Untangling Jewellery Hack October 27 2020
Have you got a nightmare going on in your Jewellery Box?
If you're anything like me you haven't quite nailed the jewellery storage game and if so it's more than likely that there has been some tangling.
I always seem to be in a massive hurry when I need that certain necklace which you bet your life is firmly knotted around 3 other necklaces, a pair of earrings and a bangle!! So frustrating!
As we're back to partial lockdown here I thought it was the perfect opportunity to research some detangling hacks and tackle the knotted disaster area.
Read on to find out how I reclaimed my old loved pieces from this tangled mess!
If I can do it you can too!
Yes this is an actual real life clump of jewellery straight out of my jewellery box!
An extreme example but I wanted to give this a proper test.
|
What do I need? Baby powder Bowl 2 pins/needles/cocktail sticks |
Optional Glass of wine (just the one though!) Relaxing tunes
|
|
Put jewellery in bowl & add baby powder Make sure all knots are well covered.
|
Place on a flat surface Undo all clasps & remove any charms you can. Make sure you have good light.
|
|
Pick a knot Put one pin into the middle of a knot Gently wiggle to create a space. Put the other pin in the space and gently move the pins away from each other to tease knot apart.
|
Repeat Stay calm. Do NOT throw it all out of the window! Add more baby powder if you need to. It acts as a lubricant.
|
|
Ta Dah! Not a knot to be seen! Now simply wash the powder off with water and a drop of washing up liquid & dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. |
Stop it happening again. Keep your lovely jewellery knot free. Put it in separate zip lock bags. This will help keep it tarnish free too. |
Congratulations! Your jewels are all ready to wear!
You're welcome.
