Set the Canvas size
In order to create any background on Photoshop, you need to create a canvas in Photoshop, upon which you would be designing it. Select the size that you see fit for the background you are designing. If you have a large sized background then you can zoom in to observe the pattern closely of the document. -

Create a New Layer
Create a new layer using the tool box. The newly created layer would appear in a box on the left side of the main canvas. Next, you will need to create yourself another layer upon which you would design the background. Press ‘Ctrl+N’ in order to create a new layer quickly. You can also name the layer if you feel the need to, just left-click on the layer twice, and rename as per your preferences. -

Use the Toolbox to Create a Rectangle
Click on the rectangle tool from your toolbox. Use that tool to draw a box over the canvas in such a way that you cover it entirely by dragging the mouse all over the layer. The rectangle is going to serve as your background which you will be designing later on. -
