My braggadocios bag to display my maker skills as I earn them.  Unfortunately, no one is currently giving out small, gold colored plastic trophies(3-d Printing Idea for someone) to celebrate the various achievements in makerdom.  But thankfully, Adafruit is producing patches!

Step 1: Prep the patches

When these come from Adafruit they have UPC stickers attached to them.  My first thought was just to peel them off.  This left sticker residue that was very tough to pull off.  For the other dozen patches, I'd "make" smarter.  I pre-heated the patches and the stickers came right off.

What? No instructables patch?

I know right. It's worse cause I have like 5 of them. They aren't iron on and I was feeling too lazy to sew when I made this. I will add one when I put on a solar patch.

thanks. These patches are pretty new to the seen. Check the link to Adafruit and be sure to catch "Ask an Engineer" for all the super cool updates. With Becky Stern over there now and the Flora due to release soon, it looks like there will be an explosion of wearables.
