I always seem to lose a single earring during trips. I love these travel jewelry bags because they help me stay organized while I travel. They are so easy to make that you can make different sizes for different trip lengths. My jewelry bag is big enough to hold a few pairs of earrings, so I do not have to worry about packing them in a pocket of my suitcase where they might get separated. Travel jewelry bags also help protect your jewelry on long trips. These make a wonderful gift for anyone who likes to travel, and they are also a thoughtful way to wrap jewelry gifts as well. Enjoy!
