Materials You'll Need

Before you start, ensure you have the following materials:

  • Your favorite denim jacket

  • Press cloth
  • Needle and thread (for added security)

2. Position the Patch

Lay out your denim jacket flat on the ironing board. Position your chosen flag patch in the desired location. Be sure to check that it’s straight and centered.

3. Apply the Patch

Cover the patch with a press cloth to protect it and your denim. Set your iron to a medium-high setting without steam. Press down firmly on the patch with the iron for about 20-30 seconds.

4. Wait and Test

Let the patch cool for a few minutes. After cooling, check if the patch is securely attached. If it lifts at the edges, press again with the cloth and iron.

5. Optional: Sewing for Extra Security

For a more durable application, sew around the edges of the patch using a needle and thread that matches your patch color. This ensures the patch withstands regular wear and washing.

6. Consider Velcro for Versatility

For those who love to switch patches frequently, consider using a Velcro flag patch sticker. Easily change your patches to match your mood or destination.
