Putting on Badges....

Although the Badges and Patches are fun for the girls to earn them....they are not fun for Mom's to put on...!

Granted, we don't have to sew them on anymore like my Mom used to. However, they seem to not stick very well when you iron them on. My daughters troop numbers have been also coming off!

I decided to try it a different way...!

I have this package of Heat N Bond from Jo-ann's Fabrics {across from the mall.} I am pretty sure Walmart carries this also in the craft section. It makes the fabric, or patches in this case really sticky.

 Open your roll of Heat and Bond and measure out a piece that covers your patch.  These Pumpkin Patch ones did not stick very well before.

 Cut the Heat N Bond.

 Next, cut it out into the exact shape and size you want it to be. {I put a towel under when ironing} Iron the Heat N Bond to the patch on Wool Setting and No Steam. Maybe 30 seconds or so until you know it's on good?!

 Now, peel the backing off of the Heat N Bond like so...

 Place it where ever you want on the sash and put it on just as you would normally. Iron from the back and the front {when ironing from the front, place a towel over...do not put the iron on directly to the patch!} The Heat N Bond makes it extra sticky.

 Avoid looking at my poor iron. I never ironed until recently with GS..! My iron was always used for crafts!

I hope this helps you Mom's some...! It helped me.

These are a pain to put on...!
