In this tutorial I would like to show you how to create a cross stitch effect using Adobe Illustrator.

In this tutorial I would like to show you how to create a cross stitch effect using Adobe Illustrator. We simply make use of the grid, the Pattern Tool and the “Snap to Grid” and with the help of a cute little reindeer sketch, we’ll have in no time a wonderful Christmas Cross Stitch Effect Reindeer herd running across the page 🙂

With Christmas fast approaching, you could use this cross stitch effect to create your own little designs and turn them into cards, notes or desktop wallpapers.

Enjoy!
