Creating a ruffle

Drawing ruffles is much easier when you have a ruffle brush, so let me show…you how to make one.…We're going to start with a line segment that is 25 points, and 260…degrees for the Angle. Click OK.…Because I know I'm going to do this later, I will do it now, so that I don't have…to select multiple paths later. I'm going to change this, and add the Profile,…but I want it going in the other direction, so we'll flip it.…And now I'm going to Reflect this, so click once on Reflect, Alt+Click a little…bit to the right, and Vertical > Copy.…

So, now I have what is going to become my ruffle.…We're going to connect the bottom later with a curve.…I also want to change these to round caps.…Now I need to duplicate this shape.…I need a total of three.…So, I'll select it, I'll hold down my Alt or Option key, and my Shift key, and…drag one over a little bit.…Then Ctrl+D to Duplicate, so I get a third.…We'll select all of them, and I need to lock them, so they don't move around on…me, and I can do that with the shortcut Ctrl+2. It's quite handy.…
