We received our first load of entries today for the “Stick Chair Merit Badges.” And everyone followed instructions. Thank you!
It’s great to see all the different chairs and their personalities (and their owners). If you would like a merit badge for your shop apron or tuxedo, there is only one way to get them and here are the instructions.
If you don’t sew, and you don’t know anyone who does, you can also glue these patches on garments. I use Fabric Fusion, which is used for fabric repair. It works like woodworking glue. Apply a thin and consistent coat to the back of the patch. Tape it to the garment. Place something heavy on top of the patch for a couple hours. That’s it.
Like furniture, a glue-only joint isn’t as good as something with a mechanical interlock. But this is better than rubber cement.
Note that the “Stick Chair Merit Badges” patches are not iron-on. They need to be stitched or glued on.

I use fabric fusion sometimes for complicated (for me) sewing. It allows me to stitch things together without losing the positioning. I’m sure those who sew much better than I do don’t need such a crutch, but it helps.
Our crutch is called “basting” and it the most neglected and overlooked tool in our toolbox. In the case of the badge, think quarter-half in stitches (6-12mm) just inside the perimeter, easily ripped out. Or two good straight pins.
Went to the post office and My canadien postal service says they don’t have global international us stamps. Is there any place one could get those stamps
Same here in Sweden. Figured i can order om amazon but that will take like 2weeks to get..
Nice, I would like a Roman bench merit badge as well
