How to Add a Vertical Wave to Simple Text Patterns

Hi everyone! This tutorial will show you how to add a Vertical Wave background to simple text alpha patterns!

Here are a couple helpful tutorials on how to make a Vertical Wave bracelet/keychain:

Vertical Wave pattern on BraceletBook:
#15234

Find a complete alphabet pattern that you want as the font for your bracelet/keychain. Here are some examples! You can easily search for complete alphabet patterns in the database by using keywords like ‘font’ ‘alphabet’ ‘letters’.

*Note: I recommend using a bold font so it is a little easier to read since you are adding a slight complex background

Create your pattern with the font you want to use with the Alpha Pattern Generator. (I recommend having at least 2 rows above and below the text so it makes it easier to make the vertical wave).

For this example, I used letters from pattern #73691. So after my keychain is done, I can submit my photo to either pattern #73691 (font pattern) or pattern #15234 (Vertical Wave pattern)

*Please note that simple word patterns (even with a Vertical Wave background) will not be accepted. You can submit your photo of your bracelet/keychain to the complete alphabet pattern OR the Vertical Wave pattern (but not both)

*Remember that you can keep your custom pattern on your ‘Create patterns’ page just by saving it in the generator. You do not need to submit it to the site to be saved

Add a Vertical Wave background to your simple word pattern.

Now you can begin making your alpha bracelet/keychain! It is basically the same as making a simple Vertical Wave bracelet/keychain, but just adding text on top of it.

So in just a couple easy steps, that’s how to combine a Vertical Wave with a simple text alpha pattern!
