Ironing???

Is it possible to iron your bracelets? If not, how do you flatten them? I'm about to sell what I've made in a few days, and at least one of my bracelets is curled up like a corkscrew, so I can't even flatten it for one second. It's knotted straight, just...curly. |

I've ironed one or two bracelets before... I put them underneath a couple layers of towel (cotton cloth). I never put the iron directly on the bracelet. Give it a try! :) |

I'll just give you the washing/ironing directions I found on DMC's site.

Thanks! I actually was going to put it straight on the bracelet, so it's a good thing you reminded me to cover them with something... |

You can place the bracelet a day or two inside a heavy book.

I haven't had the same problem yet, but I've had some experiences with my crocheted/knitted pieces: you could wet it, pin it on a towel and let it dry. I hope it helps and I don't think ironing is a good idea! :) |

I never did try it...I ended up taping that bracelet to my sign :) |

I did it with a sheet of baking paper between the iron and the bracelet, and that worked great. |

I know that this particular situation has been addressed, but I did want to add that ironing should be dependent on the material you use. If you use cotton embroidery floss, it certainly should be iron-able. Double check the directions from the manufacturer and make sure your iron settings are correct. Parchment paper or a tea towel can protect the item if you are worried about problems with the iron in direct contact. |
