Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut a piece of fabric about the size you want them patch to be

Paint on the fabric :) make sure to let completely dry, then heat set it (iron it for 15-30 minutes, or toss it in the drier for about 30 minutes)

Cut to size and pin down, account for space to sew in

Sew into the piece of clothing you want! By hand is alright, I recommend a strong floss, and machine is okay too

Knot your work and BAM patch :)
