Ribbons won at competions then stored away have become crumpled - cant iron them as print is removed -any idea

Question

The sash'ss are made of a Satin type material, very creased and now i have a place to display them I want them to look good

Answer 1

You could iron them from the backside with protective cloth over it on a low setting.

Answer 2

STEAM THEM!!  Use a steamer or an iron on the strongest steam setting -- but don't touch the fabric with the steamer or the iron.  If you do not have these options available to you, get a teakettle boiling and very carefully hold the wrinkled parts of the ribbon in the jet of steam, pulling very slightly.  

After steaming -- whatever method of this you use -- the ribbons will be a bit damp.  Put them between paper towels on a hard, flat surface with something hard and flat on top of them.  Leave them for a few hours, then go rescue them.

Answer 3

I heard that if you put something over the print like paper or maybe some material that it will protect the print but to be safe turn it over the other way and then place something over it when you iron it!

Answer 4

put wax paper on both sides and then flip it over and iron the plain (back) part

Answer 5

Just place the ribbons face down, use a damp piece of cotton cloth over them and iron on a low heat.

Answer 6

Hang them in the bathroom while you have a hot shower ,the steam should remove some of the creases.For the remainder press with cool iron with cloth or greaseproof paper both sides of ribbon.
