Iron-On Patches
Patch it your way! Iron on, mix & match, make it yours – and turn everyday basics into unique favorites. Our iron-on patches make it easy to personalize clothing, bags and accessories. Whether you’re adding a little statement, a creative detail or giving an old favorite a fresh new look – simply pick your patch, iron it on and add your own personal touch.
Wash and dry your fabric beforehand; it’s best to use 100% cotton fabric.
Carefully peel the patches off the adhesive backing on the packaging. If there are any adhesive residues left on a patch, simply iron them off.
Place your chosen patch onto the fabric. Lay a dish towel (unfolded) on top of it.
Set your iron to setting 3 without steam and let it warm up briefly. Now iron over the dish towel and the patch, applying pressure for 60 seconds. Remove the iron and dish towel and leave the patch to cool for 30 minutes without moving it.
Turn your garment over (turn clothes inside out).
Repeat the ironing process with the dish towel on the underside for another 60 seconds, applying firm pressure. Leave it to cool for another 30 minutes.
Hooray – you’re done! Your textile is now ready to wear and can be washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 40 degrees. If anything comes loose, it can be ironed back on or sewn back on.
