Everyone has one piece of clothing that they wear over and over again, even after it’s started getting holes.

It could be nostalgic or just really comfy, but either way, you can’t bring yourself to get rid of it.

However, we often wear it most of the time, which leads the fabric to wear out and become more vulnerable to unwanted holes.

These unsightly holes can also become bigger the longer you don’t do something about it.

This clever method was shared by Classy Cheapskate in which she will show us how to fix small holes without using any needle or thread.

It only requires a few items, so let’s get started.

Here’s what you need:

  • Fusing web (you can buy this at any craft store or fabric outlet)
  • a small sheet of wax paper
  • clothing iron
  • iron board

Steps to follow:

1) Turn your favorite piece of clothing inside out.

It would be advisable if you iron the section of the hole until it’s wrinkle-free. Then cut a piece of the fusing web that is slightly bigger than the hole you’re looking to patch.

2) After cutting the fusing web, push the fabric surrounding the hole together until you can no longer see the hole.

Once you’re done, carefully place the fusing web over it.

3) Next, plug your iron in and set it to the “wool” setting. Make sure that you put wax paper over the fusing web so that it won’t stick to the iron.

4) After placing the wax paper, press the iron to the wax paper and hold it for 10 seconds without moving it.

5) Turn the material inside out to check if all loose threads have been merged.

If there is, just repeat from step one until you’ve got all areas covered!

And voilà, that tiny hole on your favorite clothing is gone!

Now you can hold on to your clothes for a bit longer thanks to this nifty, effective way of patching up small holes.
