Wrinkled Ribbon?

How would I go about removing wrinkles from my hat ribbon? :cry:

After sitting on and generally abusing my beloved JPD all the wrinkles come out of the felt by buffing, but how about the ribbon, I can't get all the wrinkles out of that?

I suppose if you're really brave, you could always try unstitch the ribbon and iron it... :twisted:

Or, you could start wearing it on a regular basis and allow the ribbon to relax and straighten out it's own with use....if you have the patience. :wink:

I'd suggest you have the patience myself....

I like the patience myself, as taking the ribbon off just scares me!!!

How about a bit of steam or water? Will that work on ribbon like on felt to smooth out the wrinkles???

Don't apply the iron directly to the ribbon but use a cloth between the two. You can dampen the cloth for a steam effect.
