DIY Twine Pendant Light Starch can make your iron work wonders. Turns out, it can also work wonders with a balloon and some twine, too. Here’s how to save yourself some time on ironing and how to create a stunning and modern DIY Twine Pendant Light. All with a little help from Faultless Starch.Faultless Premium StarchAsk anyone in my house and they’ll tell you I’m not necessarily the best iron-er in the house. That’s Daddy. Up on Sunday morning ironing out the wrinkles my tricks with the dryer couldn’t manage. Faultless Premium Starch Like these jacked-up collars. You could always send your kid to church or school and pretend they’re popping their collars on purpose. Or you could iron and iron and iron them only to have them slowly shrink back in just like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz after water was poured on her. Or….or you could starch those bad boys back into their taken-for-granted subservient positions and save yourself a little time with Faultless Premium.

Growing up we always had Faultless starch on hand. My mom was the ironing queen. She actually liked it! And I cannot image why since it had been her job growing up to starch the family’s linens and her father’s underwear!Faultless Premium StarchThen I became a mother and a blogger and these collar incidences kept cropping up and I hated that they were getting the better of me. Then I remembered my mother’s starch. Always sitting on the side of her ironing board. Every. Single. Time. Faultless Premium StarchI worried it would make everything stiff. It would gunk up my iron or flake off the fabrics. Or, the bottle would clog and I’d spend my time trying to fix that instead of ironing. But that isn’t what happened at all. It made our clothes look new and smell even better. Plus, ironing took less time. That might be my favorite part. And I had no idea starch came in varieties!
