Stay connected with our Love Note Heart Patch
These sweet little heart shaped love you iron-on patches are made with your handwriting, so you can pop them on your childs clothing (or bag) so they can feel loved all day long. They are perfect for children starting school or those with separation anxiety, but they would also jazz up denim jackets and can be added as a Secret Message sleeve print to clothing... or can be tucked away and hidden inside a coat.
Match them to your childs school uniform or go for their favourite colours!
Just upload a picture of your handwritten message and choose your favourite colour combination! These patches will only fit 2-3 words max (potentially 4 words if written to fit within the heart shape) due to their small print area. Sets are available with the same handwritten message.
These patches would also make a lovely gift for grown ups too with their childs handwriting, and can even be added to your favourite blanket.

Care/instructions:
To iron on: Peel off the backing paper. Use an iron on the high without steam. Cover the patch with baking paper or thin fabric to protect the print and press down with the iron for 15-20 seconds. Leave to cool and check it has adhered. For items that will be washed regularly we recommend adding some stitches around the edge for full protection.
**check the material that you would like to attach the patch to is iron safe (e.g. for backpacks), if it isn't you can sew the patch on as an alternative**
**We cannot guarantee the iron-on will stick permanently as it will depend on the material and how it is ironed on (but everything we have tested has stuck well for us through the wash). If you have problems with the iron-on the patches can be sewn into place as an alternative.

Recommended by Child Psychologist Kimberley Bennett
"A young child’s greatest need is attachment. That’s why children can find being separated from their most important people really tricky! When we separate from our children, we want to support them to “hold onto us” while they are apart from us. To understand that their connection to us remains, even when we aren’t with them.
When my son was starting Primary School, I was so excited to find Olive & Pip’s love heart patches. As a mum (and psychologist) I couldn’t wait to order them for my little ones school uniform to help “bridge” that separation for him."

We love our patch …or patches as this is not a first for us we always come back every year for one. That little message really does help my little girl settle in school a lot easier 🥰
Thank you so much …not just for the patches for all my other orders Iv ever made from your website it really is a favourite of mine xx
I ordered two of the love heart patches for my son starting school. He loved them and was very excited to have them in his jumper and I think it will definitely help with the separation.
Thank you!
A lovely product for a school starter. Very good customer service. Thank you 😀
