Congratulations to Jessica H., the winner of my blog giveaway drawing!
For our most recent move from Colorado to Iowa, we found a treasure! Stretch wrap. Check out this YouTube video for instructions on how to protect your furniture and photos for more ideas.
These are the two sizes we found at Home Depot (Also available in similar sizes at Lowes, The Container Store, Office Depot, and most moving companies.). The bigger size is 19 1/5 inches and helpful for protecting furniture as featured in the YouTube video, and the smaller one is 5
inches and can be used for securing silverware into the tray, keeping bubble wrap in place, wrapping boards or polls together, and keeping a rug rolled tight. See the picture below for the rug example. We just wrap the six inches closest to the ends for a rug 3 feet or smaller and for bigger rugs we do the ends the same way but add a few extra wrapped sections in the middle as well.
