Research famous patterns used for fashion and interiors. Creating a seamless repeat pattern by hand You will need:

Paper (you can use coloured paper!)

Your chosen images

Scissors

Tape

Pencil Fold the paper to make a square.

Cut off the excess.

(If your paper is square already, you can skip this step!) Open up your square.

Now you need to create your pattern block!

Use your images to fill in the square. Use your mood board to help to design your pattern block.

This works best if they are coloured in.

You could also use coloured paper. Now fold your paper in half As ACCURATELY as possible cut your vertically. block as shown above. This needs to be as neat and straight as possible! Unfold and fold in half horizontally. Okay, now the tricky bit…. I have labelled my squares with numbers to show you what to do..

You need to swap the squares on the right (2 and 4) with the squares on the left (1 and 3).

So you will see on the second image that our ice cream is on the edges and no longer in the middle. Now you need to swap the squares at the top (2 and 1) with the squares at the bottom (4 and 3).

You will see on the second image that the pieces of the ice cream are all on the edges now. On the back using tape stick the pieces back together as accurately as you can. Make sure there are no gaps as this will show up in your design.

You will be left with a pattern block. Now go back and fill in any white gaps with more icons. You can see I have added my highlighter and a watering can!

Your design is now ready to repeat! Now you need to get your design into the computer, I used the app ‘Adobe scan’.

However you could take a picture but you need to make sure it’s completely flat on a flat surface.

Use the crop tool to make your design a perfect square or as close as possible! Paste your design into a google slides document (or powerpoint). Now you need to copy and paste your design. (Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl +V to paste). Place it next to your first ‘tile’ keep copying and pasting until you have made a repeat pattern!

This was my first ‘test pattern’ - you can see I wasn’t as accurate when I took a picture so you can see my table in the background. If yours looks like this, try using the cropping tool! But as long as you have demonstrated the technique - well done you! Look at Andy Warhol’s repeat pattern of Marilyn Monroe. Consider the other ways he could have created a repeat pattern.
