How to Make Seamless Repeating Patterns in GIMP
I'll show you how to make seamless repeating patterns in GIMP. I'm scanning a watercolor painting, editing the scan in GIMP, turning it into a repeating pattern also in GIMP and uploading it to my Redbubble shop.
I've made two similar videos before about making a repeating pattern in GIMP. This one differs from them in that the painting has a background so you have to do blending, but other than that, it's the same process.

INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------
To turn this into a repeating pattern, I go to layers, transform, offset... and click on the button that says offset by x/2, y/2. And click offset. Now you can see the edges between the repeated images. We have to blend those in so that the pattern looks seamless. I'm using the clone tool and making the brush size bigger and then choosing the area I want to clone by pressing down ctrl and clicking the part I want to copy. I'm also decreasing the opacity to make the blending smooth. And then I'm just painting over the harsh lines I want to blend out.
When I think I'm done with the clone stamping, I'm gonna fill out the empty area in the middle. I open another copy of the edited painting and cut out two eggs with the free select tool, I copy them by pressing ctrl C and go back to the repeating unit and paste them with ctrl V. I'm also using the rotate tool to turn them in different positions so they don't look too similar to the original eggs I copied. I also turn the eggs into new layers. I export the whole thing as a PNG to make sure the extra eggs are included in the image. To tile the repeating pattern, I'm going to filters, map, tile and increasing the width and height.
