How to use the supplies?

Looking at these items we have cited, you may not understand what to do with them at first. Nevertheless, you already know you can trust us, so let’s start explaining how to use one item at a time. After you finish this project, even your residential movers will be blown away by the tricks you used. Even though professionals have their own ways of doing things, everyone can appreciate a good idea when they see it.

Jewelry box is an obvious choice to start with

As the name says it, this is really the home to jewelry. Therefore, when you have to pack jewelry for the move, it is the most logical solution to put it in its place. It will remain safe and sound during the move, however far away you are going.

However, many people don’t own a jewelry box. And sometimes you are not really ready to set additional money aside for that. Especially in the middle of a pricy project, such as relocation. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t worry, because there are more options to try.

Egg cartons are good for more than just eggs

In this particular case, you will practically be making a jewelry box out of egg cartons. Since it has partitions, that are neither too big, nor too small, they are perfect for earrings, rings, and smaller necklaces.  And the best part is that you can close it and place a rubber band around it, to fix it, so it literally becomes a box. It is a very cheap, yet practical and eco-friendly solution since you are basically recycling materials. 

Business cards are finally getting their purpose

Do you know all those business cards that you have no use of? Well, that can finally change. We suggest you use them for sorting and keeping your earrings. Make small holes through them and stack up as many earrings they can fit. You can even use the holes for passing a smaller necklace through them and keeping them safe. After you place necklace or earring through the business cards, make sure to put them in plastic bags. That way you will prevent earring screw backs falling off and losing them.

Buttons are not only for losing

This is a simple item that everyone has in their home. Choose some bigger buttons and place earings through their holes. Place the buttons in a plastic or cotton bag to prevent losing parts. You can even continue using buttons after the move, they are both practical and a nice decorative touch.

Toilet paper rolls are very useful

Not only that everyone has plenty of toilet rolls, but reusing them is something that everyone who wants to “go green” should do. Use the rolls to place bigger necklaces in them, while you wrap a chain around the roll. Sometimes you can even put more necklaces than one in a single toilet roll. Also, they are great for keeping your bracelets in number and undamaged.

Straws are bad for the environment, but good for packing jewelry

Even though we encourage eco-friendly behavior and prevention of using plastic straws, we must stress two things. Firstly, there are straws that are not plastic. You can use bamboo straws, for example. Secondly, if you already have plastic straws, this is a good way to reuse them. Essentially you will be recycling them, and not damaging the environment. So you can be both practical and eco-friendly when you have to pack jewelry for the move.
