How to Make a Diamond Tuft Background
The procedure to create a diamond tuft background varies with the medium in which you want the background to appear. For a Web page, use HTML programming to make the background. Use a Windows utility to make diamond tuft appear on your Windows desktop. If you want to create a tuft background for a photo, use an imaging program. To create a diamond tuft image from scratch, use a 3-D modeling program such as Blender, AutoCAD, or Art of Illusion. You can increase the chances your tuft background will be effective by using an imaging program's selection tools to isolate and remove any non-tuft imagery from the tuft's image file.
