<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1" style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">As we step into September, the excitement for Hispanic Heritage Month begins to build.   This special time, observed from September 15th to October 15th, is dedicated to celebrating the rich culture, history, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. At Patch Collection, we are proud to honor this <a href="https://patchcollection.com/search?q=HISPANIC+CULTURE&amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last" target="_blank">heritage</a> through <a href="https://patchcollection.com/" target="_blank">our products</a>, especially with one of our most cherished designs: the '<a href="https://patchcollection.com/products/amor-eterno-mexican-paper-banner-patch-hispanic-artist-embroidered-iron-on-patch?_pos=2&amp;_psq=amor&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" target="_blank">Amor Eterno</a>' patch.</span></p>

The design is inspired by the intricate papel picado often seen at <a href="https://patchcollection.com/search?q=MEXICAN+WEDDING&amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last" target="_blank">Mexican weddings</a> and festive celebrations. Papel picado, meaning "perforated paper," is a traditional folk art that features elaborate patterns cut into sheets of tissue paper. These delicate decorations are a staple in celebrations, representing the fragility and beauty of life.</span></p>

This versatile piece can be added to denim jackets, bags, hats, or even home décor, blending style with cultural significance.

<li data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Choose Your Shirts and Patches:</span></li>
</ol>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">   Start by selecting plain t-shirts in your child’s favorite colors.

<li data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Plan Your Design:</span></li>
</ol>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">   Lay the t-shirt flat and arrange the patches on it to decide on your design.

<ol start="3" data-mce-fragment="1">
<li data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Prepare for Ironing:</span></li>
</ol>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">   Preheat your iron to the temperature recommended for the fabric of your t-shirt. Place the t-shirt on the ironing board, ensuring it is wrinkle-free. Position the patches where you want them to be permanently attached.</span></p>

<li data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Iron the Patches:</span></li>
</ol>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">   Place a thin cloth or parchment paper over the patch to protect it from direct heat. Press the iron firmly over the patch for 30-60 seconds, applying steady pressure. Check if the patch has adhered to the shirt, and if needed, iron for a few more seconds.</span></p>

</ol>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">   Allow the shirt to cool completely before wearing. This ensures the patches are securely attached.</span></p>

      <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1"><img height="374" width="655" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/1_7d7bf7bd-06bf-44af-b247-253d13c94cdd_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">Patches have made a major comeback in fashion and personal expression, but getting them placed just right can be a bit tricky. Whether you're adding patches to your denim jacket or customizing your backpack, mastering the art of patch application is essential for achieving a long-lasting look. In this guide, we'll share tips and tricks to help you achieve flawless patch placement every time.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/2_eaaa1c99-0e4c-4c8f-8bb8-f3ba16f64211_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">1. </span> Plan Your Layout:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">Take some time to plan out the placement of your patches before you start applying them. Consider the overall look you're going for and how each patch will complement the others. You can lay the patches out on the fabric first to experiment with different arrangements until you find the perfect layout.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/3_9571fd26-5604-43c0-8f3f-29209f4990ef_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">2. Prepare Your Surface:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">Before you start applying patches, it's important to prepare the surface properly. Make sure the fabric is clean and free of any wrinkles or creases. If you're applying patches to a garment, consider ironing it beforehand to create a smooth canvas for your patches and using that extra heat to attach your patches. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/4_11423270-c67c-4e60-91d5-fdf6b68bce68_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">3. Use Pins, Fabric Adhesive, Heat Resistant Tape:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">To ensure your patches stay in place while you're sewing or ironing them on, use pins, fabric adhesive, or heat-resistant tape to secure them temporarily. This will help prevent any shifting or misalignment during the application process, giving you more control over the final result.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/5_77cbd33f-d4af-4598-8b7b-ffc82733d288_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">4. Sewing vs. Ironing:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">There are two main methods for attaching patches: sewing and ironing. Sewing provides a secure and durable bond, while ironing offers a quicker and easier application process. Choose the method that works best for your fabric and patch type, keeping in mind that some patches may require sewing for added security.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/6_0b836672-1496-4716-bc61-8d13576a60b6_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/6_0b836672-1496-4716-bc61-8d13576a60b6_480x480.png?v=1711565212"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">5. Ironing Tips:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">If you're ironing on patches, make sure to use a heat-resistant surface to lay the garment on and follow the instructions provided with the patches. Use a t-shirt or parchment paper to protect the fabric and your patch, this will prevent any damage from the heat. Apply firm pressure and hold the iron in place for about 20 seconds to ensure a strong bond. For added durability, repeat this process on the back side of the patch placement area. You can locate detailed instructions on the back of our patch packaging or access our 'How to Iron-on Patches' tutorial video by clicking </span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">here</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">. </span></p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1">6. Sewing Tips:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">When sewing on patches, use a thread color that matches the patch as closely as possible to create a seamless finish. Start by securing the patch with a few anchor stitches, then sew around the edges using a straight or zigzag stitch. Take your time and sew carefully to ensure neat and even stitches.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" data-mce-fragment="1"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/8_61372d6b-6620-45f0-bf8d-99478f374bcc_480x480.png?v=1711565212" alt=""></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">7. Finishing Touches:</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1">Once your patches are securely attached, give them a final press with the iron to ensure they're flat and smooth. Trim any loose threads and inspect the patches for any signs of fraying or loose stitches. With proper care and maintenance, your patches will stay looking great for years to come.</span></p>

Customizing your phone case with patches is a fantastic DIY project. Create a unique phone case that reflects your personal style. In this quick guide, we'll show you how to apply patches to your phone case using glue, giving your device a trendy and personalized look.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Materials You'll Need:</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">- Phone case (clean)</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">- Patches with Iron on backing </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">- Super glue</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/BLOG_Photo_Content_12_480x480.png?v=1699292999" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><b>Step 1: Choose Your Patches</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start by finding and selecting the patches that speak to your style. There are a wide variety of patch designs out there, from cute animals to classic rock bands. Ensure that the patches you choose match the size and style of your phone case.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Step 2: Prepare Your Workspace</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find a clean and well-lit area to work. Lay down a cloth or paper towel to protect your surface from any glue spills or smudges. Make sure you have all your materials within reach.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Step 3: Position the Patches</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you apply any glue, arrange your patches on the phone case to determine the best layout. Experiment with different placements until you're satisfied with the overall design. This is the fun, creative part where you decide on your unique arrangement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/BLOG_Photo_Content_13_480x480.png?v=1699293042" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><b>Step 4: Apply the Glue</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ensure the phone case is clean before applying the patches. Once you've finalized the placement of the patch, it's time to secure them to your phone case.  Take your fabric glue and a toothpick or small brush to apply a thin, even layer of glue to the back of your patch. Do this one patch at a time. Make sure to cover the edges and corners, but avoid using too much glue to prevent it from seeping out when you press the patch down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/BLOG_Photo_Content_14_480x480.png?v=1699293116" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><b>Step 5: Attach the Patch</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carefully place the patch on the desired spot of your phone case. Press it firmly to ensure it adheres securely to the case. Hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Step 6: Repeat the Process</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continue this process for each patch you want to attach to your phone case. Take your time and be precise. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Step 7: Let It Dry</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After applying all the patches, let the glue dry. It's crucial to be patient during this step to ensure a strong bond. The drying time may vary depending on the type of glue you're using, so refer to the glue's instructions for guidance.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Step 8: Clean Up</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the glue is drying, take a moment to clean any excess glue off your phone case or patches using a clean cloth or paper towel. This will give your phone case a polished look.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/BLOG_Photo_Content_15_480x480.png?v=1699293147" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><b>Step 9: Enjoy Your Customized Phone Case</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once the glue is completely dry, your custom phone case is ready to use. Show off your personalized style and unique design to your friends and family. Your phone case is now a reflection of your personality! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/BLOG_Photo_Content_16_480x480.png?v=1699293212" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 1: Plan Your Design</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Start by laying out and arranging the Halloween patches any way you prefer onto your jacket. Consider the placement and order of patches to create an appealing design. This is a great time to get your little one involved - not only is it a fun part of the project but it also ensures they will love the final look!  </span></p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img style="float: none; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A0847_240x240.png?v=1698348129"></div>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 2: Prepare the Jacket</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Lay the denim jacket flat on your ironing board. Make sure it's wrinkle-free. If there are any seams or areas under the buttons where you intend to place patches, be sure to smooth out these areas as best as possible.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 3: Apply the Patches</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Begin applying the iron-on patches one at a time. Position them on the jacket according to your planned design. Make sure the adhesive side of the patch is facing down onto the fabric of the jacket. Use a clean cloth or parchment paper to cover the patches before ironing.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A0840_240x240.png?v=1698348324" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 4: Ironing Process</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Now, it's time to iron on the patches. Place the hot iron (without steam) on the cloth or parchment paper covering the patches. Apply gentle pressure and move the iron in a circular motion for about 20-30 seconds. Ensure you cover the entire patch evenly.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A0842_240x240.png?v=1698348366" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 5: Allow to Cool</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">After you've applied heat to the patch, carefully lift the cloth or parchment paper and check if the patch is securely attached. With your finger, gently check to see if all the sides are glued down. If it's not, repeat the ironing process for another 10-15 seconds. Allow each patch to cool completely before moving on to the next one.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 6: Continue with Remaining Patches</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Repeat the same process for each patch you've planned for the jacket. If you're applying patches close to each other, be cautious not to overlap the ironing process. Take your time to ensure the patches are securely attached and have a smooth finish.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A0818_240x240.png?v=1698348403" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 7: Final Inspection</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Once you've attached all your chosen patches, take a moment to inspect your toddler's Halloween denim jacket. Make sure each patch is firmly in place, and there are no loose edges.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"> </p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Step 8: Showcase the Finished Jacket</b></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Your Halloween-themed denim jacket is now complete! Let your toddler try it on and watch their face light up with excitement. They'll be thrilled to show off their special creation to friends and family during the spooky season.</span></p>

<p><b>Why the Craze?</b></p>
<p>The appeal of custom jerseys lies in the ability to let  you  tell your story in the way you want. In a world that celebrates diversity, wearing a jersey customized with your name, lucky number, or a meaningful emblem not only feels unique but also encapsulates your identity.</p>

<p><b>A Walk Through Time</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The journey of jerseys from team identifiers to customizable statements is fascinating. Initially, jerseys solely represented sports teams and their players. As time passed, fans began adding </span><a href="https://patchcollection.com/pages/jacket-patches" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">patches</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://patchcollection.com/collections/lapel-pins" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">pins</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and </span><a href="https://patchcollection.com/search?q=BADGE&amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">badges </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">to show their unwavering support.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today's fast-paced consumer culture, the fashion industry churns out new trends faster than ever before. As a result, our wardrobes often become cluttered with clothes that we no longer wear.

      <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you're a music enthusiast, chances are you've attended a concert or two and snagged some sweet merch along the way. From t-shirts to posters, concert swag is a fantastic way to show your support for your favorite bands and artists. But have you ever considered taking it up a notch and designing your own concert gear with embroidered patches? Trust us, it's a DIY project that's both fun and fabulous!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embroidered music patches offer an endless array of possibilities when it comes to creating concert merch. Using music patches, you can easily create custom apparel with your favorite band's logo, album artwork, or other iconic symbols. With a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors available, the options are limitless, ensuring that your concert gear will be one-of-a-kind. Our music band patches can be sewn or ironed onto different fabrics like jackets, backpacks, hats, and even jeans, allowing you to personalize your clothing items with your favorite band's imagery. Check out this custom hat we made with our </span><a title="ACDC PWR UP Patch Woven Iron On" href="https://patchcollection.com/products/ac-dc-pwr-up?_pos=1&amp;_psq=acdc+pwr&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ACDC PWR UP Patch</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by simply ironing it on.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A8533_480x480.png?v=1682983773"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to expressing your love for music, there's no better way to do it than by creating your own custom concert merch with embroidered patches. Not only does it allow you to showcase your favorite bands and artists, but it also gives you a chance to reflect on your own personal style. Adding a </span><a title="Official Misfits Patch Small Logo Skull Embroidered Iron On" href="https://patchcollection.com/products/misfits-skull-2x2-5?_pos=1&amp;_psq=small+misfits&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">small Official Misfits Patch</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to a bag that is already loved is a simple and effective way to elevate its style, as shown by our customer's example. By adding patches to your concert gear yourself, you're adding a personal touch that showcases your creativity and passion for a band and it's music. Plus, wearing your patched clothing items to concerts or other music events can spark conversations and connections with fellow fans, creating a community around your shared love for the band, artist, or music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/E30A9844_480x480.png?v=1682983923"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another fantastic benefit of using embroidered patches for concert merch is their durability and versatility. Unlike screen-printed t-shirts that can fade or crack over time, patches are made to last. They're created with high-quality threads and stitching, ensuring that they can withstand the wear and tear of any concert experience. Most of our patches are equipped with iron-on adhesive and are effortless to apply. Watch our short </span><a title="Easy Steps Video | How To Iron On Patches like A Professional! - Official Patch Collection" href="https://youtu.be/gmpKuxu1-II" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube Tutorial here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to learn how to iron on your patch and secure it for your next concert experience. Did you know our music patches can be removed and reattached without losing their quality or appearance? This allows you to transfer them onto different clothing items or switch them out depending on your mood or outfit.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Designing your own concert merch with embroidered patches also offers an opportunity for branding and marketing. If you're in a band or an artist yourself, you can create custom patches featuring your logo, album artwork, or other promotional elements. These patches can be used as giveaways, incentives, or rewards for fans who purchase tickets, albums, or other merchandise, helping to promote your brand and engage with your fan base.</span></p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.Their ironing board is not at the right temperature.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Make sure your iron is on the highest setting and that your steam settings are OFF.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.They iron directly over the patch.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;You’ll want to cover your patch with a white t-shirt, teflon sheet or other cloth to protect the patch from burning!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.They don’t wait for the patch and garment to cool down.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;After you iron on the patch, let your patch and garment sit and cool down for 5 minutes, this will help set the patch unto your garment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;This past year more than ever, we are all missing our previous adventures, our road trips to visit our family, and spontaneous plane rides. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;If we would have predicted a year-long period of staying home, maybe more people would have taken that trip they’d been dreaming of and collecting the souvenirs they realllllly wanted. Wearing and showcasing these patches, is a fun and easy way of documenting those “wander-ful” times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Japanese Garden is a serene garden within the Houston Hermann Park. It’s full of beautiful and lush greenery. There are even cherry trees as a symbol of Japan’s gift to the United States in the early 1900s. This garden is the perfect place for a relaxing Sunday stroll! Plus, it’s free to attend!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tt-blockquote"&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Top DIY Halloween Ideas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Patch Collection team’s favorite season is approaching and we have two words for you...SPOOKY SEASON!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;We’ve composed a list of creative and trouble-free DIY Halloween ideas for you to do for the candy-filled holiday!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DIY Costumes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;If you want an Insta-worthy costume this Halloween, skip the major Halloween stores and create your own costume with patches! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Need some inspiration for your costume contest? What about your cosplay gear? Not only will a personal touch to your costume show off your creative talent, but you won’t run into anyone wearing the same thing as you either. As we social distance this frightening holiday, you need an outfit that will stand out 6 feet away! Some of our favorite DIY costumes include modern-day Harry Potter and Russell from the Disney Pixar movie Up! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Or did you wait last minute to choose what to be for Halloween and now the major stores are out of your costume? No worries, we’ve been there too! Fortunately, there are numerous ways to design your own crafty, last minute Halloween costume with patches before the big day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;We offer speedy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://patchcollection.com/policies/shipping-policy"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;shipping &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;to ensure your DIY projects don’t have to wait! Plus, if you are in the Houston-area, you can visit our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://patchcollection.com/pages/about-us"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;shop &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt; and take your patches home the same day! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;2020 is a year for the books! From Coronavirus, social justice issues, the 100th year of women’s suffrage, and now, the upcoming General Election, we are all witnesses to history. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Voting provides citizens an opportunity to express patriotism and to stand up for what they believe in. Additionally, elections at both the local and national levels are vital to the democracy of the United States and its people. Everyone counts! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://patchcollection.com/collections/u-s-states/products/usa-american-flag-i-voted-iron-on-patch" target="_blank" title="I Voted iron on patch" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0330/9935/0060/files/IMG_9467.jpg?v=1599836223" alt="I voted iron on patch" width="" height="" style="float: none;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;When is the Presidential Election?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Tuesday, November 3rd 2020 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;If November 3rd is not convenient for you or you want to avoid any possible waiting lines, most states offer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/early-voting-in-state-elections.aspx#Early%20Voting%20Law%20Table"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;early voting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt; for eligible voters! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Due to the Coronavirus, many people are concerned about the accessibility of voting this year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nass.org/can-i-vote/absentee-early-voting"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Each state has different rules regarding mail-in absentee voting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;. Therefore, if you don’t feel comfortable going to the polls this Super Tuesday, make sure you are aware of your state’s options!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are You Registered to Vote?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Let’s check! If you’re unsure if you are registered to vote, you can visit the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.usa.gov/confirm-voter-registration"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;usa.gov&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;  website to confirm your registration status. This is an easy process to follow! It’s important to check if you are registered to vote at least 30 days before the upcoming election. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who can vote?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;To vote in the United States, one must be:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;A U.S citizen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;At least 18 years of age&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Meet the state’s residency requirements &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;All 50 states offer voter eligibility for those experiencing homelessness. A chart listing the specific rules for each state can be found &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://nationalhomeless.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018-Manual_for-web.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;li style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Be registered to vote (Those living in North Dakota do not need to be registered to vote.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The legal voting age in the United States is 18 years old. However, each state has different age requirements in order for individuals to register to vote.
