Creative ways to pack jewelry
First, don’t pack jewelry in a moving box. Take your valuables with you on moving day. If you don’t have a jewelry organizer, try these DIY tips when packing your jewelry.
Necklaces and bracelets
Use a snack-size Ziploc bag for necklaces and a freezer bag for bracelets. Remember, you can always use a cloth pouch if you don’t want to use plastic. Before placing the necklace in the bag, run the chain through a straw and clasp it. You can trim the straw if necessary. Also, for larger chains, you can use a toilet paper roll or a paper towel roll.
Earrings
For earrings, you can use a piece of sheet foam to keep them secure for your move. Pierce each earring through the foam and attach with either the earring back or tape. Tape down any dangling earrings to the foam sheet to secure them. On the other hand, if you don’t have sheet foam, a pill organizer can help move earrings or other small jewelry pieces.
Rings
You can use a pill organizer, which works great for keeping them organized. If you don’t own a pill organizer, use an egg carton. Place each ring in a separate cup. Additionally, use some crumbled-up packing paper to fill the top of the carton. Finally, secure the carton with packing tape. Also, label the carton; this way, your rings don’t get disposed of in the trash can.
