Pattern Ideas

But you might wonder how you use a pattern collection. What are patterns for exactly?

Ever since I took the Immersion Surface Pattern Design Course by Bonnie Christine a few months ago, I see patterns everywhere. Seriously, inside my brain, it feels a little like one of those big popcorn machines you see when you’re at the fair. Pop, Pop, Pop.

Let me show you what I mean. I’ll use my pattern collection as an example. 

Gift Packaging

My first design love is packaging and gift wrap … anything that creates an extra special gift and makes someone’s face light up. So, I dream up wrapping paper

… and gift boxes.

Scrapbooking

But it doesn’t stop there. What about all things scrapbooking? That would be fun. 

So, I picture patterns on washi tape … and decorative paper

… and use illustrations on matching rubber stamps or stickers. 

Fabric & Home Decor

Then, I looked around my house. What about fabric? 

Now, it’s throw pillows

… or placemats … with matching napkins

Tropical Party and Sweet Pineapple Patterns

… and don’t forget tea towels.

Oh! and what about …

To-go cups with patterns from the Pineapple Collection

Yeah … the options are endless.

Are you having fun thinking about all of the ideas? What can you picture these patterns all over? Put your ideas in the comments for everyone to enjoy.

Now, take a moment to notice the patterns around you … they are everywhere making things cheerful.
