How-To Steps
1) Determine where you want your patch to line up. If using a sparrow patch, I recommend lining up the wings with each of the toe straps so they somewhat hide the straps.
2) Place glue on strap where you want your patch to sit, press patch on, and let it dry completely (clamps/clips would be helpful). While I'm sure various types of glue would work, I recommend using Shoe Goo since it is made to withstand the conditions a shoe encounters.
3) (Optional) Since there is not much of a surface for the patch to adhere to, I would strongly encourage hand sewing a few stitches through the patch and strap so the patch does not fall off. If you use matching thread, your stitches will not be visible.
This post is THE SHIT! Please tell me you're making them yourself, and that you'll post pics of the finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Custom embroidered patches are special because they are uniquely yours! This is great because I think paying almost $90 for a a pair of sandals is insane, $25 sounds perfect to me.
