I ruined my bike trailer and want to cover the damage by using cool kiddie patches. I was thinking maybe a pirate theme. Does anyone know where I can find cute patches?

Here is what I am trying to cover up:

The trailer is blue and yellow:

Other ideas are welcome as well!

These are nice! Thanks! I also forgot about etsy. May be able to find something neat there. If anyone knows of any good etsy sellers that do this kind of thing, let me know!

No experience with the seller, but I like these:

I think an iron-on patch would melt that fabric. I would sew them on.

I'm guessing a shoe repair person could help with this.

Good to know. Thanks!

So I have been having a convo with an esty seller and she says it would probably be pretty much impossible to sew anything onto that fabric. Would a sticker work? or can I glue a patch onto that kind of fabric?

I would not iron it either. I'd think a tent repair sticker, if something like that exists, would be best.
