betty boop sew on patch or iron on patch

[Sonya]

;) I am new to this and I am looking for a iron on patch or decal to sew on a lether jacket cant find one where i live if anyone has one please let me know!!! Thanks Sonya

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Sonya,
I don't think you will be able to find an iron on or sew on patch because King Features wants to control what the Betty Boop image goes on and so they haven't authorized just patches.. only patches that are already sewn on jackets, etc. that are manufactured by the official licensees.

[Sonya]

:( Yes Im finding out that there are no Patches out there any where!!! Have looked everywhere to no avail!! But guess I will keep trying!! Thank You Very much for your reply!!! Sonya

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm afraid your search for a patch may end up being a futile one. Maybe some of the other members are aware of a vendor who sells patches but I don't know of any and I have the current list of licensees. Wish I could be more helpful.

[boopdaboop55]

:mad: thanks for trying to find patches that you can have sewn onto leather jackets. i am kind of upset. but understand the rules and regulations. once again...thanks from rose a betty admirer and long time friend.

[BBooper]

First of all welcome to the forum!

I understand the trouble you are having with finding patches. i create my own from old t-shirts. when my t-shirts become too small i cut out the image of betty and use it as a patch! i have made pillow covers this way!

Hope i have helped.

yeh iv done a simila kind of thing,
my mum got me a denim shirt with a small picture of betty boops head on the pocket, i knew id never wear the shirt so i decided to cut out the face and sew it onto the back pocket of a pair of jeans that i knew i wud wear
i was a bit upset about having to cut up the shirt at first becoz i didnt wana ruin any thing of betty boop, but now im glad i did because i now have a pair of betty boop jeans that i love wearing all the time and go with my dress style a lot more then a baggy denim shirt wud!

[Sonya]

:D Thank you for the info sorry I took so long to respond but my mom had to have open heart surgery!! Been offline for wahile. But agin thank you i will have to try the t-shirt thing sounds like a winner to me!!!! Sonya

[BBooper]

This is a great idea!!!

How about you posting this in the 'Solutions & How To's' forum?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey that is a good idea to recycle your t-shirts into something else... that's pretty clever thinking if you ask me!

[vacar]

Has anyone ever seen Betty Boop sunglasses? If so where? :) :)

[Sonya]

Thank you all for trying to find me a patch to sew on to no avaiel did I find one but I was affraid of that. but I did get a few good ideas thank you al alot!!! Sonya

[Cute Booper]

Hey Boopsie Cola~

I luv that Patch on the Jeans idea! That's even better than GUESS! Mind if I bite? Since you are in London, and I am in Ca, USA, When someone compliments my Betty Boop Jeans, I'll just say they were designed in LONDON!!

;)

[JennyBoop]

:D Hello now I have seen on ebay where some people are selling material with Betty on it to make thing's with but never any patches though.

[Sonya]

Yes I bought Betty Boop Do-Rag or was supose to be one from someone on E-Bay and it was terrible nothing like what it was supose to be so i watch buying things off of there from now on but have gotten good things there also. Just wont buy Betty Boop things anymore(word of warning)!! Sonya

[Cute Booper]

Hi Ladies! I've seen alot of Betty Boop Character Cloth Materials at Wal-Mart! I can't sew anything ,but it's good for the Crafty one who can! ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

I haven't seen sunglasses or patches... I have seen sunglass cases... but not the glasses.

[XxxBettyBoopxxX]

Well I guess I'm the only one in this forum that knows where to get Betty Boop patches. I just bought one two days ago. I made the most awsome trucker hat with it.:D

[vacar]

I just got a Betty Boop patch. It has Betty and Pudgy on it. I'm so excited that I found a cute one. Now if I can only decide what to put it on...:D ::D :D

[10eke]

I thought there weren't any authorized patched? Do they have some kind of King Features mark?

[mgchan]

I don't believe there are any authorized BB patches.

[XxxBettyBoopxxX]

I don't believe it's a registered patch

[Bikerbettyboop]

It could've been a patch that was made years ago and may have been registered at that time.

[Betty kisser]

i have a iron on patch im willing to trade for e-mial me at ninatraviesa01@sanrio.com

[Betty kisser]

but im new so you have to explian to me how to do this cause i dont know how

[Bikerbettyboop]

What kind of patch is it? What does it look like?

[bteebup]

Walmart has BB material? WOW, I've never seen it or i'd of snatched it up..............Dang it, now I need to go to WM and check it out.....LOL

[Bikerbettyboop]

The Wal-Mart in my town doesn't have any BB fabric... I think they used to be able to special order it but I don't think they do anymore.

RATS!!!! haha! Probably just as well.........I've bout spent my last dime this month on the Boop! Need to build up some spending money. I just received the USO doll from Danbury Mint...which cost me a mint! HA.

My next big thing will be a tattoo on my lower back..............small and just her head (I think). I've been building up the nerve for months and think I'm just about ready................YIKES

[Bikerbettyboop]

Seems like everything from Danbury Mint costs a fortune doesn't it? I don't know why either. I've seen some beautiful Betty Boop collectibles made by other licensees that are just as nice as Danbury's stuff.

Ooooh... a tattoooooo.........

[Betty kisser]

its an iron on patch marlin monroe style

[Betty kisser]

im willing to trade it for 5 betty boop cards if you have cause i dont dont have any betty things but that. tell me what bb things you have maybe you have something i like

[Candlesnboop]

You know this may seem weird but my husband is a computer geek and he has a soultion!!! Make your own. Find your own pic that you would like to and make sure it has GOOD graphics, then you can find iron on paper from Staples and then you can print it but you have to have an ink jet printer!!!

But I have three of my own that I found on Ebay....
I have not used if any one would like them let me know.


Hope I helped:D

Candles

[Betty kisser]

o yes i would like them but i dont have any money our betty things but the patch

[Candlesnboop]

Well hey if you can pull together what 3 bucks just a dollar each... I think i paid maybe six for the 4 that I had. I would be more than honored to mail these to anyone.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi folks... just be careful that some of these patches being purchased on eBay may not be officially licensed and I for one do not want to support outlaw eBay sellers. I am not aware of any licensed patches.

[mgchan]

Bikerbettyboop is right... there are no licensed Betty Boop patches!

You can make your own patches or iron ons... providing you make them for yourself and don't sell any products with those iron ons.

Be sure you to use authorized BB images, not ones created or heavily modified by fans. Always include:

<center>&copy;2004 King Features Syndicate, Inc./Fleischer Studios, Inc.
<SUP><FONT SIZE="-1">TM</FONT></SUP>Hearst Holdings, Inc./Fleischer Studios, Inc.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks MGCHAN for clarifying this for us. I didn't think there were any licensed patches available for sale. Glad to hear we can make them for our own personal use though. That is great news. Thanks again!!

[Candlesnboop]

I never even though about that. OOPs the ones I bought are not King Features.

Darn.... But ya it is easy to make your own. As my hubby helped me point out:D

I had one ironed on to my jeans. Was fun till it washed off. O'well.

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's the problem with some of those iron on images... they do tend to wash off prematurely.

[Candlesnboop]

Well not if you put in on something that you do not wash that much. I washed my jeans all the time.. A hat would work or a dolli would be fun:D

[mgchan]

The images would less likely wash out if they were printed with an Epson printer which uses DURABrite ink. :)

Also print it on white iron transfer. It's used for putting on dark materials.

[Candlesnboop]

No my hubby says you need an ink jet or the images will not look as good. He really knows what he is talking about there he works for Hewitt Packard a big computer nerd!!!

But yea you wanna put it on a darker material, my jeans were black but still looked ok...

[mgchan]

DURABrite ink is the ink used in an Epson printer. They are fade and water resistant. The ink is better than the HP ink! :)

Another reason they say use inkjet is because the iron transfers for consumers is made for inkjets and 99.9% of all color printers at home is inkjet. A laser color copier will produce better and longer lasting results.

The reason you use the white transfer material is because the image will look brighter and more colorful.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks for the info MGCHAN.

I'd love to have a laser color copier/printer but they are pretty expensive, aren't they?

[mgchan]

Though there are color laser printers for under $1,000, decent ones are between $2,000 - $3,000. Compare that to inkjets for under $100!!!

BTW, in tests they found out in the long term, using a laser printer is actually cheaper than an inkjet printer. It's the consumerables (ink/toner) for the inkjet that add up over time.

[Bikerbettyboop]

hmm... interesting information. It's just that initial two to three thousand dollar cost that hurts most small business folks like me.

[husbandsabooper]

Does anyone know if there are cross-stitch patterns out there? I want to cross-stitch Betty on a demin shirt for my husband for Christmas.

I bought a number of quality sew-on patches about 6 or 7 years ago from Nostalgiaville, Inc. They were licensed by King Features and, I believe, manufactured by Dandor. These were large 12-14" pose patches and smaller 6-7" double-B letterman character patches. My wife used them to make some beautiful denim jackets that she only wears on special occasions. Despite many inquiries we've never been able to find anything similar since. It must have been a very limited run. Had we known we would have stocked up as there was so much more we wanted to do :(

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Jestor... welcome to the forum... sounds like your wife was able to put those patches to good use!!

[husbandsabooper]

Was Nostalgiaville Inc on the internet or was it a company somewhere? That would be far easier to iron it on than cross-stitch it! Thanks for the idea.
K

[jestor]

Hi Theresa and thanks for the welcome. Nice seeing you here!

Hi husbandsabooper. Nostalgiaville has a store right off I-70 in Kingdom City, MO that we visit a few times a year. It's a pretty nice drive for us but they carry a lot of hard to find retired items. They do have a website....

http://www.nostalgiavilleusa.com/

but it's really just displays the newer items they have in stock, things you can get anywhere.

On our recent visit I did notice they were carrying some pocket-sized sew-on patches, but the large Dandor patches are sadly a thing of the past.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks for the info on the shop and the website... I'll check it out....

[BBooper]

cool webbie! they have lotsa biker betty stuff! :D
