This Personalized Back To School Books With Apple & Pencil Patch is stitched onto cream felt & is perfect to add to your kids backpack, lunch pail, notebook, t shirt & more. The back of the patch has Heat n Bond on it so it is ready to add to your clothing, but if the item is to be washed - sewing would be the best method because the heat n bond is really only a temporary hold. To add to other types of crafts I would use a fabric glue like FABRI TAC or hot glue The Patch is approx. 4 x 4 inches. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS PATCH LARGER - PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR PRICING. IF YOU WANT TH IS FOR A BOY, I CAN CHANGE THE COLORS UP….message me. These items are made from smoke free home. Private Message me with any questions you may have. Please Note: this item has not been pre- washed. Please note each patch colors may slightly vary from pictures shown. PLEASE READ ON HOW TO ATTACHED: PLEASE BE SURE YOUR GARMENT CAN HANDLE THE HIGH HEAT BEFORE PROCEEDING. Before beginning remove the paper backing on the back of the patch. A: you will want to preheat your iron to hot cotton temperature (no steam) B: Place the embroidered patch where you want it on the garment. C: Cover the top with a thin cotton piece of fabric of some sorts (a sheet is perfect) D: Apply the iron to the top for about 8-10 seconds on each section. (reapply if necessary) - iron the back also. E: BE SURE TO ALSO STITCH AROUND THE EDGES OF THE PATCH TO PLACE ON NON CLOTHING A: Remove the outer paper protecting the heat n bond & add either hot glue or fabric glue to the back - then adhere to your project.PLEASE NOTE: if your purchasing a PATCH, the HEAT N BOND on the back is a very short term stick. I suggest either sewing around the edges OR applying some type of FABRIC GLUE to the back of the patch like FABRI TAC.
