We harness instabilities and viscoelasticity to tune wavy patterns in soft layered composites. Through experiments on 3D printed soft laminates, and through numerical simulations, we demonstrate the existence of various instability-induced wavy patterns corresponding to identical deformed states of identical soft composites.
