Fix Perpetually Curling Shirt Collars with Iron-On Patches [Clever Uses]

Fix Perpetually Curling Shirt Collars with Iron-On PatchesIt may seem silly, but shirt collars that constantly curl upwards can be really annoying. Reader Chip Barron shows us his DIy fix, using a $1.50 pack of iron-on patches.

Fix Perpetually Curling Shirt Collars with Iron-On PatchesChip used these patches from Bondex ($4 for a pack of 4 on Amazon), which are designed to fix rips and tears in clothing. Chip discovered that their stiffness is perfect for a set of makeshift, permanent, iron-on collar stays, so he took a pack of patches, cut them in the shape of collar stays, and ironed them on the underside of his collar. Now they stay perfectly straight. He notes that it might also work for other annoying clothing creases, like pant flys (or, I imagine, certain kinds of sleeves). Check out the image to the right to see the process step-by-step (you can click on it for a bigger version).
