How to Keep Necklaces and Bracelets Untangled

 My husband over the years has purchased nice necklaces and bracelets for me, and I swear in the middle of the night they decide to party and get tangled.

I still can't quite figure it out, but there you have it.  I was researching affordable ways to store and keep separate my necklaces, as they seem to tangle the most.  I have found a few easy ways that have helped me.

1.  Cling Plastic Wrap

I kid you not!  Cling Saran wrap has saved the day for me many a time.  I usually hang my necklaces on a jewelry tree but they would always get tangled, especially the fine longer chains.

How to use it?

Simply tear off a piece of plastic wrap, lay it flat on the table and then lay your closed necklace on the wrap with part of it out at the top.  Fold up the bottom half of the wrap over your necklace or chain, and it seals easily!  Then hang the chain back up, the wrap stays in place.  

2.  Plastic Straws

Cut the straw to size.  Then unclasp your necklace or chain and slide one half through the straw and then do up the clasp and store.  This works well too.

3.  Tie Rack

I got this from the dollar store.  I attached it to the wall with picture hooks, and then I use the hooks to hang my larger bobbles and chains.  This works like a charm and leaves your jewelry box for your finer stuff.

4.  Small Cute China Tea Cups

Perfect to line on top of your dresser for bracelets.  Use each one for a bracelet or drape the bracelets over the edges.  A kids tea set works well too, check out the local thrift shops for cute china tea cups!

5.  Hanging Jewelry Organizer

If space is at a premium and you don't want to get rid of any pieces, then you can store many pieces in these hanging organizers!  Check out these ones online.

6. Stand Alone Mirror Storage

If you want to invest in something for your necklaces and bracelets as you have many, this is another option you could maybe add to your Christmas List! As i was researching it became quite clear that this could be an issue! I had to move last year and I thought I could simply plop my chains and jewelry into a bag and then into a box and it would get there is one piece!  

Apparently not!  I spent an afternoon with my daughter's help trying to untangle many a chain.  I love having a space for everything.  Tie Rack for the larger bulkier pieces, plastic wrap on the finer pieces in my jewelry box, and bracelets in tea cups!

Have a wonderful day :)
