Packing fragile items

I have packed and moved 14 times in 17 years. In the early years after high school, I didn't own much, so packing wasn't a big deal. Most of the time, my things stayed in the boxes because I knew that I would be moving again soon. With all my packing experience, I've learned a few things about packing fragile items.

The Home Know-It-All tells us all about how to pack fragile items for safe transport. When packing your dishes, glasses, and fragile decorative vases and other items, wrap the item in bubble wrap. Along with bubble wrap, I wadded up newspaper, put it in the bottom of the box, and then used newspaper to wrap up the fragile dishes and glasses. I would load up the box with paper so that nothing would break. In all my moves, nothing has broken when I used newspaper!

Be sure to bookmark the article, since it has links that point to packing anything and everything you have in your home. I will definitely use the article for the next time we move. We have been in our current residence for 3 1/2 years, and I am getting antsy to move along.
