Creases in ribbon

[mesuezee]

How do you get rid of them? It is a satiny type ribbon and there are 2 fold marks in it. Anybody know an easy and quick way of getting rid of them?????

try ironing on a very low setting

To save the hassle of getting out and turning on the iron, I remove a lamp shade and pull the ribbon back and forth across the hot light bulb. HTH.

I put a towel over it and iron over on low.

I blast it quickly with my heat gun. I figure it's always right there next to me! Works great if you're careful ;)

Funny how the slightest everyday comment we make tells the world about us. When I read this, I thought.. wow, she's a great housekeeper!! You go girl!!
I NEVA remember to dust that light bulb!!! Outta sight, outta mind - I guess. I'd have to go to all the fuss of washin' off the cold bulb THEN using it as a mini iron! ROTFL!!
(not intended to make light of you, actually I'm very impressed!)
May God bless, Stormy

Stormy -- if only you knew----that's the ONLY time the light bulbs get dusted. When I was newly married umptydozen years ago, I religiously cleaned house EVERY weekend; now it's only when company's coming!!!

Too funny! When I read the light bulb tip my FIRST thought was how dusty mine were and how that wouldn't work for me lol! Glad to see I'm not the only one!

You guys have inspired me- need to run the vacuum, the lightbulbs will have to wait.

I've always done it this way because that's how my Mum used to iron my hair ribbons (sheesh, how old am I? :rolleyes: ).

Let the kettle boil and hold the creased part of the ribbon over the steam (be careful as you can burn your fingers easily in the steam). Then "iron" your ribbon on the side of the kettle.

Life is too short to dust your light bulbs weekly...go stamp and have fun!
