Iron On Clothes Patches - Iron on Patches for Customisation or Repair

Iron on patches for instant personalisation of your clothes. These patches can also be used to mend small holes and prolong the life of your favourite outfits. You can iron them or sew them onto anything. They look amazing on a PJ waffle set.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Check Your Fabric
Iron-on patches work best on cotton, denim, or similar fabrics. Avoid fabrics that can melt or scorch, like nylon, silk, or very stretchy materials.

2. Prepare Your Item

• Lay the item flat on the ironing board.

• Make sure the area is clean and free of dust, lint, or moisture.

• Iron the area first to warm it up slightly — this helps adhesion.

3. Position the Patch

• Place the patch with the adhesive side down (shiny/glue side touching the fabric).

• Double-check placement — once it’s fused, it’s hard to reposition.

4. Protect and Press

• Lay a thin cotton cloth or tea towel over the patch.

• Heat your iron to medium-high (cotton setting) with no steam.

• Press the iron down firmly for 10–15 seconds — don’t move it around.

5. Flip and Secure

• Turn the fabric inside out.

• Press the back of the patch area for another 10–15 seconds to secure the glue through the fabric.

6. Cool and Check

• Let the patch cool completely before handling.

• If any edges lift, repeat pressing for a few more seconds.

Tips for Best Results

• For heavy-use items (like kids’ clothes), sew around the patch edges after ironing for extra durability also ensure patches on small children's clothes are sewn on to prevent them being pulled off and put in their mouth.

• Wash items inside out in cold or warm water and avoid tumble drying to make the patch last longer.

• Test your iron heat on a small inconspicuous area first to make sure your fabric can handle it.
