Full details
The KIKKERLAND Iron On Patch Sea Creature Set is designed for DIY enthusiasts, parents, and fashion-conscious individuals looking to add a playful touch to their personal belongings. These patches offer a convenient, heat-activated way to repair small tears or customize apparel like denim jackets, canvas bags, and hats with charming aquatic designs.

FAQs
Can I use these patches on leather?
No, the high heat required for the adhesive will damage most leather surfaces.
Are these patches machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Turn the item inside out and use cold water for longevity.
Do I need to sew these on?
Sewing is not required, but it is recommended for items that undergo frequent laundering or heavy use.
Can I remove the patch after it has been ironed on?
Removal is difficult and may leave adhesive residue. Using a specialized adhesive remover may help, but it may also damage the base fabric.
What is the best temperature setting for the iron?
Use the cotton setting. Avoid using the steam function as moisture can prevent the adhesive from bonding correctly.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges are peeling off shortly after application
The iron may not have been hot enough or pressure was insufficient. Re-apply the iron for an additional 20 seconds using firm pressure.
Patch does not stick to the fabric at all
Check that the fabric is not nylon, polyester-coated, or heat-sensitive. The adhesive requires a fabric surface that can absorb heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the patches, set your iron to the cotton setting without steam. Place the patch in your desired location, adhesive side down, and cover it with a thin pressing cloth to prevent direct scorching of the patch surface. Apply firm, even pressure with the iron for 30 to 45 seconds. Allow the patch to cool completely before testing the bond. For care, turn garments inside out before washing in cold water, and avoid using heavy-duty tumble dryers, as high heat can weaken the adhesive bond over multiple laundry cycles.
