I have always been inspired by street-style patched jackets and knew it would be a super easy DIY to recreate. So I recently got together for Macau CLOSER to recreate this trend using with all the mum badges/pins I’ve collected from Scouts events (joking!), complete with loads of fun iron-on patches with cute words and images.
I’ve outlined the steps below, but honestly, this is the easiest project around, so I doubt you’ll need detailed instructions!
What you need:
• A bunch of iron-on patches, pins and badges – you can easily find them from Etsy or get a personalised giftbox from 179CM & UP (links:179cmandup.com/blog-supplies/my-bf-plays-too-much-computer-games)
• Clothing to attach them to – something like a military jacket or a denim jacket works perfectly.
• An iron
How to make it:
1. Take some time placing and planning where you want your patches and pins to go. Place the patches on the jacket front (or shoulders of the jacket – or really anywhere you want!).
2. When you’re happy, iron the patches in place. With the iron on a low setting, iron the patches down. To be extra careful, you can put a piece of cloth between the two if you are worried about melting the patches. Leave them to cool down and you’re ready to go!
3. WEAR THEM! Your new customised jacket is pimped up with patches and pins!
P.S. You can hand stitch the edges of the patch over to the Jacket too.
