Then I put it in the dryer on gentle heat. When it came out I repaired some more that had come apart, turned it over and sort of ironed the back of the yo-yos and it is gorgeous! I know I did everything wrong but it turned out so pretty. I wouldn't reccommend this but she didn't care about it so I felt I could experiment. Can't wait to give it to her.
Wow! I'm not going to be that brave with mine...haha! I hope your friend liked it when she got it back. I remember not caring much for this one when I first saw it, but now I love it! Maybe it's the recognition of the work and love that went into it that makes a difference.
