A super quick post here. I have three daughters and they are constantly buying hair care products and tools. The other day I was working on a project and needed to iron some ribbon that had gotten wrinkled. Do I hear laughing? Hey, who told that I have not ironed a piece of clothing in 5 years?
ANYway, I remembered that my youngest daughter had gotten a super duper straightener at the mall at Christmas and left her old one in her bathroom. It occurred to me to use that to de-wrinkle the ribbon instead of taking out the iron! And what do you know, it worked! I would imagine all straighteners are different so you may have to play around with the heat settings and also take into account the material you are working with (i.e. silk vs. cotton). Now I keep it here in my studio with the rest of my tool arsenal: the heat gun, glue gun, and power screwdriver, ready for the next craft adventure. OK, that’s all folks!
Great tip. Thanks for sharing
Love sarah XXX
huh…I wonder if I can “alter” my ribbons and such with my old crimper! Remember those?…I can’t believe I used to “fry” my hair with that thing!
Thanks for reading Sarah 🙂
Michelle- that’s a great idea! We had one but think it wound up in the thrift store bin…
Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck! Web Design Company
