Free – Torn paper brush set

A bumper set of 28 torn paper brushes both high and low res. Great when used as an eraser to distress your clean edged images.

You can use the small speckly brushes in the set to create your own torn edges. Here’s how..

• Set the foreground colour you would like
• Select one of the speckly brushes from the set
• Draw a custom shape with ‘Paths’ selected, not fill
• Right click on the path and selct ‘Fill path’ (use foreground colour)
• Right click on the path again and select ‘Stroke Path’ (select brush from the drop-down)
• Do this 2 or 3 times
• Using the direct selection tool (the black arrow) right click on the path, and select delete path

You should now have a fuzzy ‘torn paper’ edge to your shape.

Things to Do

The images is this set come from a 1970s craft book I found in a charity shop yesterday. It’s called 365 Games to make and play. Please read below before you download.

The book was written by Jac Remise, and published in 1975 by Octopus Books Limited, London. Be aware that you should not use these images for any commercial projects at all, and you should probably include a link to the author of the book and publisher when you use them. Use at your own risk!

Here’s the book.. it really is fantastic, although all the models in the book seem to require a cork. My son says i’m going to have to drink more wine…  I’ll try my best
