How to Use Bubble Bags

Bubble bags are bags made of bubble wrap.

Bubble bags--simple and multi-useful items--are little more than standard bubble wrap formed into the shape of sacks. Whether small or quite large, bubble bags have a multitude of uses--from shipping packages to wrapping fragile items for storage.

Things You'll Need

• Bubble bags (assorted sizes)
• Shipping materials such as box and tape
• Assorted jewelry

Instructions

Shipping

1. Slide the item you are shipping into the bubble bag. Make sure the bubble bag is big enough to envelope whatever item you are shipping, but not oversized. If packing an extra fragile item such as fine China, porcelain antiques or other breakable treasures, insert the bagged item into a second and even third bubble bag for further protection.

2. Pack the box with shipping foam or shredded newspaper for added cushioning.

3. Place the item wrapped in bubble bags into the center of the padded box.

4. Tape the box closed to keep it together, then ship as usual.

Jewelry Storage

1. Slide ring boxes into small bubble bags to protect for storage or during transport.

2. Put beaded treasures such as pearl necklaces in another small bubble bag. Keep necklaces in separate bags to keep them from getting tangled.

3. Place the bubble-bagged necklaces and ring boxes into a larger bubble bag for added protection and store the items as you normally would. With several layers of bubble bag protecting your belongings, they are safe.
