    • Lay your garment on a flat surface.

    • Draw a line around the bottle lid to use it as a guide.

    • Note: In this example, we chose the lid because it was at least 1cm larger than the hole on each side. For future patching, please keep this margin in mind.

    • Place the top edge of the patch carefully onto the item, and apply gentle pressure.

    • Use the backside of a spoon to apply harder pressure, and use a circular motion to press down around the patch for 1-2 minutes.
