Take that main part that holds that patch and measure a line half an inch from each side. After you draw the lines cut them.

Draw a line about 1/4 of an inch above the hexagon and draw a line 1/4 of an inch below the hexagon. Take your knife and cut through the first layer of cardboard on both lines. Now bend the 2 ends back and tape it.

You’re Done!
