1 – Create a small-scale design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"drawing<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pick up your personalised notebook<\/a> and create a drawing with your kids that reminds them of their best summer memories, whether that\u2019s the happy sunflowers, pink lemonade and popsicles from your garden picnic or the giant pool floats on the beach. Then color your artwork using markers, pencils or crayons. For the best results, leave the background white and try not to let any of your drawings go off the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Turn your design into a seamless repeat pattern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re not using stock photos from Canva\u2019s library, you can create a basic or seamless pattern. Scan or snap a photo of your drawing to take it off the paper and onto the screen. If you\u2019re working from your trusty iPad, there are many ways you can create, edit and enhance your images with Pixelmator, Procreate or Adobe Sketch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
