Create an iron-on patch in 5 easy steps 🔥

1. Draw your iron-on patch template 🎨

First, trace your pattern onto the fabric using an erasable pencil. This will allow you to easily correct any changes if necessary.

2. Customize your homemade patch

Next, embroider your design or use fabric markers to color your motif. Take your time to achieve a precise and aesthetically pleasing result.

3. Apply the iron-on adhesive to the back

Next, cut out a piece of iron-on adhesive sheet that fits your patch. Attach it to the back of the fabric, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Cut your patch precisely ✂️

Finally, carefully cut around your design. This will give your patch a nice, clean finish.

5. Attach the iron-on patch to your garment 🚀

Position your patch, protect it with a thin cloth, and iron without steam for 20 to 30 seconds. This will ensure your patch stays firmly in place!

Tips for fixing your iron-on patch permanently 🧼

To keep your patch in place for a long time:

• Wash your garment inside out to protect the patch.
• Use gentle cycles and avoid the dryer.
• Iron your patch after several washes to reactivate the glue if necessary.
