Step 1. Create a new transparent document any size you want. I used 450x150

Step 2. Find a render and resize it to your liking by pressing CTRL+T hold shift and at the bottom right drag it back to how much you want it.

Step 3. Duplicate your layer

Step 4. Select your normal layer:

Then make a selection like this:

After doing so press CTRL+T and drag it sideways and youll end up with something like this:

Step 5. Duplicate the stretched layer and turn the blending mode to Linear Light

Step 6. Once again duplicate the layer but this time go to Filter>Distort>Wave and click randomize a few times. After doing so set the blending mode to overlay and lower the opacity to 39%

Step 7. Duplicate the WAVE layer and go to Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical

Now you should have something sort of like this:

Step 14. Now zoom in 16000% and get out your pencil tool 1px and make a small black dot in the center.

Step 15. Go to Edit>Define Pattern and name it anything you like.

Step 16. Go back to your sig select that new layer you made a while ago and go to Edit>Fill and in the "Use" dropdown find "Pattern" then find the pattern you made a while ago and press OK.

Now you should have something like this:
