Creating custom backsplash tiles

Does anyone have any tips on how to make custom backsplash tiles? I'm trying to create this tile, I've used the screen capture tool but no matter how I capture it, the scale and sizing is off. I've tried modifying the textures, scale, offset etc. and I'm not having any luck.

That tile picture probably won't look very good unless you first edit it in an image editor (like photoshop).  The pattern doesn't repeat correctly and it doesn't have even shading which is going to show a subtle seam.  You might be able to make it look a lot better by just cropping the top/bottom so it at least repeats better.

 

You might also want to look for something in the material libraries that looks close enough.

 

Not sure if you can make one using the new "material builder" but it might be worth looking into.

 

Here are some videos that might help:
