My husband bought a few giant bows, and a couple of them got smushed.
How can I restore them them back to the original shape? At $5 a piece I don’t want to toss them, and I really do wish he would stop buying these things, but that is another story.

Can you iron them? I’ve ironed delicate fabrics by putting them wrong side up or putting a thin piece of fabric over them to protect them.

If they're made out of fabric, you could buy/use a stiffening agent (craft stores sell stiffening solution in either a bottle or a spray, like Stiffy or Stiffen Quik) and fill the bows temporarily with something to give them shape, then apply the stiffening solution. |

Oops, they are just the regular present bows, so I would think they are made out some sort of plastic?

I’d stuff them with tissue paper to give the loops shape and then carefully (and lightly) hit it with a hair dryer. Be super careful to just warm them, not melt them.

May I ask what he wants to use them for? I am imagining he gives away cars- like Oprah.
