This custom embroidered skeleton holding flower patch features a detailed skull grasping a yellow flower, creating a strong contrast between life and death.

Design and Aesthetic
- Detailed skeleton and skull artwork with clear linework
- Yellow flower held by the skeleton, symbolizing life, renewal, and contrast with death
- Gothic and alternative aesthetic suitable for punk, biker, rock, metal, and dark art styles
- High-contrast embroidery that stands out on denim, black fabric, leather-like materials, and canvas
Materials and Construction Quality
- Base fabric: Durable woven backing designed to maintain shape and resist fraying with proper application
- Embroidery thread: Colorfast polyester or similar thread for strong color saturation and resistance to fading under normal wear
- Backing type: Iron-on adhesive backing for heat application on most cotton and cotton-blend fabrics
- Edge finish: Overlocked or merrow-style embroidered border for clean edges and reduced risk of unraveling
- Sturdy construction intended for frequent use on jackets, bags, vests, and everyday garments
Dimensions and Size Range
The skeleton holding flower patch is available in multiple approximate sizes to suit different placement needs and garment types. Specific size may vary depending on the selected design style and variant.
- Approximate size range: 3 inches to 10 inches on the longest side
- Smaller sizes (around 3–4 inches) are suitable for hats, chest placement, and smaller bags
- Medium sizes (around 5–7 inches) work well for jacket sleeves, backpack fronts, and vest panels
- Larger sizes (around 8–10 inches) are suited for jacket back panels and statement pieces
How to Use the Iron-On Patch
This skull and flower patch is designed for standard iron-on application on most flat, heat-resistant fabrics. Follow these general steps for use:
- Place the garment or fabric item on a flat, heat-safe surface
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting appropriate for the garment (typically cotton or high heat), with no steam
- Position the skeleton flower patch in the desired spot with the adhesive side down against the fabric
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery
- Press firmly with the iron for about 15–30 seconds, applying consistent pressure over the entire patch area
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and press the reverse side of the patch area for additional 15–30 seconds to reinforce the bond
- Allow the item to cool completely before handling or wearing
For fabrics that do not tolerate high heat or for items that will receive heavy use, sewing the patch around the edges after ironing can improve long-term durability.
