Packing question

[skydivermom 0]

No I'm not talking about my parachute!

We are moving next week and I would like a packing idea for my hangup clothes. We've moved a few times, and I always group them together and wrap packing tape around the handles. Does anyone have a better idea that will make this more manageable?

You know how women are...we have WAY too many clothes!

if you go to a moving/box store they actually have boxes with a bar in them so you just hang the clothes in the box.

Sounds like you know what your doing. We take a garbage bag, poke a hole in the bottom, and push the hangers up through there. That covers the clothes from dirt and seems to make them more manageable, not flopping all over.

We have a big house with 4 kids in it, an embroidery shop and a zillion hobbies. I realized the other day that I have too much stuff to ever move again.

I've seen moving boxes for hang up clothes. I guess you can get them at uhaul.
How far are you moving?

go to some hardware store (lowes, ace, home depot)
find a pole of some sort (preferably wooden).
when you get the truck, cut it to fit above the rails one the walls of the truck.
use a person on the each end of the pole, put hangars on pole, carry to truck, maneuver into place. Pack around to secure pole.
done.

We are moving from Baytown (Houston area) to Canyon Lake (San Antonio area). It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive.

no seriously! couple that with the garbage bag suggestion, and no wrinkles, no muss, no fuss.
Ive done it.
Of course i have also just thrown them in the back of the truck as soon as everything else is in there.

I do the upside-down garbage bag thing too & I moved 7 times between 1998 & 2005.

For longer items I have the hook end of the hanger through the hole in the bottom of the bag, then I take another garbage bag & at the loose end of the clothes fit it up over the open top-now bottom & tape it up so it makes a nice clean closed giant garmet bag. For shorter items you can tie the end of the bag together.

In evitably something will fall off the hanger, closing up the loose top-now-bottom will at least keep the item contained.

I also ducktape the hanger hooks together so they stay in place, rubber bands just break. Then I just throw them on top of everything already in the truck so nothing's smooshing them down.

Good luck.

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
