Smaller sizes are suitable for caps, front chest areas of jackets, or smaller bags, while larger sizes are better for back panels of jackets, the main panel of a backpack, or statement placements on vests.

How to Use and Apply the Iron-On Patch
The patch is designed for straightforward iron-on application to most garments and accessories that can withstand high heat. For the best results, follow these general steps:
- Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting suitable for cotton or similar sturdy fabrics. Turn off any steam function.
- Position the embroidered skeleton hand floral patch on the desired area with the adhesive side down against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth, such as a cotton pressing cloth or pillowcase, to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure and avoiding sliding.
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and press the reverse side of the fabric directly behind the patch for an additional 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Allow the garment and patch to cool completely before handling or wearing.
Recommended Sewing for Extra Security
For garments or accessories that will experience frequent movement or washing, it is recommended to sew around the edges of the patch after ironing it in place. A simple straight stitch or zigzag stitch around the border of the skeleton hand floral patch can provide added durability, especially on items like backpacks, denim jackets, or heavy hoodies.

For delicate materials, synthetic fabrics with low heat tolerance, or leather surfaces, sewing the patch on instead of using high-heat ironing is recommended. Always test a small inconspicuous area of the fabric if uncertain about heat resistance.
Care Instructions and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before machine washing to reduce friction on the patch.
- Use a gentle wash cycle with cold or warm water, depending on garment care requirements.
- Avoid harsh bleach or strong chemical cleaners directly on the embroidered area.
- Line drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended to help maintain the adhesive bond.
- If any edge begins to lift over time, reapply heat with a cloth barrier or reinforce by sewing.
What Is Included
- One custom embroidered skeleton hand floral patch with gothic butterfly rose design
- Iron-on backing pre-applied to the patch for heat-activated attachment
