okay today I'm going to show you how to quickly and effectively seal some ribbon that has started to fray I know this has happened to me when I've washed some dresses that have like the ribbon sash on the back this works as long as the ribbon is a hundred percent polyester so for your safety you want to make sure that it's a hundred percent polyester ribbon and you may you know want to test this before you try to on something very nice and also if you're a minor you're gonna want an adult to do this for you this is your warning don't burn yourself okay so I've got this piece of ribbon here that has with some wash-and-wear has started to fray now it's not too bad but it's starting to look really ugly and I don't like that so all I have to do is take this take a lighter light it and run it across there a few times really fast like faster you do it the less likely it is to you know start melting it too bad so then that's nice and sealed and you don't have to worry about it friend anymore so if this was really ugly had a lot of fringe on it and or like the sides were becoming uneven what I would want to do is if it has this V cut on it it's folded cut it upward this land I've made a movie that now I can take my lighter you just quickly seal that if it's satin you want to go really fast and watch out because it melts a lot faster and then you know if it was cutting a slant you could just you know do the slant
