10 Tricks to Make Packing Easy

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Nottingham chapter.
  1. Roll, roll, roll

Forget folding clothes when you can save more space and have wrinkle free clothes.

2.  Vacuum bags

Going somewhere cold? Scared your knitwear will take up too much space? The solution: vacuum bags.

  1. Stuff your shoes

Fill your shoes with skincare, adaptors, socks… anything.

4. Cling film your jewellery

Gone are the days of detangling necklaces with this simple trick. Place your jewellery on a sheet of cling film and cover it with another sheet.

5. Stop bottles leaking

 

 

Cling film the openings of toiletries to prevent any leakage. 

 

6. No more dirty shoes

 

Put dirty shoes in shower caps to stop dirty rainwater getting everywhere.

 

7. Protect your powders

 

Use a cotton pad to prevent make up breaking up.

8. Ditch the excess weight

Decant creams, shower gel, shampoo and condition into smaller bottles.

9. One plug solves all

No need to bring all your chargers when you can get this handy plug from Amazon.

10. Never lose a bobby pin again

We’ve all bought enough to last us a lifetime but for some reason they always go missing. Not when you store them in an old Tic Tac box though!
