URATOT 6 Pack Red Velvet Christmas Bows Holiday Christmas Bows Christmas Wreaths Decoration, 9 x 16 inches (6, 9 x 16 Inches)

At Christmas I and I alone decorate the tree as I don’t want anybody else upsetting the delicate aesthetic symmetry of the tree (whatever that means :-). We bought these to replace some white bows that were rather less white than they originally were. They look absolutely magnificent on the tree and add a sort of genteel almost Victorian charm, as I don’t know anybody else who uses bows on their trees and modesty aside we do get complimentary comments on the tree decor (I don’t think they are just being polite). These are a quality product and a wire fitting allows them to be easily fitted on branches.

They arrived squashed and crammed into a packet where they were all mashed up together, when taken out they are crumpled and unable to be hung as the bow and ribbon is creased so badly that they can not be hung on the tree as they look so awful. They can't even be ironed as the material will just melt even if a tea towel was used. Thru were left out of the packaging to hang for a few days in the hope that the creases and crinkles would drop out, but that has not happened.Maybe they can be packaged better so that this can be avoided in future.

When the ribbons arrived they were scrunched into a bag. They won't look great until they've been ironed out which is something I wasn't expecting to have to do and given the material, may not even work!

So tightly packed and screwed up into little balls. I can't ever imagine being able to get the creases out of these bows.What a waste of time and money

Ok these are cheap (not sure why asked about sheerness as they are like velvet). But they are all squeezed into a packet and while you can smooth out the worst creases two fell apart instantly. The ones that didn’t have help up well in the weather though.
