Fix ribbon curling?

My new Camp Draft's ribbon ends are curling and I want to fix it. They were curled out of the box and I dampened them and lightly ironed them flat but whenever is gets wet or stored upside down the ribbons dangle freely and eventually curl. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jed

Just a dab regular old water (or spit :eek: ) on those wiley ends when you are ready to wear it will tame them until the next inversion. They will drop to the hat and will dry quickly.

explain how to fix wrinkles in a grosgrain ribbon with steam.

That's the sound of the ribbon on my Campdraft fluttering in a good wind. It took me a few seconds and a turn of the head to figure it out the first time it happened :eek:.

The back is nicely tucked. The front is Blow'in In The Wind.

What was the question.....
