How to Apply – Iron On or Sew On

This patch includes a heat-activated adhesive backing for ironing, but sewing is recommended for items that will be washed often or worn heavily.

🔥 Extra Detailed Iron-On Instructions (Heat Transfer Method)

Before you begin, make sure your fabric can handle heat. Best fabrics include cotton, denim, canvas, polyester blends, and similar materials. Avoid silk, nylon, leather, vinyl, waterproof fabrics, or very stretchy materials unless sewing only.

1. Place your garment on a flat, firm, heat-safe surface such as an ironing board or wooden table. Avoid soft surfaces like beds or sofas, as they reduce heat effectiveness.

2. Preheat your iron to medium-high / cotton setting (approximately 170–180°C / 340–360°F).
   Turn steam OFF completely.

3. Position the elephant patch adhesive-side down exactly where you want it.

4. Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth, tea towel, or baking parchment. This protects both the embroidery threads and your iron.

5. Press the iron straight down firmly on top of the patch for 20–25 seconds.
   Do not slide the iron — use direct downward pressure.

6. Lift the iron and repeat over every area of the patch, paying special attention to edges, legs, trunk, and tail so the adhesive bonds evenly.

7. Turn the garment inside out and press directly behind the patch for another 15–20 seconds. This allows the glue to melt deeper into the fabric fibres.

8. Lay flat and allow everything to cool completely (about 2–3 minutes). Do not touch or move the patch while hot.

9. Once cool, gently test the edges. If any area lifts, repeat ironing for another 10–15 seconds.

10. Leave the garment flat for at least 24 hours before wearing or washing to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

Aftercare: Wash inside out on a gentle cycle using cold or warm water. Avoid tumble drying where possible — air drying greatly extends patch life.

🧵 Sew-On Instructions (Recommended for Long-Term Durability)

Sewing is ideal for children’s clothing, pyjamas, backpacks, denim jackets, or anything washed frequently.

1. Position the patch and secure temporarily using pins or a small amount of fabric glue.

2. Thread a needle with strong polyester or cotton thread in a matching or neutral colour.

3. Starting from the inside of the garment, bring the needle up through the edge of the patch.

4. Stitch around the entire border using small whip stitches or straight stitches, spacing them about 3–5mm apart.

5. Follow the elephant’s outline carefully, especially around curved areas.

6. Keep stitches snug but not tight to avoid puckering.

7. Once complete, finish on the inside with a double knot and trim excess thread.

For extra strength, you may add a second row of stitches slightly inside the first — perfect for bags, jackets, or kidswear.

⭐ Pro Tip for Best Results

Many crafters prefer to iron first for placement, then sew around the edge once cooled. This gives instant bonding plus long-lasting durability — ideal for pyjamas, school clothes, and everyday wear.
