Gimp is such an amazing program... I am so grateful for all the people who have made it possible... Anyway I thought I'd share an easy technique for creating a ric rac border in Gimp.
1. Open a new document.
2. Make a new transparent layer.
3. Choose the rectangle selection tool and make a narrow strip
4. Fill it with your color of choice.
5. Go to menu > select> none.
6. Next go to menu> filters> distorts> ripple. Select vertical for orientation and set the period parameter to about 30.
7. To give it some texture- from the menu select filters> artistic> apply canvas (I set the depth to 3).
8.You can also apply a drop shadow effect. Filters> light and shadow> drop shadow (I put a 2 in each of the parameter boxes.)
