Wrinkles out of organza?

Sarah D., on March 4, 2013 at 11:15 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

I bought organza table overlays at Hobby Lobby and I unwrapped one today and they are wrinkled beyond belief! Any tips or suggestions on getting the wrinkles out so they lay nicely?

    Can you hang them in a steamy bathroom?

    Clip them to a pants hanger and hang them in the bathroom. You can also buy wrinkle release it comes in a spray pump like febreze

    Apparently, this is a common problem. Here's a link to a bride's instructions on how she dealt with the very same situation. It looks like she tried everything else, and she claims this worked beautifully. Good luck.

    What a nightmare this was for us as well! I kept the chair sashes in the box until a month prior to Cate's wedding. It was a huge mistake. We had to steam them with the steamer. It took forever. Steaming in the shower did not work.

    The venue sent them back to us tied in a knot. In order to get them re-sell ready, I had to untie the knots and then a wise friend(thanks Marie) told me to throw them a handful at a time in the dryer with a dryer ball. I left them in there for about 5 minutes and they came out lovely. I did them 20 at a time.

    Good luck!

    Carol- what kind of dryer ball? I only have a few, so luckily I don't have a bunch. I'm just nervous about using an iron and ruining them or burning my house down.
