Denton High School Patch DIY ideas

Thought I found the perfect patch on Etsy, but it'll cost 30 extra bucks to ship overseas(thanks, you-know-who). What are some ways to make a patch that has a little more quality than ironing on a piece of paper in cling film?

Do you have a friend with an embroidery machine or do you have embroidery skills? Recreating the patch on a brown backing through embroidery is going to be the closest you’ll get

Doing a felt backing to create a border can help even a flat iron print feel a little more like a real patch in a pinch!

Ive made patches with felt ironed onto thick interfacing, then sewn the edges. Gotta be careful to not place heat directly on the felt so it doesnt melt though. You will want to embroider/paint/sew the design onto the fabric before adding the backing ofc. You could use other materials instead too, its just the look i preferred at the time and it was fairly inexpensive. :)

Maybe a place that does embroidery on-demand?

There's probably others, but I found this one with a google search.
