Ideas for travel souvenirs
- Fridge magnets: stick a magnet on the back of the food patterns
- Keychains: leave a gap in a small pattern for a chain and hang it on your travel bag (<a href="/guide/keychain">how to make a keychain</a>)
- Photo frame decorations: add the patterns of the places you visited around your travel photos
- Coasters: the 29×29 Peranakan tile works as it is for cold drinks
- Gifts: make a pattern from a friend’s home country
Tips for neat results
- Place the outline first: lay one round of the brown or black outline, then fill in
- Work from the PDF for close colors: the yellows and oranges of the mango shaved ice and egg waffle sit close together, so check the color-coded PDF one row at a time
- White last: fill the white of the xiaolongbao or the rice of the nasi lemak after the colors around it
- Iron both sides: after ironing front and back, cool it under a heavy book so it stays flat
