site called Creative Market. And while I’m sure that either my mom or I could do the watercolor artwork for wallpaper I envision, neither of us really has time to do that right now. I’ve shown y’all before how to turn a very simple acrylic painting into a repeatable wallpaper design, but that’s not what I want for my studio. See what I mean about an explosion of flowers? □ There are no precious little bouquets of flowers on that wall! I made a couple of designs, and this is the one I liked the most… Rather than precious bouquets of flowers neatly bundled with lots of blank space between them, I wanted it to look more like an explosion of flowers all over the wallpaper. I knew I wanted something really bold (like really, really bold) with very little negative space. But after months and months of searching for the perfect pattern with no success (believe me, I’ve searched all major wallpaper companies, Etsy, Bluebellgray, Spoonflower, and on, and on), I’ve finally decided that my only option is to create my own custom wallpaper pattern. What I really want on the front wall of my studio is a bold, colorful watercolor floral wallpaper. Of course, I’m working on a wallpaper design for my studio, but this is something virtually anyone can do with no artistic ability required. Today, I want to show you how to create your own wallpaper design that you can use in your home or on other creative projects.
