how can I straighten up leaves bought from mckinsey

[saddlehorse_98]

I bought some leaves from mckinsey to use for habitate. they came pretty much smashed up. is their a trick to making them lay flat again and look real. I thought about just sending them back but figures I would probably get more the same? they are artificial leaves and feel waxy to me.

Dont laugh.....you can iron them flat with a flat iron.

not laughing at all I actually thought of that but figured it would just stick to bottom of iron. would have already tried it but don't have an iron. thanks

place them in a book or put something heavy on them

You can get an iron very cheap at a thrift store. You won't need an ironing board for such a small project - just use your work bench.
Put a folded, barely damp towel over and under the leaves and then iron them flat. It works like a charm and you won't have to worry about them sticking.
