I was really bummed - I had just bought a new roll of pretty ribbon, but when I went to use it this morning, it was all wavy-wonky on one edge. I knew you could iron it, but I didn't want to drag out the ironing board, fight with the ribbon, etc. Then I had an AHA! moment. I used my hair straightener! Worked like a charm!

There is actually a "ribbon iron" that looks like a flat iron. I have one. I am not sure who makes it, but it is pink. LOL I haven't used it yet, but am hopeful that it works. LOL

It's made by Pebbles, Inc. ;)
And, I've heard it works like a dream, too! :grin:

I actually BOUGHT a hair straightener that was on clearance @ Target for this exact purpose! It was $7.99 and it has 25 different heat levels, and a quick heat up feature. I LOVE it!

Heidi Swapp makes a little pink iron for ribbon. It's so tiny it's cute!
Regarding the light bulb - yes, it's a GREAT idea, but it wouldn't work for me. ''Housekeeping'' (aka: CLEANING!) isn't exactly one of my strong points. So, if I tried that, I'd end up with one very filthy ribbon. (Yep, I just went and checked a light bulb... enough dust/dirt there to start a garden!)
