Want to spruce up that beloved shirt? Bat's the spirit! The dwarf bat patch kit is an ideal way to celebrate a winged creature that's an important part of our ecosystem. Bats distribute seeds, help pollinate, and play an essential role in pest control. Many species are vulnerable, and some are endangered.
This kit was created to help you show your love of bats while making an old garment or hat feel brand new and keep it out of the landfill. After all, you can’t get rid of it, it’s got a hand-embroidered patch on it!
When you've completed the kit, you'll have a hand-crafted dwarf bat patch with a stick-on backing that will permanently adhere to any fabric surface.
