Scabs Offer Scads of Cover-Up Ideas

We may be dating ourselves, but some of us recall in horror when we looked down and saw a hole in our jeans. It meant only one thing: a patch. A patch that never quite matched the denim. The times they are a-changing! And leading that change are Scabs, fun and permanent stick-on fabric patches from Grab a Scab, Inc. that come in so many affordable varieties, parents won’t mind when junior rolls up with yet another tear in his pair.

Scabs aren’t just for mending; you can also carry them as part of your back-to-school offerings as the perfect personalization for backpacks, water bottles, laptops, iPods, and gym bags. Unlike the patches of yore, these require zero ironing or sewing. Just peel and stick and kids can sweat, parents can wash and Scabs stay put. Creator Andrea Winarski made sure of that by having her two boys wear hockey pads under patched pants while sliding up and down the driveway on their knees.

The usage possibilities for Scabs are virtually endless, and so are your display options. Their Large Scabs (4” x 3”, ideal for pants) and their Button Scabs (2.5” for smaller tears or personalization) come in imaginative patterns like a colorful Groovy peace sign, perfect for pockets or an LOL logo, ideal for phones. Gogo’s Scabs may remind you of Pokémon in label form, and kids of all ages will love collecting and trading these along with the Mini-Monster Scabs.

Grab a Scab also has a practical and giving side. Allergy Alert Scabs are designed to help parents and caregivers of children with allergies, featuring room to write the specific allergy right on the Scab itself. Grab a Scab also carries a safety line with reflective wear (mostly Halloween themed) that kids can put on outerwear or bike gear.

With school time looming, bullying will continue to be a focus. Anti-Bullying Scabs with slogans like “Be Cool, Be Kind, Don’t Judge” are sure to be a hit. Grab a Scab donates $1 from the sale of that Scab to the Trevor Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention and creating inclusive environments for all youth.
