1. What You'll Learn in This Class: Have you always wanted to create your own custom wallpaper? Or have you been
thinking about turning your artwork into a
seamless repeat pattern? This class is for you.
Hi, I'm Cynthia Harrison. I'm an interior designer
and artists in Atlanta. As a designer, I'm
always looking for ways to personalize
environments. And then I discovered
how to create a seamless repeat pattern using my hand-drawn motifs
in Procreate. And that can be uploaded
to Spoonflower and printed on wallpaper and
fabric and other products. This has really been
a game changer. In this class, we're going
to look for inspiration to draw a fun and
interesting motifs, and then create a
seamless repeat pattern using our beautiful
imagery in Procreate. I'll show you how to recolor
your patterns and mockup a preview of your design so
you can see it come to life. I'll also show you how to
upload your pattern and order your custom wallpaper
from Spoonflower's website. I'll even share my wallpaper
installation with you. I'll teach you how
to draw elements using your inspiration images. I'll show you my quick and
easy techniques for creating dynamic repeat patterns
and how to organize your drawings to streamline
the recoloring process. You'll be able to use
these skills to create your own custom patterns
and transform them into wallpaper that's
truly unique to you. You'll also be able to apply
these patterns and motifs to other products that make great personalized gifts
for friends and family, or to help you
earn extra income. Not super confident with your drawing skills
yet, not a problem. As a bonus, I've included a free download of my flower
stamps in Procreate and you can use them
as your motifs to practice creating
repeat patterns. This class is suitable for
students of all skill levels. And if you have some
knowledge of Procreate, That's helpful, but
definitely not required. I'll be sharing some
high-level techniques. But if you want to
take a deeper dive into drawing in Procreate, I encourage you to explore the many other phenomenal
classes on Skillshare. If you'd like to hone
your re-coloring skills, check out my Color Study class where I show you how to create your own custom
signature palette and you can apply those
to your custom wallpaper designs. Now before we get started, I just wanted to take a moment to encourage you
to keep following your curiosity and to learn a new skill for your creative
practice whenever possible. To quote educator John Holt, "We learned to do
something by doing it. There is no other way." So I hope you practice these new skills and
put them into action. And I hope you have
fun with this. And thanks so much for
joining me for this class.
2. Your Class Project & Resources: [MUSIC] Hey, welcome back. Your class project is to create a seamless repeat patterns
for wallpaper in Procreate. Your finished project
can be a collection of JPEG or PNG images. That can include
your inspiration, maybe your Pinterest board or photographs you took
on your nature walk. I'd also love to see your progress sketches
of your motifs, as well as an image of
your patterns watch. You can show it in
just the full repeat, or you can scale it down to show the full repeating pattern. I'd also love to
see a mock-up of your pattern as wallpaper
using the mockup template. If you get to the point of
installing your wallpaper, I would love to see images
of that so don't forget to pop back into the class
and post pictures. To help you get going, I've included some
supporting resources. There are some procreate
class downloads, including a flower
stamp that I created, some color palettes,
a texture brush, and a wallpaper mockup. I've also included links
to a Pinterest board for inspiration and some principles of design for you to reference, as well as some spoonflower
guides and a link to Creative Market where
you can download your own templates for wallpaper
mock-ups for Photoshop. I'm really excited to work
with you on this project so join me in the next
lesson and we'll get started looking
for inspiration.
3. Finding Inspiration: [MUSIC] Hey, welcome back. In this video lesson,
we're going to be looking for inspiration to help guide us along the
way while we sketch our motifs and
build our patterns. In Julia Cameron's:
The Artist's Way, she talks about
filling the well. She talks about
collecting images to help refresh our
artistic reservoirs. You can do that by
collecting images from magazines or what I like to do is build
a Pinterest board. You're probably already
familiar with Pinterest. But this is a Pinterest
board I built, i's called Geo Flowers
and I've included a link in the resources section if
you want to reference that, or just build your own
and have fun with it. My Geo Flowers board is full of geometric flowers and
while I was building it, I was thinking about
minimal modern, abstract, mid-century modern,
almost folk art style. I tried to collect
images from lots of different resources
so that I wasn't too heavily reliant on
just one source. But anything that
caught my eye that had maybe a vibrant color or some geometry that
was eye-catching or maybe it was just the
layout or the composition, but this is what I gathered. I'm going to use this to help to guide my aesthetic
along the way. Of course, my absolute
favorite way for gathering inspiration is
going on a nature walk. You don't have to live next to a forest or a nature preserve, just go outside and walk around and pay attention to all the little
details around you. We actually planted
some cherry trees last year and this year the
blossoms were so incredible. I was just blown away by them. I'd really like to use
them as inspiration for creating a new pattern for my Geo Flowers collection, and I'm going to reference
these photos as well. Take your camera,
take your iPhone, get outside, get some fresh air, and connect with nature. Up next we'll be
setting up Procreate. I'll see you in the next lesson.
4. Setting Up Procreate: [MUSIC] Hey again, welcome back. In this lesson we're
going to be doing a few things to get a setup in Procreate before
we start sketching our motifs and designing
our wallpaper pattern. Before we set up our
canvas size and procreate, we need to consider
a couple of things. Probably the most
important is scale. Since we'll be
focusing this class on uploading our designs
to Spoonflower's website, it's important to
understand what Spoonflower's requirements are for their wallpaper designs. Spoonflower has provided this handy sizing wallpaper designs
guide on their website. I've included a link to this in the resources section
for you to reference. But essentially what we
need to know here is that Spoonflower's wallpaper
rolls are 24 inches wide. This is really helpful
for us so we can start to visualize what our
motifs would look like, whether they're sized at
six inches or 12 inches, or 18 inches, whatever you like. You can start to imagine what a 24-inch roll width
would look like. Once you have Procreate open, let's go ahead and create a
custom canvas size based on the information that we gained from Spoonflower's
24-inch roll width. I like to work with
a square canvas. I think I'm going to work with a 12 inch by 12
inch square canvas. Let's do that by clicking on the plus sign here
at the top right. Then let's create a
new custom canvas size by clicking on the "Custom
Canvas" icon just under that. Let's change our
units to inches. Then let's type in 12
inches by 12 inches. I want to leave my DPI at 300 because Spoonflower's
minimum is 150 DPI, but we can always
scale it down rather, if we wanted to scale it
up and only had 150 DPI, it might be a little harder to work with the
resolution there. Let's keep it at a higher DPI. You'll see here that the
maximum layers is 37. I think this might be a
little different depending on which version of
the iPad you have. But for us, 37 is
plenty to work with us. We sketch our motifs
and build our patterns. The next thing we want to do
is change our color profile. Because Spoonflower requires
sRGB color profile, we're going to select
the second one here which is pretty
industry standard. The last thing we want to
do is name our canvas. [MUSIC] Then we're
going to just create. That's going to
automatically open our brand new canvas
to work with. Before we get started drawing, I like to set up
a drawing guide. I'm going to select
the "Actions" tool at the top left is
this little wrench icon. Then select "Canvas" and
toggle the drawing guide on. Once you do that, you'll see a grid pop-up on your canvas. I want to edit the
size of that grid. Let's select "Edit
Drawing Guide." That's going to pop up this drawing guides
menu, dialogue. The 2D grid is already selected, but we want to take the grid
size all the way up to max. That is going to divide our
canvas into four quadrants, which is really going to
come in handy later on when we're setting up
our repeat pattern. Another feature in
Procreate that I really like to use is assisted drawing. We're going to toggle that on. It's the button on the
lower right hand corner. Then we're going to click on the symmetry tab
right above that. Then you're going to
see this Options tab. Click on "Options." That's going to give
us some guide options. You're going to see vertical, horizontal, quadrant,
and radial. I think for the first motif
I'm going to be drawing, I'm going to keep the vertical
guide option selected. But we can always come back and modify this whenever we need to. Now I'm going to select "Done" in the upper right-hand corner. Now it'd be a great
time to go ahead and download the flower stamps, color palettes, texture, brush, and wallpaper mockup
template that I created for you to
use in Procreate. To do that, click on the
"Projects and Resources" tab. Then click on the
"Class Downloads" link. That will take you to
this form where you can fill in your first name
and your e-mail address, and then click the "Get
The Downloads" button. Then pop over to your inbox. You should see an
e-mail from me for the Procreate freebies and just scroll down and click
the "Download" button. Then that will take you to
this drop box where you can physically download these
freebies onto your iPad. Here you'll see we've got a flower stamps, color swatches. There's a retro mod and a
springtime color swatch. There's a wallpaper
mock-up for Procreate, and a wallpaper texture brush, and then a warm
neutrals color palette as well for you to use. Click "Download" at the top. Then you'll see this arrow with a circle at the top right. That'll just take
a couple minutes. Once it's finished,
click the file and then click on the ZIP file
in your downloads folder. That will open the folder
with all the files in it. Then click on each
one and it will automatically load
into Procreate. [MUSIC] Now if you'll click
on your brushes tool for the brush library, you'll see the wallpaper
texture has loaded, and your flower stamps
have appeared as a new set of brushes
in your brush library. Then let's click on
the pallets tool so you can see your new color
palettes have been loaded, the springtime warm
neutrals and retro mod. Now let's go to the gallery. Click the upper left
gallery tab and you'll see the wallpaper mock-up art board
has been loaded. The last thing we
want to do is name our canvas that we created. I'm going to call
mine Cherry Blossoms. [MUSIC] Just enter
that and hit "Done." Now we're ready to get
started sketching. Next up we'll be sketching
our motifs in Procreate. See you there. [MUSIC]
5. Sketching Motifs in Procreate: [MUSIC] The first thing we want to do is pull up some of our inspiration images using
the split view feature. Tap the multitasking button at the top center of your screen, then tap split view. Then you can select
either Photos or Pinterest or whatever
app you're referencing. Then you can use
your finger to drag the divider between
the Procreate app and the images app to adjust how much of the screen you
want each to take up. I can use my fingers
to zoom in really close if I need to to
see all the detail. You can also just insert
a photo straight onto your Canvas by selecting
the Actions tool, and then selecting Add, and then insert a photo, and that will put the photo
directly on your artboard, and you can trace
that if you like. If it's your photo, no one's going to
call the art police. Or if you have
permission from whoever took the photo, that's fine too. If you're not super confident in your sketching skills yet, you can play around with the flower stamps that you downloaded from the
class resources, and those are in
your Brush Library. You can just play around
with those or experiment, and just see what
you come up with. I like to draw motifs with the Monoline pen from the
built-in calligraphy brushes. I'm going to select
this almost black color from the warm neutrals palette. A general rule of thumb is to keep all of your
motif elements on separate layers so you can edit or re-color them
a lot more easily. You'll see what I mean once we get further into the
sketching process. But just keep that in mind as you start sketching your motifs. I want to keep my
patterns simple. I'm going to create
just a few motifs, and I think I'll draw
a top view of one of the cherry blossoms showing the geometry of the
petals, and the stamen. Then I'll draw a side
view with the stem. Then I'll probably draw some of the leaves to add some
variety in interest. For the top view, I changed my drawing guide
options to quadrant, and I'm just going
to start sketching some petals until I'm
happy with the shape, which will probably
take me a few tries. You can see how the drawing assist is
helping us by mirroring the petal from where I'm drawing it to the opposite
side of the Canvas. I think I like this shape, so I'm going to fill it in. Then I'm going to use
the eraser to start to articulate the end of the petal, and I'm just going to zoom
in a little bit here, and make sure I
get a smooth edge. Now I'm going to duplicate
that layer by swiping left on the layer, and
selecting duplicate. Then I'm going to rotate it 90 degrees by selecting
the transform tool. Then I'm going to merge
these two layers into one by squeezing them together
with two fingers. Now I want to draw the
stamen on top of the petals. I'm going to use a
separate layer to do that. I'm going to select a new layer, and then I'm going to
select the Drawing Assist, and then I'm going
to change my color to this creamy white. Now I'm going to
start drawing a line, but I'm going to hold my
pencil down to activate procreates quick shape feature so that I can make a
perfectly straight line. Then if I press, and
hold with one finger, it will snap 90 degrees. That's going to be the
filament of the stamen, and then I'm going to zoom in, and draw the anther on the edge. I bet you didn't realize
you are going to be getting a lesson in the anatomy
of a flower today, but that's what
those are called. Because symmetry is
so important here, I'm going to make sure that the stamen is perfectly
centered on the Canvas. I'm going to select
the transform tool, and that's where we can check the magnetics, and snapping. If those are both turned on, I can align the stamen layer with the grid on the Canvas, and I'll know it's aligned when those two yellow lines show up. Now I'm going to
duplicate that stamen, and then rotate it 90 degrees. Then I'll merge those
two layers together, and turn the drawing assist off. Now I'm going to
duplicate that stamen. I want it to be a
different color. I'm going to turn
the Alpha Lock on, and then I'm going to rotate that stamen 45 degrees
with the transform tool. Then I'm going to change the color back to
that black color, and then I'm going
to select the layer, and select Fill Layer. Now I want to change
my background color to that creamy white
we were working with. I'm going to select
the background color at the bottom of our
layers, and change that. That can be any color you want, but I'm just going to stick with two colors for our
motifs, and patterns. We've got our top view
of our cherry blossom, and now I want to
do a side view. I'm going to change my
inspiration image to a view that shows something more
from the side with a stem. This is a good view. Now I want to draw those
on a different layer. I'm going to go ahead, and group the layers of the top view motif by
selecting the top layer, and then swiping to the right
on the other two layers, and then tap Group at the top. I'm going to minimize the
group by selecting the arrow, and then hide it by
unchecking the box. Now I'm going to
make a new layer. Then I'm going to turn the
drawing assist back on, but this time I
want to draw with the drawing assist set to
vertical instead of quadrant. I'm going to go back into the Actions tool and edit the drawing guide
like we did before. Now I'm going to
start sketching. [MUSIC] Now we've drawn our
leaves as well. We're going to go
ahead, and group those two layers
for the leaf motif. Now we have three
separate motifs, each grouped individually, and I can toggle each
one on, and off. Before we finish, I like to
keep things nice, and tidy. I'm going to go ahead, and group these three groups together. That way I have all of
the original artwork for each motif stored
away in a nice group. [MUSIC] Up next we'll be creating a seamless
repeat pattern in Procreate. See you soon.
6. Creating a Seamless Repeat Pattern in Procreate: [MUSIC]. Hey, welcome back. In this lesson, we're
going to be creating our repeat pattern in Procreate. But just in case
you're wondering what's a seamless
repeat pattern anyway? A seamless repeat pattern is an image that can be
placed side-by-side with copies of itself without any visible seams or
interruptions on the content. You can repeat this
image and create a pattern that can
go on infinitely. Take this wall
tile, for example. When a pattern repeats across
several tiles that stops on one and then continues where it left off
on the next tile, the only difference is you
see the grout line here. Whereas with a seamless pattern, you wouldn't see a seam, essentially our 12 by 12 Canvas that we
created in Procreate is going to serve as our tile in this technique I'm
about to show you, and anything that
touches the edge of our Canvas or tile needs to be copied to the other side so that it seamlessly repeats. Now, before we start
placing our motifs, I just want to go over a few design principles
just to keep in the back of your mind while you're laying out your design. Things like proportion, scale,
balance, harmony, variety, rhythm, and emphasis
can help develop and maintain a sense of visual
order among your motifs. For a deeper dive into
the design principles, I've included a link in
the class resources. Let's get started. The first thing I want to
do is duplicate my group of motifs so that I can preserve all of the
original artwork. Then I want to go into each individual motif
and I would like to subtract the white stamen
from the black petals below, because this is going to
help me re-color later and I just want to keep
two colors in my palette. I'm going to select the stamen layer and I'm
going to hit select, then I'm going to switch
to the petals layer. Then I'm going to use three
fingers and swipe down and then cut that out. What you can see here is that, it has cut out the
stamen from the petals. Now, I'm just going
to delete that layer, flatten that group, and
then I'm going to repeat those same steps for
the other two motifs. [MUSIC]. Now, you can see when I
change the background color, it shows through
the flower petals where the stamen used to be. Now, I'm going to make sure that my drawing guide is set to quadrant and my snapping
settings are turned on. Now, I'm going to rotate
my flower 45 degrees, and then I'm going to duplicate
that layer four times. Now, I'm going to
move those copies to the four corners of the
Canvas one at a time. Each time I do that, I'm going to make sure the yellow snap lines
show up so that I know that my motifs are perfectly centered
on each corner. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it just right, but it's important to take
the time here to do that. [MUSIC]. Now, you can see that
anything that crosses over the top edge of the Canvas
is repeated on the bottom. Anything that crosses
over the left edge of the Canvas is repeated
on the right side. Now, I'm going to
arrange my other motifs. Anytime I've got something hitting the edge of the Canvas, I'm going to make sure that it's mirrored over to the other side. [MUSIC]. I think I'm pretty
happy with this layout. I'm going to go ahead
and test this layout and just make sure there
aren't any gaps in the repeat. I'm going to duplicate my pattern group and
then flatten that. Then I'm going to
resize that so that it fits in the upper
left-hand quadrant. Then I'm going to duplicate that and then shift it over to the right so that it fills the upper right
portion of the Canvas. Then I'll merge those two
layers and duplicate that, and then move it to the
bottom half of the Canvas. Now, I can zoom in really closely to just make
sure there aren't any gaps where the tiles
meet. That looks good. To get ready for our mockup, which is part of the
next video lesson, I'm going to go ahead and
repeat those steps several times and fill the Canvas with a smaller scale
of the pattern. [MUSIC]. I'd also like to add a
texture to my pattern. I'm going to create a new layer, and then select my off-white
color from the palette. Then I'm going to select the wallpaper texture brush that's available in
the class downloads. I'll adjust the size a little
bit and then I'll just go all over the Canvas with
the wallpaper texture. That just looks a
little bit heavy. I'm going to change the opacity
of the layer by selecting the layer and then
tapping on the n and then taking the opacity down
to about 40 percent. Now, we are ready to export
our wallpaper pattern. We're going to click
on the Actions tool and select Share. I'm just going to export a JPEG. Then I'm going to save
it to this folder that I created on my iCloud Drive, but you can save yours wherever
is convenient for you. I also want to test a couple of other colorways for
my wallpaper pattern. I'm going to duplicate
my pattern layer, and then I'm going to
alpha lock that layer. Then I'll select this
teal green color from my color palettes, and then I'll go back
to the layer and then select Fill Layer. But then I want to change
the background color. I think I'll go with this dark
green color. I like that. Now, I'm going to
repeat those same steps and come up with a
second colorway. Then I'll export both of
these color wise as well, just like I did
with the original. [MUSIC]. Up next, we're going to be
imagining our designs as wallpaper using our
mockup template. See you in a bit. [MUSIC].
7. Imagining as Wallpaper: [MUSIC] Now we've exported our patterns, let's hop over to the wallpaper mockup and see what they look
like as wallpaper. I've included a step
by step guide on how to use this wallpaper
mockup in Procreate. First, you want to select the wallpaper multiply mode layer, and then select Insert file
from the actions menu, then select your
wallpaper design file to insert onto the Canvas. Be sure to double check
that your design is on the wallpaper layer because
it's set to multiply mode, and then turn off the
instructions layer. If you need to reposition
or rescale your design, you can do that using
the transform tool. I think I'm pretty
happy with this pattern and I think it looks
great as wallpaper. Now, I am a fan of
black and white, but I'm going to go
ahead and see what the other two
colorways look like. I'm going to duplicate the
wallpaper layer a couple of times and then turn off
two of the three layers. Then I'll clear the layer and go ahead and insert the other file. [BACKGROUND] Then I'll just repeat those steps for
the next colorway. You can also test your patterns on other mockups in Photoshop, I downloaded these
from Creative Market, and I've included a link to
that in the class resources. Up next, I'll show
you how to export your files for Spoonflower.
See you there.
8. Exporting Your Pattern: [MUSIC] Let's get ready to export our files
for Spoonflower. The first thing I want to do is double-check the file types, sizes, and color
mode requirements on the Spoonflower website. I've included a link to this page in the class
resources for your reference. They're asking for a JPG or a PNG file type and
150 dpi minimum. Then the overall file size needs to be under 40 megabytes. So let's check our
Canvas settings by selecting the Actions
tool and Canvas, and at the bottom, select "Canvas Information" and then select "Dimensions"
on the left. Our canvas here is
set to 12 inches by 12 inches and 300 dpi. Our current color
profile is set to sRGB, so we are good to go. What we need to export
for Spoonflower is just the pattern swatch
that we created. That's essentially
our repeat tile. Just make sure that all the other layers that
we created are turned off and that only the full
repeat swatch is turned on. I'm also going to include
my wallpaper texture layer because I really like the extra
dimension that that adds. To export our file, select the "Actions Tool" again, and then select "Share"
and just select "JPG" or "PNG" whichever
one you prefer. Then select the folder where
you want to save your file, and then I'm going to add swatch to my filename so
that I know that it's the full swatch repeat tile and that'll help make it easier for me to
locate it later. Just select "Save" and it
will export your file. Now I just want to
double-check that the file I saved is in the folder where I put it
and that it looks good. So [MUSIC] I'm
going to locate it, open it up, check it out. [MUSIC] It looks good, so we are ready to go. [MUSIC] In the next lesson, we're going to be uploading
our patterns to Spoonflower.
9. Uploading to Spoonflower: [MUSIC] I just want to quickly acknowledge
Spoonflower for their
sustainability efforts. I think it's so important
and one of the reasons why I like to use them for my
wall covering and fabric. Essentially, there are two
ways that you can upload and print your fabric or wall covering on
Spoonflower's website. The first option is just
a very quick method. You just upload your design, resize it, figure out your
quantity and order it. This option is
fine if you're not ready or interested in
selling your patterns. Once you upload your design, you'll be taken to the
design preview page, and if you click on
the Wallpaper tab, the default view is a mock-up
in a room and you can re-size the design by selecting the smaller tab or
the bigger tab, and the design
view shows a ruler at the top and left
side of your design, and I can see here, I've got two full
repeats of my design, which was originally 12 inches, and so that's going to be two
repeats on a 24-inch run. So then you can save the changes by selecting the Save
Changes button here. It's always a good
idea to order a sample on the actual material
that you're going to use, just to verify that the color and size and
everything looks good. Under the Choose
a Size menu tab, there's an option for Swatch, which is a two foot by one
foot sample of the wallpaper. Go ahead and select that, and then choose a quantity, I'm just going to get one of those and then add
it to my cart. Once you receive your sample, if there's any change
you'd like to make, you can go ahead and do that
by uploading a revision in your design preview or if
everything looks good, let's figure out the quantity. To calculate your quantity, you can select the
Wallpaper tab at the top and then select
Learn about wallpaper, and then scroll
down until you see this wallpaper calculator link, and this will show you
how to measure a wall and how to calculate the quantity of
wallpaper that you need. There's also a good
description here about the four different types of wallpaper that are
available here. Once you've measured your wall, you can enter the
wall height and width in feet and inches
in the calculator here, and then select, Calculate. And that will give you an
estimate of how much you need for each of the different
four types of wallpaper. And I'm going to select
the peel and stick removable woven type for
my wallpaper installation, and it says here I need four panels of the
two foot by 12 foot. Then I'll go back to
the design preview page and choose the paper, the size, and the amount, and then I will add
that to my cart. The next option is actually
my preferred method because it gives you the opportunity
to sell your designs. But to do that, you'll need
to set up an account and do some extra administrative
and marketing tasks. But it's certainly
worth the extra effort, and there's actually a better
built-in calculator for determining the
quantity based on your specific
pattern and layout. Once you've created an account
and uploaded your design, you can scroll down below the
design preview window and fill in the description and tags for the Marketing
and Selling. Then scroll back up
and then select the Go To Design Library
button on the left. The next few steps are
going to allow us to order a sampler so we
can prove our design. Once you're in the
Design Library, select Add Collection and
then Add a New Collection, just give it a name
and select Create. And then select that collection
for your new design. Then select Collections
on the left, and then select your collection. Select the link that says, See this collection in
your design library, and then click on the Get a
sampler button on the right. Then you'll be able to choose from all the different
kinds of fabric and then select the Order
a fabric sampler button. Another fun way to prove a
design is to Fill-A-Yard. To do that, go back
to your collection, click on Start Designing. From there you can
choose a template and the fabric to design
your project with. Select your fabric
swatch on the right, and then click one
or more areas in the design Canvas to fill
them with your design. Once you've filled it, you
can add it to your cart. I actually did this
previously with another collection
of mine and I'm going to use that fabric to create a Cheater
Quilt for my niece. Once you've proved your design, you'll want to set it up
for sale in your shop. To do that, go to your shop
and update your shop data by selecting the Show my profile to the public checkbox and
then select Update. Now that your shop is public, you can make any
already proved designs available for purchase. So to do that, scroll down the
design preview page to the Marketing and
Selling section. And in the Sell or Display area, click the checkbox next to the, I would like to
sell this design. If you get the
attention warning, you'll just need to complete
the Seller Verification, which is really easy to do. Hover over the small person icon in the upper right corner, and then click Account
Settings from the drop-down, select the Verify Account tab, and then you'll just go through the steps of verifying
your e-mail address, reading and accepting
the seller agreement, verifying your address and
completing the tax form, that whole process really
doesn't take but a few minutes, so don't get overwhelmed by it. Once you've completed
those steps, you'll be able to
see your design in the actual shop view. From here you'll be able to
select the type of wallpaper. Then there's a built-in
calculator for how much you'll need based on
the type of wallpaper. So then you'll select your size and quantity and add
that to your cart. [MUSIC] Up next, we'll be installing
our wallpaper. I can't wait to see you there. [MUSIC]
10. Installing Wallpaper: [MUSIC] Hey, welcome back. I am so excited about
this video lesson because we finally get to
install our wallpaper. First, I just want to
highlight a couple of Spoonflowers recommendations for installing the wallpaper. I've included a link to this Spoonflower Help Center in the class resources section. I highly recommend watching Spoonflowers YouTube
video on how to transform your
space with peel and stick woven removable wallpaper. Once you've read
the install guide, grab a friend or a partner, because this is definitely
a two-person job. These are the wallpaper
rolls I received from Spoonflower and they were kind enough to include this squeegee that is going
to be really helpful. I just wanted to open it up
and show you what it looks like and go over a couple
of things real quick. The way the rolls are printed, the bottom of the roll
is on the outside, so you'll need to re-roll each roll so that the
top is on the outside. [MUSIC] Now the top of my roll is on the
outside and I've got the backing here
that if you peel it off, you can feel the adhesive
on the back of the paper. This is the room I wanted
to install the wallpaper. It's a half bath and it
looks really boring. What a difference this
pattern makes on that wall. Wow, this is certainly a lot more interesting
than it was before. [LAUGHTER] I'll have to say,
I won't be as embarrassed to let people use this
bathroom when they come over. [LAUGHTER] I hope you had
as much fun as I did and I hope your design and wallpaper
is as much of a success, and I really appreciate
you being here. [MUSIC] Next, we'll review
what we've learned and talk about how
to share our work. See you there. [MUSIC]
11. Thank You!: [MUSIC] Thank you for
joining me for this class. I hope you feel more confident about looking for
inspiration and drawing your motifs to create a seamless repeat
pattern in Procreate. I would also encourage you
to upload your designs to Spoonflower and order and install your own
custom wallpaper, and I'd love to see what you do. Please be sure to share
what you've done in the project section and engage
with your fellow students. Don't forget to leave
a review and follow my profile here on Skillshare
if you liked this class. If you share your
project on Instagram, you can tag me
@CynthiaEHarrison. Thanks for watching, and I'll
see you next time. [MUSIC].
