Questions to ask yourself before you buy

Let me start by saying that they are very cute and seem to be well made. However, I do have a list of questions to ask yourself before you buy. How much patience do you have? 2. How determined are you? 3. How much do you care? 4. How much time do you have? These containers are VERY wrinkled and will not stand up on their own until you iron out the creases. I almost returned them until I went back to look at the reviews to see how others were handling the issue. The general consensus was to use a steamer. I'm here to tell you, don't use a steamer. I mean you can if you want them steamed for 6 hours. After trying different methods, I finally decided that the best way to iron out the creases and give the bins a normal look is to iron them on the "linen" setting, using steam and Spray water and/or starch on the wrinkles. It still took me at least an hour (maybe more?) to make 8 of these, but now they look a million percent better. I've posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. They're a lot stronger than I thought now that they've been petted. Oh, and make sure you iron the inside too. You can also do this with the "Linen" setting.

Pros
