How to Use as an Iron-On Patch
Before application, confirm that the fabric can tolerate high heat and is suitable for iron-on patches. Avoid delicate, heat-sensitive, or waterproof-coated materials.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting without steam.
- Place the garment or fabric item on a flat, heat-safe surface.
- Position the embroidered starfish patch on the desired area with the adhesive side facing the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure.
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and press again on the reverse side for added adhesion.
- Allow the area to cool completely before handling to let the adhesive set.
Optional Sewing for Extra Security
- For maximum durability, especially on items that will be washed frequently or used outdoors, it is recommended to sew around the edge of the patch after ironing.
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch with matching or clear thread, following the outer border of the patch.
- This combination of heat-activated adhesive and stitching helps keep the patch firmly attached over time.
How to Use as a Keychain
- Attach keys to the metal key ring or included hardware loop.
- Clip or loop the keychain onto bags, backpacks, belt loops, or zippers as a decorative charm.
- Use it as an identifier for luggage, gym bags, or travel cases by attaching it to the handle or zipper pull.
Care and Maintenance
- When attached to clothing, wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cool or lukewarm water where possible.
- Turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce friction on the embroidered surface.
- Air drying is recommended to help maintain adhesive and embroidery quality.
- If ironing the garment after application, avoid direct contact of a hot iron with the embroidery; use a pressing cloth over the patch.
- As a keychain, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to preserve the threads and metal components.
