Lay out patches on each set of overalls to your liking, then glue in place with Fabric Fusion. Tip: use a thin line of glue around backs of patches, or you can even use a paintbrush to evenly brush a thin layer of glue over entire patch. Too much glue can oversaturate the fabric and cause adhesion issues.
Glue buttons onto patches and let dry.
