Cups and glasses may be "nested" (one placed
inside another) and three or four wrapped in a bundle.
Tear or cut-up some small sheets of paper. Use at least
a couple of small sheets between each glass or cup as
protective lining.
Take first glass and line with a couple of sheets of
your cut-up paper.
Place second glass (or cup) inside the first one. Line
with two more sheets of paper. Insert another glass
(or cup).
Using your best judgment, nest three or four glasses
(or cups) and lay these on your stack of packing paper
in a diagonal manner, off center closer to your body.
Grasp corner closest to you of two sheets of packing
paper. Wrap around your glasses (or cups).
Grasp next corner of packing paper and wrap around your
glasses.
Repeat procedure with remaining corners of packing paper.
Then roll into a bundle (much the same as a butcher
might wrap a package of hamburger).
If you have collected some liquor cartons with dividers,
pack glasses, cups and stemware in these boxes. If your
bundle does not fill to the top of the compartment,
stuff additional wadded-up packing paper in the compartment
to fill it up.
If
you don't have liquor cartons then pack your glasses,
cups and stemware in boxes with your other dishes fitting
them in where ever you find some spaces. Be sure these
articles are toward the top of your carton.
