Surface Pattern Design Basics: Design seamless repeating patterns in Canva

In this tutorial I'm going to teach you how to create a seamless repeating pattern using Canva. I'll guide you step-by-step through the process:
Choosing elements
Basic pattern techniques
Arranging pattern elements into a seamless repeat
Exporting and testing your pattern

This tutorial is ideal for learning the basics of surface pattern design, teaching you foundational pattern design concepts. With this skill, you'll be able to design patterns for:
Digital planners
Digital papers for bullet journaling
Scrapbooking papers
Transfer papers for polymer clay projects

Please note: If you want to sell your patterns please ensure you're using elements you've designed yourself, or elements purchased with the correct commercial license. As most print on demand sites require you to license your design to them, this is against Canva's permitted uses. Please see Canva's license conditions for more clarification: https://www.canva.com/help/licenses-c...
