Around the House : Untangle Your Necklace

While searching through your jewelry box you find an old necklace and want to wear it again, but it's tangled up with all your other discarded jewelry How do you separate the piece you want from the bigger mess?

Just add baby powder. Sprinkle some powder over the heart of the tangle and watch as it disappears

Baby powder is made of very small granules, mostly talc and cornstarch. These slide easily into any crevice. They penetrate the knots and tangle like a lubricant softening them and making the tangle a snap to undo.
