Scatter - This is a pattern that utilizes multiple stone sizes. With this application you just apply the stones in a random scattered style. Honeycomb - This method uses 1 size stone to cover the area in honeycomb interlacing pattern. With this pattern if you have an object that has any curve or taper you will most likely need filler stones to fit in to the lines when they start spacing out. I would suggest getting filler stones that are 1-2 sizes down from your main stones. So if you are using all ss20 stones you should also get some ss16 or ss12 to fill in. If you are doing the honeycomb pattern in a skin straight tumbler or other object that stays the same diameter or size you most likely wont need any fillers.Linear - This patter is when you like up each stone like a grid. This sill leave a lot of gaps and room to see whatever is behind the stones so if you are using this pattern and you want the background to blend in more make sure to use paint the object the same color as the stones you are using. Contour - THis is where the stones are apples to the object anc are swirly or curnved as to accentuate the lines of the object being blinged. You can also do a contoour pattern with tracing vinyl shapes and continiung that shape thorugh the whole project.
