Cool instructable! :) FYI, A lot of sources recommend that you use powers of two, e.g. 256, 512 or1024, for textures, especially if they're going into a game.

Also, this method will result in very obvious repeating patterns especially when using a small tile size tile over a large area, which may or may not be what you want:
