I love this! I have been looking for a great way to prep some samples for transport. This is just great! Thanks for taking the time to share it.

This is a great idea for packaging and displaying! I'm not clear on step #3. What do you do with those two wires sticking up? Thanks

Awesome, this is super advice! I have a little folder in my outlook and it is called "Beading Daily's Best". Your message is stored there. Most of yours are actually. Thank you - and Diane Fitzgerald - very much for sharing.

I LOVE the shipping/display answer that you've come up with!!! Such a fabo idea! And this would work great for magazine submissions too - so that they know how your pieces SHOULD look when they go to photograph it! So Smart!

Please discuss how to send customer purchased jewelry via USPS safely & economically. Bubble wrapped mailers have arrived torn and items crushed/damaged. Appreciate suggestions.

great idea! If this is not safe - what else is? For smaller pieces like earrings I have always used CD jewel cases (without the tray inside). By adding some fancy description in the shape of a cd cover (which I always planned but never did actually) this could be made a good packaging, too.
