This is our time saving trick to create patterns with custom brushes in GIMP.

This is a great tool for quickly making simple, non-repeating patterns using GIMP.

• Create two new images using Ctrl+N (1x pattern, 1x image/motif)
• Set the size and resolution with 150ppi, or 150 dpi
• Choose a background color for your pattern
• Copy your motif to the clipboard using Ctrl+C, and  use this image as your paintbrush
• Fill the surface of your pattern with this image
• Move the image to a new position on the X and Y axes to bring the borders to the center and again fill in the center of the image with the paintbrush
