Jewelry

[Jk9]

I have a lot of the pouches/bags with a drawstring at the top in which pieces of jewelry were shipped.  Many from American West as well as others.   I have several different sizes.  I like to keep my jewelry stored in Wolfe non-tarnish jewelry boxes so the bags are just piled up in a drawer.  Any ideas of ways to "recycle" and use these pouches?

I have thought about putting them on eBay.

I use these to hold misc. parts of jewelry. (earring backs, charms, watch batteries. They're great for spare keys or lipsticks/gloss in your purse. Those spare parts you get with appliances, tools,etc.

I use them to keep small things in my purse together instead of having them rattle around at the bottom, especially if the purse doesn't have many pockets inside.  I'll put things in the pouch like chapstick, foldable reading glasses, altoids, gum, spare lipstick.

When I collected Judith Ripka years ago, I had drawers of small green boxes and pouches.  I've notice that my fine jewelry/watches boxes sell on Ebay at a premium.....empty boxes!   Priorities have changed...I rarely purchase anymore.  I have released most of the boxes with gifting jewelry.

I throw them out.  If left sitting around, they become filthy.

The floral silky ones with loop/knot closure that come with Honora i keep with the Honora pearl bracelets or necklaces laid in a decorative box.  Other silky type I use to keep a bangle or a gemstone bracelet and lay them separately in decorative boxes

IMost other pouches and boxes go into the trash.

The see through net bags ( e.g. from Chico's ) I reuse when I give a gift of my jewelry.  The bags are all sizes...if only a large size is available, I will wrap the piece in a scarf and tuck it in whatever is available.

For the velvet / suede ones: I use these to hold the car fobs to DH's cars and my car.  I suspend them from one side of  my shoulder bag.  If he loses one or needs to leave one with the car service desk, I have one readily available.

I also use one to store Pennie's; another, nickels; dimes; etc. until ready to cash them in.  One diner loves to get change so I pay in coins.
