The first thing we'll need to do is create a new image              approximately 125 pixels in length and width.

   2 A square should have been created. Next press "K" or press the paint bucket tool which is identical to the button to the right of this paragraph. This tool will fill the background of the square made in the last step with the foreground color. The foreground color is the color that is circled in red. By doube clicking on the foreground color you can redefine it to a color of your choice. If you can't find the window containing the foreground color then go to window/showtools. The window should come up and you should see something identical to the screenshot on the right.         bucket.gif (2792 bytes)

So now I'm making the assumption that you have a 125X125 square containing a background color of your choice. Okay now comes the fun part. Open filter/artistic/spongesettingssponge.gif (10275 bytes)

Press okay and you'll have a neat texture. Play around with some of the other filters in the "artistic category and you can make some pretty cool textures like the ones below:
