How To Pack Jewelry For Moving
If you like to wear jewelry, you probably already know of the struggles of moving jewelry from place to place. Whether you’re traveling 20 minutes away or cross-country, necklaces are bound to get tangled, and earrings are bound to be lost. Shleppers understands that your jewelry can be some of your most valuable and nostalgic belongings. We’re here to help! Here are some tips for keeping your jewelry safe and orderly for your next move!
Necklace Nightmare!
We’ve all dealt with the frustration of tangled necklaces before. When necklaces are kept together, they get twisted up even worse than a pair of earbuds in your pocket, and those chains do not come apart easily. If knotted necklaces are one of your worst nightmares, try putting them in straws! Simply open the necklace and put one end into the straw. When the chain pops out of the bottom of the straw, clamp the necklace shut again. With this helpful hack, you can store lots of necklaces together without having to worry about a tangled mess.
Earrings are Better in Pairs
Earrings and rings are other common culprits for a moving disaster. Even when you think you have your earrings or rings in a secure container, a few always end up missing. In order to prevent this, use a small container that screws or buttons shut. For whatever reason, the smaller the container, the less likely you’ll find yourself missing an earring or two. If you don’t already have a tiny container, don’t worry! They’re easy to make at home with things you already have. Clean out an old pot of lip balm and put your earrings inside for an easy DIY earring dish that doubles as a travel jewelry container! Sample-sized makeup or lotion containers also work great for this hack. The best part of these homemade jewelry transporters is that they’re reusable! Keep one in your bag or car for any time you want to take off earrings or other jewelry without just throwing it in your bag to never be found again.
If your move is right around the corner and you need something a little more last-minute for your earrings, try an old shirt! (Or any old piece of clothing for that matter.) Simply cut off a piece of your old clothes and poke your earrings through it, securing the earring back behind it. Even in a pinch, this hack ensures that your earrings won’t get lost, and they’ll stay in pairs as they belong.
