How to Iron on Patches in 4 Steps
Whether your aesthetics lean toward military chic, crossover vintage, or just about anything in between, patch-decorated clothing is back. This retro trend has been spotted on It girls and has dominated the trend cycle for the last few seasons. Of course, knowing how to iron on patches yourself can save you from the price tag of high-end designs while offering the satisfaction of creating something truly unique. To get started, grab your favorite jacket, jeans, or handbag and follow these four simple tips on how to iron on patches. This DIY project is one you should definitely try at home.
To properly affix a patch, be sure to turn up your iron to the highest heat setting. Before you get started, make sure your fabric is a match. Iron-on patches work best with materials like cotton and polyester but can seriously damage fabrics like nylon, rayon, or rain-jacket material.
2. Position the Patch
It’s important to choose the perfect position for your patch. Skipping this step can result in your hard work going to waste. If you’re centering the patch, use a measuring tape to ensure it’s in the right spot. For sleeves and lapels, consider pinning the patch in place and checking yourself in the mirror to make sure the patch is upright and in a position you like.
