Daisy Girl Scout Smock Petal- Can I remove them?

Question

Is there a way to remove a daisy iron-on petal (Daisy girl scouts) without harming the smock? I placed my daughters first 3 on and I realized that I spaced them too far apart!! HELP!!

I tried that and it didn't work. Looks like I sealed them on real well. DARN! If all else fails, I guess I can just put the others closer together. DARN ME.

My girls actually earned 3 petals so far. When I put them on they were just too far apart. I guess the rest can just be smushed together because I can't get it to release it. OH WELL. :) Thanks for your help anyways. :)

Answer 1

I hated those things! Sorry but no, you can't you will rip it, just do your best with the others ones-she only wears it for a year or so. Really, you should see some of them-HORRIBLE!

Answer 2

Turn the tunic over and iron behind the petal. This will release it if you gently pull while it's still hot. I've had to do this before. Unfortunately, depending on the color petal that you're looking to remove it will leave a little bit of color residue.

If you are trying to just move one because you need room to evenly space the petals, this should work out fine. You could always just kind of "smoosh" one in between the two instead.

If you're trying to remove all of the petals so you can re-use the tunic, this might not be the best idea...just go for a new tunic. There are sew-together kits that are cheap and easy to assemble.

FYI, always sew a stitch or two into the iron-on patches...some like to fall off and the daisy petals are now sold as a full set and hard to replace just one without buying a whole new set.

Answer 4

Well there really isn't anything you can do sorry. I've seen daisies with their petals sort of in a line. So don't feel bad.

Answer 5

Try reheating them with an iron and see if it melts enough to pull them off.
