Thanks for replying to my comment with such a thoughtful idea! I have tried that before and I dont like the looks of DIY stuff sadly. I am also not that creative as a person which does not help at all. My skills are more towards setting up networks and managing arrays of server. The other issue is I am also downright abusive to anything I own. I wish this was not the case but clothing really does not last long with me shoes included.

EDIT: Now that I look at these applique things you talked about they might work! Like I should have checked that out before commenting. Thanks again!
