How to Pack Lamps
You'll need:
- Tape
- Medium or large boxes
- Bubble wrap
How to pack:
- Take light bullbs, harps, and lamp shades off lamp.
- Wrap lamp shades in bubble wrap and stack them in a large
box with wadded paper, or put them in an armoire or large
chest.
- Wrap the cord around the lamp and pack the lamp in bubble
wrap. Place the lamp in an empty defrosted refrigerator,
unplugged dryer, or an unplugged and drained washer. Alternatively,
you can pack your lamps with bedding or wrap and place
them individually in an upright, tissue-lined carton. Wrap
the harp and finial (decorative piece) with packing paper,
and tape it to the inside wall of the carton. Wrap the
shades in tissue; do not use newspaper. Place the shades
upright in large, tissue-lined cartons, and place them
in boxes with wadded paper. Lastly, seal the box and mark
it "Lamps." That's it!
