When you think of crafting tools you might not immediately think of a steamer but it’s actually a really handy thing to have on hand. Since the pandemic hit I’ve had to work more on my sewing skills because I wanted to make some masks for me and my husband. Since we’re both nerds I needed to find some fabric we would both love so I picked up some cool Star Wars fabric and found a mask making tutorial. It was suggested to wash the fabric first but after I did it was a wrinkled mess and that made it hard to line up and work with so I grabbed the CHI Hand-Held steamer and it got all the wrinkles right out!
This handy steamer is travel size so it easily fits in a suitcase or purse (it even comes with a travel bag to store it in), it heats up really quickly (less than a minute!) gives 5 minutes of continuous steam, is easy to use, steams in all directions and works so well on removing wrinkles. 
You can see how wrinkled it was but after just a few passes of the steamer my fabric looked great.
I even used the steam to help set the pleats in my mask and get the wrinkles out of the strings I used for ties. Here’s one of my finished masks.
I also got the idea that this steamer would probably also be great for ribbon and I was right. I have lots and lots of ribbon and much of it gets wrinkled and twisted but the CHI Steamer gave me a nice smooth ribbon again.
So if you’re a crafter, seamstress or quilter that works with fabrics this helpful handheld portable steamer would be a perfect addition to your craft room. And of course it’s terrific for getting the wrinkles out of clothes at home or while you’re traveling.
The CHI Hand-Held Steamer is available at Walmart and retails for $49.00.

I want that!
This seems perfect for all kinds of wrinkle touch-ups.
Can use this for getting out wrinkles in fabric without using the large iron.
Would be nice to have a steamer that worked more than one time
Wow, what a practical tool for both crafting and travel!
This looks really handy! I’d use it for touch-ups and for travel!
I hope I’m lucky enough to win the steamer!
Always needing to get wrinkles out of dance costumes for daughter’s dance team. This would be great! Thx for giveaway!
This sounds better than ironing
Love it have a supper small sewing area and just getting started. Wouldn’t take up much room. I love all your ideas can’t wait to be good enough and try them!! Someday, I hope!
Good Luck Everyone!!
I have a large steamer for our cloths and love it. I certainly can see where a smaller one would be great in the craft room and as you said for travel too!
This would be perfect in my closet and craft room.
Steaming in all directions would be prefect for blocking crochet.
Now THIS is something I can put to good use!
would love to have this ..
I would bet a steamer would work well on my knitting, especially the swatches.
That would be awesome to have when cutting patterns out!
So happy to be the winner!
I’ll try using this with my
sewing. Thank you!
