Tips for attaching emblems to costumes?

[MadDoc138]

I've made some new emblems for my customs. Any tips on attaching them to costumes? I saw something once about attaching emblems made from photo paper with Fabri-tack glue, but can't find it. Suggestion would be appreciated.

I'm sure there are much better methods, but I use 2-sided scrap booking adhesive. It come in these little dispensers like old fashioned correction tape.

You mean attaching emblems, insignia etc. to cloth costumes, right?

I'm not sure why anyone would consider glue or tape. I got the best results by buying inkjet iron-on transfer paper for dark fabrics. Just scan the logo, emblem, insignia, etc. that you want. Do a test print on regular paper. Then, cut out a small square of the inkjet iron-on paper and TAPE it (using regular scotch tape) to the regular paper, using the test print as an alignment guide. Print the image on your inkjet printer.

Then, carefully remove your iron-on, and cut out the emblem. Follow the ironing instructions. Use low heat if you're using polyester or nylon. I prefer to use cotton for my figures' clothing.

Here's what I do with 4-1/2" rubber monster jigglers.
