With a Selection tool, click-and-drag a selection around all of the stars. Open the Brushes palette (Windows>Brushes). Next, we’ll use this design to create a custom brush. Press Cmd-D (PC: Ctrl-D) a few times to create a line of stars. Once you have two stars on the Artboard, press Cmd-D (PC: Ctrl-D) to repeat the same effect to the new object, therefore creating a third object off to the side, rotated a bit more and a little smaller. This creates a duplicate object so the original is not deleted. Try following these setting for this tutorial.
Keep the numbers in the Scale option the same if you want the scale to be the same. Rotate allows you to rotate the object to a specified angle. The Scale options allow you to resize the object to a certain percentage of the original and the Move options allow you to change the position of the object on the Artboard. With the star still selected after drawing it, go to Object>Transform>Transform Each. Holding down Shift to keep a correct proportion, click-and-drag to create a star.
Click-and-hold on the Rectangle tool to bring out the other options, including the Star tool. I set the art board size to Letter but yours can vary. Open a new document in Adobe Illustrator. The Transform Each command, when repeated with the Transform Again command, can create some unique designs and patterns, and even custom brushes, as we’ll see here.
