Hello Cuties,
I know many of you have seen my first valet trays but these are in different colored vinyls, done for the trip in a couple weeks.I think we only have 7 men in 44 people-lol- I used my same fleur de lis design, as the others seemed to like theirs. Don't ask me where it came from, as that was before I knew how to save info, on a design file.
I made these yesterday. Today won't get anything done, as I am running a low grade temp and coughing again. Feel terrible. Hope your day is better than mine-Toogie
ps-how can you get the 'fold' marks out of vinyl? I tried the hair dryer heat and even placed between my mattress last night. You'd think with all my weight it would have flattened out...see the buckskin color has a fold mark under the design?
Feel better.
These will be given, creases are not. I just wondered if anyone knew how to get them out.
Oh These are A+hugs Carolyn
I think its our weather got me sick, one day its in the 60's and the other freezing.
With my new computer, I can save a file with up to 30 characters. So now I just put the name of where I got it in the file name too.That really helps me. Too bad I didn't have this capability 18 years ago. Until now, I used shortened names.
You can often remove creases from vinyl by placing it in a dryer on low heat. If that doesn't work, vinyl can be ironed to remove creases, as shown in the following link.

I have tried to iron but maybe I needed to turn up the heat a little. I was afraid of melting and melting to my iron.
I am always scared of melting vinyl... 😜 so I turn my iron up to cotton and iron the iron board an area as big as my vinyl piece. Once the iron board is all heated up, then I lay the vinyl on top and place a towel over it and rub out the creases with my hand or a book. A rolling pin is a good idea though. I am glad you are feeling better! 😘
Hugs!

Dragonflyer suggested the rolling pin with heat so good ideas from all of you.
