The best... steal.
Go look at some pictures of similar topics on google images, then figure out how to make your own impression of them.
I've never done it myself, excepting ebay auctions, but I'd suggest using something topic related as a backdrop, like a uniform jacket, or a blanket in that pattern. Then I'd start building geometric shapes with the items. As others have said, lines leading the eye into the frame, or out of it. Framing that suggests motion, or that helps to tell a story. What story are you telling? Is there a detail you want to highlight? Shoot some in natural light, others in off camera flash. Maybe strong, contrasty lighting.
Then shoot the piss out of it, and after a day to purge your head, go back and look at what you shot like you paid someone else to do it. What did they (you) do that you don't like? What did?
Then, refine the technique and do it again.
ART!
