How to Apply the Patch – Iron-On Method:

For those who prefer a quick and easy way to attach the patch, the iron-on method works perfectly. Just follow these simple steps to ensure a secure and lasting bond:

1. Prepare the Surface: Begin by washing and drying the fabric where you plan to attach the patch. Make sure it’s smooth and free of wrinkles. Lay the fabric flat on an ironing board or heat-resistant surface.

2. Position the Patch: Place the patch on the fabric with the embroidered side facing up. Be sure to position it exactly where you want it to be permanently affixed.

3. Cover with Cloth: Place a thin cloth, such as a cotton handkerchief or parchment paper, over the patch. This protects the patch and fabric from direct heat and prevents any potential scorch marks.

4. Set the Iron: Heat your iron to medium heat (cotton setting) without using steam. Ensure the iron is hot enough to transfer the adhesive but not too hot to damage the fabric.

5. Iron the Patch: Press the iron down on the patch for around 15-20 seconds with firm, even pressure. Do not slide the iron back and forth to avoid shifting the patch. After 15-20 seconds, lift the iron and check if the patch has adhered. If it hasn't fully bonded, repeat the process for another 10 seconds.

6. Cool Down: Allow the patch to cool for a few minutes to set the adhesive. Once cooled, gently peel away the cloth. Your patch should be securely attached to your fabric.

7. Optional Extra Step: For added durability, especially if the fabric will be washed frequently, you may want to sew around the edges of the patch after ironing to ensure it stays in place.

How to Sew On the Patch:

For those who prefer a more traditional, permanent attachment method, sewing is a great choice. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Materials: Gather your sewing supplies, including a needle, thread (ideally in a neutral color like white or blue), pins, and scissors.

2. Position the Patch: Just like with the iron-on method, position the patch where you want it to be placed on the fabric. Pin it in place to prevent it from shifting as you sew.

3. Start Sewing: Thread your needle and tie a knot at the end of the thread. Begin by sewing around the edges of the patch with small, even stitches. You can use a simple running stitch or backstitch to ensure a secure attachment.

4. Secure the Stitches: Once you've sewn all around the patch, tie off the thread with a secure knot on the underside of the fabric to prevent it from unraveling. Trim any excess thread.

5. Check the Attachment: Gently tug on the patch to ensure it's securely sewn. If needed, reinforce any loose areas to ensure it holds up well, especially along the corners and edges.

The History of the Finland Flag:

The Finnish flag, known as the "siniristilippu" (blue cross flag), has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. The flag’s design is simple yet powerful, featuring a blue cross on a white background. The blue represents the many lakes and waterways of Finland, while the white symbolizes the snow that covers the country during the winter months.

The flag was officially adopted as Finland’s national flag in 1918, following Finland's declaration of independence from Russia in 1917. The blue cross design became a symbol of Finnish unity and independence, and it quickly became a source of pride for the Finnish people. Over time, the flag has come to represent not only Finland's natural beauty and heritage but also the spirit of resilience and freedom that defines the nation.

With this mini Finland Flag Patch, you can wear a piece of history, proudly showcasing the symbol of Finland’s enduring independence and the stunning natural landscape that it represents. Whether you choose to iron it on or sew it onto your favorite clothing, this patch serves as a reminder of the Finnish spirit and tradition.
