These Guatemala patches feature 100% embroidery and a durable heat seal backing. Each patch is made with heavy duty polyester thread and will not fade or run when wet, but dry cleaning or machine washing is not recommended. It can be easily applied with either an iron or sewing.
The flag of Guatemala was established by a decree in 1871 which restored the flag colors picked by a national assembly in 1823. The flag displays three stripes of equal size: two blue stripes on either end, and a white stripe in the center. This middle section also displays the country's national coat of arms.
Guatemala is a country in North America, located just south of Mexico. Originally a colony of Spain, it also became a part of Mexico, then a part of the Central American Federation, before eventually gaining independence in 1839.
