Place tow black squares as I have by clicking with the Pencil Tool in those two spots. Set the foreground and background colors to their default black and white by hitting the letter “D”. Grab the Pencil Tool (B) and set the size to 1px. You will be left with the transparent background. Create a new Layer, Layer>New>Layer, and drag the “Background” Layer and drop it on the trash can at the bottom of the Layers panel to get rid of it. Hit Cmd/Ctrl + 0 (zero) to zoom that document all the way in to the maximum size for easy viewing. To do this, we first need to create a pattern. We also need to add some texture to this icon to really start to give it a fabric feel something that would definitely be stitched. Check out the screenshot below and carefully follow the settings that I have. To add a little more shape to our icon we’re going to use a Bevel and Emboss Layer Style. Go ahead and use the settings that I have in the screenshot below. The next thing we’ll do is add an Inner Shadow and change the expected black to a white so this “shadow” will act more like a nice highlight across the top of our icon. Use the settings I have in the screenshot below. Let’s start with a nice Drop Shadow by going Layer>Layer Style>Drop Shadow. Look to your Layers panel and double click the thumbnail of our new Shape Layer and fill it with the color: #81bee9 Hold down your Shift key and drag out a small circle into the center of your document like I have. NOTE: If you are using an older version of Photoshop you will want to use the icon on the far left of this bar to create a Shape Layer.
Check out the screenshot to see what the Tool Control bar looks like. Grab your Ellipse Tool (U) and set it to draw a Shape. I’ve dropped in a background and am ready to start creating these icons. I am starting with a document sized 1280 pixels by 720 pixels.
