Online Pattern Generators
Need a seamless pattern quickly for a project? Check out these pattern generators which allow you to create your own patterns:
1. Colourlovers – choose a pattern and five colours to be included in the pattern and a seamless pattern is created.
2. Tartan Maker – Choose band size, three colours, orientation and yarn size. This is fun to use and creates great looking tartan.
3. Stripe Generator – decide on stripe size, spacing, stripe colours, background style, shadow, background colour and stripe orientation.
4. Stripemania – Similar options to Stripe Generator but for some reason I find it more difficult to set the colours in this one. Maybe it is a Firefox browser issue. It also has the option to set gradient stripes which may be a useful feature.
5. BgPatterns – Set the foreground and background colours, the canvas texture, image, image scale and rotation. This is a useful generator but I would like to see more patterns than there are at the moment.
The patterns created by these generators have many uses. They would also make great elements in scrapbooking projects. Check the terms of use of each one before use.
