can purchase and download designs from anywhere but then you're stuck with those designs what if somebody comes to you and wants their own design or a custom design and they want it to be seamless you could probably scatter some images around and make it look seamless you could probably just throw their logo up on the front and Scatter some other stuff around make it look seamless you want to give them the wow factor of giving them a seamless wrap tumbler and just taking it to the next level and we're going to show you how to do this in canva we're going to show you some pretty cool tips and tricks on how to create your pattern and then turn around from that replicate it and create two or three different patterns with more detail step one we're going to gather all of our supplies we needed a tumbler because we're making tumblers and then we needed some masking tape to do some testing so we don't mess up our one tumbler that we have and that is it step two we're going to make our design and I'm going to meet you over in canva here we are in canva if you've watched our videos we always say don't sleep on canva it is a powerful tool for your crafts and your business we recently created a series of videos on how to create your and set up your brand profile and how to create several promotional materials right in canva but today we're going to show you how to create that seamless wrap tumbler so let's start with creating a design we usually start with poster this landscape view here this is almost always what we start out with with a blank design and the first thing we're going to do is change the size of our workspace here to match the size of our tumbler so we're going to do this by clicking on resize and we're going to say custom size here 10. 875 by 5.5 here we are the next thing we're going to do is just add some elements to our canvas I know we're doing a Christmas design and I've already done a rough draft of this so here in my recently used are the images that I'm going to use for this seamless wrap tumbler so I'm just going to grab them and add them to our canvas here did that one this one [Music] this one this one and this one I think that's what we're going to go with for now the next thing we're going to do is start setting this up so that we can have it be a repeating pattern so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to take our one of our Christmas trees and let me move this out the way and start the repeating process so the way this is going to work is you're going to put half of an image on one side and the other half of the image on the other side and if you think of this as how it will wrap around your tumbler you will see that this side of the Christmas tree I'm going to hold the ALT key and duplicate this will if I put this on half see that purple line now you know you're right in the center of the tree now this half will match with this half if this wraps around the tumbler so that's how we're going to start our seamless pattern the other thing you're going to want to do is in order for them to match you're want to make sure that they are aligned bottom which they are otherwise this image would be uh or this selection would be highlighted so they're already aligned with one another now we know that if this thing were to wrap these two would match now in order to make a seamless p pattern it not only has to wrap on the sides but it also has to wrap on the top and the bottom so let's start creating some of our wrapped trees for the top and the bottom so we're going to put one of them here again do you see the purple line at the top here now you know you you've got the bottom half of the tree right in the center right in half I'm going to hold the ALT key and I'm going to drag it down below and I'm going to put the top half on the bottom again I'm looking for that purple line there it is so now I have top bottom and I want to hold the shift key select them both align left and right so I want to make sure that they are perfectly vertical with one another and on Center so here because the Align left align Center none of these options are highlighted it means there're are already in line with each other now we're going to pick another tree and do that right here I'm going to put four across the top so there we are hold the ALT key drag it down and there it is at the bottom again I'm going to make sure they're aligned and because they weren't selected they're good to go I'm going to choose the next tree alt drag it down I'm going to set this one off a little so that you can see I'm going to hit the shift key select them both and again I'm going to say align left now we know we've got them exactly aligned with each other and then I'm going to move them over a little yeah and then our last tree I'm going to put this one up here there we are all right and now I'm going to put some right in the middle so this is just going to be a bunch of Christmas trees now if I were to wrap this it's going to be a little bit boring because there's going to be a lot of white space here so I'm going to add some elements to kind of keep it interesting so I'm going to throw in this little present and these things are just going to be fillers and a star going to go ahead and convert that to Black now I'm going to go ahead and just fill in all the white space with different size presents and stars just to kind of keep uh a seamless pattern make it look like it's random but filling in some of that space now as I finish up the little adding the filler in here I do want to think about all right let me look at this right side if it matches over here with the left side what are these stars and the presents going to look like as they wrap together so I think I'm gonna bring this together because there's a present on this side I'm gonna again I'm just holding the ALT key and it'll replicate my image put a star here and now I think that looks pretty good I see now these two persons are going to be side by side let me add a little star over here now this looks great so the next step we're going to do is we now have a seamless pattern if we match them left to right or top to bottom everything is going to line up perfectly so our next step and this is where it gets pretty cool is we're going to export this from canva I'm going to export it as a PNG so we're going to download PNG transparent background hit download it's doing its thing we're going to go over here to uploads and we're going to upload this image oh that's not what we're doing we're going to just hit upload files and here's the one we just did now I'm going to add another page to this design file and then I'm going to import our image this is what we just created so that looks great now we're going to duplicate it I'm going to show you how this is going to wrap so we're going to resize our image and make sure it is just one fourth of the page so again we're looking for those purple lines here you can see I've got the center purple line and it's going to be the same for horizontally it's perfectly in that top left quadrant now I'm going to hold the ALT key and I'm going to duplicate our image and look at that it matches up perfectly now I'm going to select shift select both of these hold the ALT key and now look oh wait a minute so this is great example for you you can see here I must not have had this one lined up perfectly because my tree looks a little wonky but what we can do is we'll just delete these and we're going to go back and fix it and reimport so this one and this [Music] one align left they were not aligned with one another and now I'm just going to group them that'll make things easier I have already grouped these let me just make sure this is half and half again looks good looks good they're aligned so I'm going to go ahead and group them now I have grouped everything else already the other thing I was going to share is now that they are grouped if you move them left and right you're still going to have your seamless pattern so however far right I move this one this one will also shift right and they will still wrap at the same point so they don't have to stay half and half on the wrap now they can be off centered so you may have a design where you want to offc center it but as long as you now have them grouped and they're grouped together you can move them left and right together and they will shift and always still come together with a perfect wrap so let's do our export again PNG transparent download and exported as a zip file so I'm going to unzip it and hit refresh there it is 21 and we're using page one CU I haven't created page two yet there's our image we're going to go over to page two here slide this over and now we're going to show you how this can wrap again so we're going to put this in the top left quadrant make sure that you're getting at least one of the purple lines there it is left and right again I'm going to hold I'm going to hold the ALT key and I'm going to duplicate it and then I'm going to hold shift select both of them the ALT key to duplicate and yay look at that we finally have a seamless wrap pattern so look at how you can duplicate one image that's kind of spaced out a little bit sparse full enough but look how you now can duplicate it and make it a full wrap tumbler now again as this wraps you'll be able to uh match both sides and on a tumbler tops and bottoms won't really matter but if you wanted to do this one more time you can do this again and Export this image let's show you real quick we'll export it one more time 22 we're going to go over here and upload our files extract all it prompts you with this little thing here so we're going to hit extract there it is we're going to open 22 open p need to now because we're going to duplicate this one so you can see this was our first image this is our second image add a page it's coming into the same size as the others I'm going to put this image on our screen top left quadrant make sure it's exactly half again ALT key ALT key and now you've wrapped it again again so this is now eight images on one so there is our original here is our duplicated four times and here it is duplicated eight times isn't that so cool I love this I love this option and I think this is great if someone gives you their custom artwork you're now able to create a seamless wrap tumbler with their artwork and not everybody can do that step three time to to engrave we only have one red cup so we need a stunt cup just to make sure that our seam actually lines up without ruining our cup we wrap this tumbler in the painters tape we're going to run it around and make sure the seam looks seamless you won't even be able to tell before we run our one rud cup through now this is an old Cup this is a cup that's got a messed up image on it we just keep using it over and over again we'll put fresh tape on it we'll do with test image especially if we're creating a new design like we did today we'll do a quick test and we make sure everything looks good and that way I can use it as a test cap over and over again it that this cup has seen some things [Music] so we've completed our test cup and I can see that my image doesn't meet by the tiniest sliver so I am going to increase the length by 0.16 So currently I have it at 10.87 I'm going to change it to 10.8 86 so just a little bit to push it together and I'm only using that amount because Garrett had run a tumbler a couple of weeks ago and that's the setting he used and it came out perfect so I'm just going to lengthen my image a little bit and now I'm confident we can run it on the red Tumblr so [Music] confident the Tumblr turned out great I can't even find the seam Kim did a great job great job Kim I love this seamless pattern trick in canva I think it is super cool and you don't have to just use this on tumblers you can use this in sublimation you can put this on lots of different things uh bags and towels and totes and t-shirts oh you can upload this to something like Amazon merch on demand or printful and then you can print it on things like popsockets and phone cases there's just lots of different uses for this so if you're making some custom design with somebody's logo you can do all kinds of products and I love doing this stuff in canva we just did a whole series of canva videos on how to create your brand profile in canva how to create promotional materials like postcards and flyers there's lots of different things you can do
