How to Pack Jewelry in Drawstring Pouches: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Group Jewelry by Type
Don't put all of your jewelry in one bag. Sorting helps keep things from getting tangled and broken.
Best way to do it:
One pouch for rings
One for earrings
One for necklaces
One for wristbands
This also makes it easier to quickly find what you need.
2. Put necklaces in bags without getting them tangled
Packing necklaces is the hardest thing to do.
A smart tip:
Put the necklace down flat.
Gently wrap it around in a circle.
Put the clasp at the top.
Put one necklace in each pouch.
Wrap the chain lightly in tissue paper before putting it inside if it is very fragile.
3. Make sure your earrings are safe.
It's easy to lose small earrings.
How to put earrings in a bag:
Keep pairs together.
Attach the back before packing for studs.
Put hoops or danglers next to each other.
You can also put them in a small pocket or wrap them in soft cloth.
4. Keep Rings from Getting Scratched
Rings can lose their shine when they rub against each other.
The best way is:
Put one or two rings in each pouch.
Put a small piece of tissue or cotton between them.
Not too hard, but gently pull the drawstring tighter.
5. Don't fill the pouch too full
Putting too much in defeats the purpose of protection.
Don't forget:
Jewelry should fit well.
It should be easy to close the pouch.
Chains can bend or stones can scratch if there is too much pressure.
6. Make sure the drawstring is tight.
Once the jewelry is in:
Pull the drawstring evenly
If you're going somewhere, tie a strong knot.
Make sure nothing can get out.
Put the pouch in a makeup bag or purse pocket for extra safety while traveling.
More tips for packing jewelry for travel
