Materials and Construction
- Base fabric: Durable woven or twill fabric designed to support dense embroidery
- Embroidery thread: Polyester or rayon embroidery threads chosen for color vibrancy, resistance to fading, and abrasion resistance
- Backing: Heat-activated iron-on adhesive for secure attachment to most fabrics
- Edges: Clean, overlocked or merrowed border (depending on design size) to help prevent fraying and maintain shape
- Stitch density: High stitch count for crisp outlines, clear details in the bones, stars, and moth wings
The combination of thick base fabric and dense embroidery creates a patch that holds its form well and sits neatly on jackets, backpacks, and other items without sagging.

How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
Follow these steps to attach the skeleton hand celestial patch using the iron-on backing:
- Preheat your iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off any steam setting.
- Ensure the surface of the garment or bag is clean, dry, and wrinkle-free.
- Place the patch in the desired position with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the area to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out (if possible) and press the back side of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Let the patch and garment cool completely before wearing or using.
For Maximum Durability
- After ironing, sewing the edges of the patch is recommended, especially on items that will be washed frequently or experience heavy use.
- You can use a sewing machine or hand-stitch along the border of the patch with matching or contrasting thread.
