Do you spend most of your unpacking time trying to untangle your costume jewelry chains? Instead of tossing them in a jewelry case when you travel, wrap them around a cardboard toilet paper roll and secure them with tape. When you reach your destination, accessorizing is a breeze. Another way to prevent tangled necklaces, is to thread each one through a plastic drinking straw and clasp it shut before packing. For long necklaces, use long straws. For shorter necklaces, cut a straw so it's exactly half as long as the necklace before threading the necklace through it.
