Best Answer

You have a number of options:

  • You can iron them on, if they are already iron-on ready (shiny, waxy coating on the back of the patch).
  • If they are not iron-on ready, you can purchase something called fusible web at a craft store. Fusible web acts like double-stick tape - when you place them between the patch and the fabric and iron them, they will stick together.
  • You can glue them on with fabric glue.

Where do you put fun patches on the Girl Scout Cadette sash?

All fun patches and any other unofficial insignia should be placed on the back of the Girl Scout Cadette sash or vest. If you do not have room on your sash or vest, many girls have made patch blankets where they sew the fun patches on a blanket. Or some have sewn the fun patches on a sweatshirt or hoodie.

How do you attach patches to a scout uniform?

The best way to attach then is by sewing them. There are various glues, including Badge Magic and other fabric glues such as Aleene's OK to wash glue that are easy and work well if you follow the instructions (particularly important for the Aleene's). However, the patches do drift some exposing he underlying glue (especially Badge Magic) and they are not easily removed. To remove them you need to use a solvent which damages the patch and leaves residue on the uniform. This is an issue as many people like to save the patches and the patches are sometimes updated and replaced. Also it leaves the uniform unfit for re-use by another scout. My tips: - There are several good videos on You Tube. - If the patch has a border put the needle under the strings of the border, not through the patch - it better preserves the patch and is much easier. - Hold the patch in place with hot glue before sewing. It holds position better than pins, is adjustable for a bit after application (before the glue cools) and peels off of the patch and uniform without leaving residue after patch removal. Some use double sided carpet tape. This works well but is not as adjustable. It will leave a residue unless you remove it after partially sewing your patch (apply it to the patch, sew half way around the patch, remove the tape, then finnish sewing the patch). - Get clear thread rather than trying to match all those different colors. I've heard of some using a fine fishing line but have not tried that. They do sell clear thread. The scouts make a kit with thread designed to match the insignia colors. It is expensive and does not do a very good job. You can get Badge Magic at the scout store or scoutstuff.org. You can get Aleene's or similar fabric glues at Walmart or most craft stores.

What can you do if you have too many patches on your sash?

There are several suggestions of things you could do. 1) Sew the fun patches on the back so that they overlap. 2) Buy a vest because they hold more. 3) Get a patch blanket and sew the fun patches on the blanket, then you can sew the earned awards on the back of the sash if there isn't enough room for them on the front. 4) Buy a second sash. 5) Buy some matching material and add it to the sash. 6) If you have lots of fun patches, it might be fun to put them in a scrapbook with photos and memories of Girl Scout events.
