I would also store the beads or other loose pieces with the original artifact if
at all possible. Then I'm sure to note in the catalog record that there are loose
pieces. If the garment is on a hanger I would attach the bag to hanger
portion by a piece of string from a tag. I like the polyethylene zipper bags sold
by University Products.
