Moving tip

We are packing up for our big cross country move. We've known all along that this time in DC would be temporary, so at least we've been mentally prepared for a while.

I saw a tip on Pinterest a while back to pack your necklaces for a trip, so they don't get all tangled, like this:

That's all good and fine, if all your necklaces are nice and thin. But what about these kinds of necklaces?

I have a lot of jewelry. It's a curse. I make a lot of jewelry and I buy a lot of jewelry. Although my jewelry purchases have dramatically decreased since having a child.

Anyway, since I am packing all my jewelry to move, I needed some way of keeping them together without them becoming a nasty mess. Last time we moved I just put them all in a ziplock bag.... That was a fun 45 minute detangle session. I decided to apply the same concept of using a straw, only on a larger scale. Ta-da!

I think this will be the perfect solution.

Next up... The 100+ pairs of earrings... I still have to decide how I'm going to do it.
