Draw Wreaths in Illustrator Two Ways - Paired and Alternating Leaves
See how to easily draw wreaths in Illustrator. You will learn to make two styles of wreaths - one is where the leaves are paired either side of the stem and the other is where the leaves alternate each side of the stem.
The leaves for the wreath are created as a reusable Illustrator brush so, once made, you can use them any time you like. The brushes are created so they can be easily recolored too.
Even if you don't have a lot of experience in Illustrator this tutorial will be easy for you to follow along and reproduce your own wreaths.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. That's exactly what I need right now. Other tutorials are just to much and confusing. I worked with cs6 years ago and I decided to learn it again - fundamental. Great value. Thank you Helen!!! (And it works well for cs6 aswell.)

Thanks so much for this tutorial. This is yet another example of how powerful that distort and transform transform feature is. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think by choosing stretch to fit stroke length in the brush options panel you can make the wreath at any size and it will maintain its proportions. I have no idea why clicking on a path with the pen tool reverses the order; I'll just commit that to memory. I will definitely be using this for one of my projects.

@HelenBradley 9 жыл бұрын

+Morgan Field Great news Morgan. Yes, stretch to fit stroke length works best for this type of brush in terms of ensuring that it sizes with the stroke. That reverse path thing is really handy to know - I found another use for it the other day. I guess too what is important is that paths have direction and that direction is important in some situations.

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I was able to create the leaves as an art brush, but once I tried to apply it to the wreath, it leaves a fill in the middle of the circle (so that the middle of the circle is black with leaves on the outside of the circle). Do you happen to have any idea why? I can't seem to figure out what step I missed.

@HelenBradley 8 жыл бұрын

+Rana Yamak Hey Rana, if you select your shape and then set its Fill to No Fill you will remove the fill in the shape. It's just that shapes with art brushes added to them shouldn't have any fill. If you do this, the wreath should work just fine. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Helen - Thanks for the great tutorial. Will please tell me how, in the transform dialogue box, to set pixels (px) as my preferred movement increments instead of inches (in).

@HelenBradley 6 жыл бұрын

You can change units of measure using the Preferences panel (Edit > Preferences > Units on a PC and Illustrator > Preferences > Units 10 pxon a Mac) but this changes preferences for everything. If you only want to do it for a single setting, then type, say: 10 px and Illustrator will convert it to the equivalent of 10 px in your current units.

@Imustfly 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I knew I could do it in the preferences, and wound up doing exactly that, but I seemed to remember being able to do it, as you said, for just a single example,...just couldn't figure it out. Thanks again, keep the vids coming !

not sure why, but my leaves get distorted once in a wreath shape

@kasiabfranc9439 4 жыл бұрын

can you please advice?

@HelenBradley 4 жыл бұрын

Anytime you use a pattern brush on a line that is not straight you will get some distortion of the shapes - in this case the leaves. It's a side effect of the process of bending the shapes around a curve. If you don't want to have distortion, you will need to approach the solution a different way. Right now I am thinking you'd need to use the Distort and Transform effect as that wouldn't distort the shape as it moves and resizes it.
