A matrix for fabric includes engaging portions and decorating portions. The engaging portions are disposed over a surface area of the fabric. The decorating portions are installed at the engaging portions. The decorating portions form letters or patterns on the specific surface area of the fabric. The engaging portions may be aligned so as to form a lattice. Eyes of the lattice may be triangular, rectangular, or hexagonal. Each of the engaging portions may have a hole through the fabric. The engaging portions may include eyelets, each of which being fixed to the hole at an external perimeter of the eyelet.

A pattern tile set is provided having a first tile and a second tile. The first tile comprises of a first tile portion defined by an arcuate shape with a second portion defining a background. The arcuate shape has a first color tone and the second portion has a second color tone. A second tile which is the negative of the first tile has an arcuate shape of the same size and shape as the arcuate portion of the first tile and a color tone identical to the background of the first tile. The back ground of the second tile has a color tone identical to the arcuate profile of the first tile.

A method of fabricating a decoration formed of an embossed envelope the internal surface of which includes at least one attachment adapted for fixing the decoration.

A method of forming an aesthetic surface on a concrete structure. The aesthetic surface includes a mosaic design including a plurality of aesthetic elements, such as tiles, aggregate or the like, which are embedded within the hardened concrete structure. The aesthetic elements are affixed to the concrete form in the arrangement corresponding to the mosaic design prior to using the form during construction of the concrete structure. The concrete is poured into the form and allowed to harden, after which, the forms are stripped from the concrete, thereby exposing the embedded aesthetic elements within the concrete structure.

An apparatus for holding beads in a pattern has a beading board having a base with a bottom side and a top side. A plurality of posts project out from the top side of the base and are configured to extend through holes in beads to hold the beads in lateral position relative to each other. The apparatus has a perforated panel having perforations that are larger in width than the posts, and the perforated panel is configured to be removably placed on the beading board with the posts extending through the perforations. The perforated panel slides along the posts and sliding of the perforated causes beads placed on the posts to slide vertically along the length of the posts.

The present disclosure relates to a template and a related method for the application of inserts in the form of letters, numbers or symbols on leather, fabrics, cloth, or similar laminar products to customize them. The centering template comprises a main support body (101) having a centering system (106) to allow an engagement of the template (100) in pre-fixed position to a base (3a) of a press (3); and a centering element (102) configured to receive in pre-fixed position at least a laminar portion (103) of an accessory (104). The centering element (102) has a through seat (105) for the inserts (11) and it is movable with respect to the main support body (101) between an extracted resting position in which an upper surface (102a) of the centering element (102) is moved away from the main support body (101) and a working position in which the upper surface (102a) of the centering element (102) is approached to the main support body (101). The template allows the correct positioning of the characters on the accessory both in terms of alignment, and in terms of distance from the edges and from the other inserts of the accessory (handles, buckles, etc. . . . ) and regardless of the shape assumed by the laminar portion itself.

A dental appliance having an integrally formed reservoir and/or an ornamental design integrated thereon. The ornamental design can be selected or customized by a patient. The design can be created by directing energy to the dental appliance to alter a material property of at least a portion of the appliance to create the design. Alternatively, a groove or recess can be formed on a surface of the appliance to either mechanically retain an ornamental design or the groove or recess can be filled with ink to form the design. The appliance, including the integrally formed reservoir, can be formed using direct fabrication techniques.
