Step 5Making the Sticker-Patches
Attaching the Velcro to the patches is easy. Both the iron-on Velcro and the adhesive Velcro have a sticky surface which will stick to the back of patches. In general, the iron-on Velcro is better; it can bond to patches with a plain fabric back or the shiny iron-on backing. The adhesive Velcro will not hold on plain fabric patches. Use what is appropriate for each patch.
Use the hook-side of the Velcro (the scratchy side). It can be cut to fit the back of the patch or just applied in the center of the patch. If you do not fit across the entire back, parts of the patch will curl up off the bag. This can be a nice effect for flower patches, insect wings, etc.
Using iron-on Velcro, iron on top of a scrap piece of paperboard (from a cereal box, for example) to keep the patch from bonding to your ironing surface. Place the patch face-up, iron on the cotton setting + steam setting for 60 seconds to set the adhesive.
