I've started making my own patches. I use this paper that has a sticky back that you can peel off. I print off a picture of whatever I want on my patch. like a band logo for example, then I trace it onto the paper, cut out the black section with an exact-o knife, peel off the back, then stick it on whatever I want the logo on. after that I take some silk screening paint and put a couple of layers of it on top. once the paint is dry I peel off the sticky paper and you have a patch that looks as good as the ones you can buy at shops.
I was just wondering how you like to make your patches?
for a lot of really good stencils you should check out stencilpunks.org
it's a REALLY good site, the stencils come already made.
the picture is the Circle Jerks patch I made sewn onto my vest I just started.
