Methods vary :

Once you have your placement preferences sorted, you can sew your patches on, or take them to you local fabric worker who can sew them on for you!
Options to consider : sewing patches on with the upper side open so that they turn into pockets { put backings on delicate fabric patches or embroidery } You can also add a snap or button / hole for greater security of belongings.
