A Step-by-Step Guide to Iron on a Patch on a Backpack

Step 1: Gather the Material
What You’ll Need:
- Iron
- Ironing board or towel
- Backpack
- Patch
- Scissors (optional)
- Tape (optional)
Step 2: Iron the Patch
Next, Iron the patch.
If your patch has a sticky backing, you can skip this step. Otherwise, set your iron to medium heat and Iron the patch for about 30 seconds. This will help the adhesive on the back of the patch to stick better.
Step 3: Place the Patch on the Backpack
Now it’s time to place the patch on the backpack. If you’re using an Iron-on patch, position the patch where you want it on the backpack and then Iron it on for about 30 seconds.
If you’re using a sticky-backed patch, simply peel off the backing and stick it on.
Step 4: Check the Patch:
Once the cover is off, carefully inspect the patch on your fabric. It should stick to you all of its length without any ends turning up or hanging loose!
If it doesn’t look good enough for now – put it back onto a sewing machine and repeat about another 30 seconds with circular motions this time around instead (or just go ahead).
Step 5: Let It Cool
Once you’ve Ironed on the patch, let it cool for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 6: Sew It On (Optional)
If you want to make sure your patch is extra secure, you can sew it on. This step is optional, but if you’re worried about your patch coming off, it’s a good idea. Simply use a needle and thread to sew around the edge of the patch.
Step 7: Iron It Again (Optional)
If you want to be extra sure your patch will stay put, you can Iron it on again. Just set your Iron to low heat and iron over the patch for about 30 seconds. This step is totally optional, but it can’t hurt!
Washing Tips
- To keep your backpack looking its best, we recommend spot-cleaning it with a damp cloth.
- If you need to wash your backpack, Iron-on patches can be washed on a gentle cycle.
- Make sure to Iron them again after washing to reactivate the adhesive.
