How can i remove creases and wrinkles from my paper?
Please suggest a few methods.

push very hard with the back of your fingernail on the crease. it sometimes hurts and takes a long, long time to completely remove them but it works okay. or you could just get a new piece of paper.

you could use an iron or a credit card hop it helped

i thought of using the iron but how do you use a credit card??

What type of paper is it?I also sometimes use a creaser to flatten them out and actually the paper is stronger than you would think. I it almost never rips when you do it.

with the credit card you use the edge and you apply pressure to the crease wall moving the credit care. it should work i haven't tried it lol

ok i ll try the iron and the card
and GWB its actually solid tissue paper

okay that would probably rip but you are using the back of your fingernail.

use methylcellulose, and soak the paper in it.
note this only works with most japanese papers and origamido-type paper.
i believe it also will work with tissue, but may not very good.

Sorry but i dont have access to MC

try wetting the paper, and ironing it. you can also try spray starch, its almost the same thing as methylcellulose. MC is the only method i know absolutely works though, especially with tissue paper.

Thank you
ill try the starch and also the wet iron
