Did Something Really Stupid...But Stupidity Paid Off!!!

[CoutureObsessed]

As much as I love my Grenat City, I could not obsessing over the fact that the tassels had white edges:



I had thought about switching them out for the spare tassels that came with the bag since the spares had darker edges, but they were very wrinkled and crinkley and I could not get them to straighten out, which bothered me even more than the white edges.

So....I can't even believe I did this, but I IRONED THEM, using steam, holding my breath the whole time I did the first one!! But, IT WORKED, beautifully, and with no harm to the tassels at all!!

Good Job.. They look great... Maybe I will try them on mine too..
I really don't like it when the spare one are all weird..

Thanks for letting me know.. =)

Has anyone ever ironed their tassels? I searched and didn't find any info, so I thought I'd share.

I just recieved a pre-loved twiggy. It is in great condition, but the tassels were all curled and kinky. Since they weren't split, I decided to iron them rather than replace them. Using an iron on low and a thin kitchen towel on top of the tassels, I ironed them and it worked! They are all straight now and look beautiful. Yay!

That's exactly what I've done in the past. Works beautifully

Thanks for sharing the excellent advice. I would never have thought of ironing curling tassels.

I've done it before, and it worked out beautifully :

[CandyJanney]

what about a hair iron? I have a GHD iron and wonder if it would be safe for a quick squeeze on my tassels to iron the puffier parts out?

How interesting. I will remember that for future use.

 

[chpwhy]
