Wavy border

[hcahrles7@yahoo.com]

Can anyone help me figure out how to create this wavy border. I tried the usual zig-zag method, but it doesn't create the "thick/thin" effect I'm looking for.

Using a custom calligraphic brush is one way to achieve it. Possibly combined with Zig Zag.

The Width Tool will help you, or you could create a second fill of the shape with a transform to be larger and an offset to be slightly out of sync with the front fill.

As mentioned Kurt Zizgzag Effect can do that. Just create a rectangle and use Zig Zag panel settings to create your artwork. Do not forget to expand abject if you want to separate it from rectangle.

Use duplicate zig-zag paths, slightly scale down and adjust position of the top one, adjust stroke weight and alignment on both paths.
