Tips for Storing Holiday Decorations
Published on 9/23/2022
It's that time of year again! Christmas is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start preparing your home
for the holiday season.
One of the most important tasks is storing your Christmas decorations safely and securely. If you're not sure how to
do it, don't worry. We're here to help. This post will explain the best way to store your Christmas decorations so they
stay in good condition for years to come.
The Importance of Storing Christmas Decorations Correctly
It's that time of year again when the Christmas decorations come out of storage and get put up all around the house.
But before you do that, it's important to make sure you're storing them correctly.
If you don't store them properly, they might not last as long as you want them to, and you might not be able to use
them again next year.
Here are a few tips on how to store Christmas decorations correctly:
§ Store them in a cool, dry place
§ Keep them away from direct sunlight
§ Make sure they're well-ventilated
§ Don't stack them on top of each other
The Best Way to Store Artificial Christmas Trees
Do you have an artificial Christmas tree? If so, you need to store it the right way. First, make sure the tree is completely
dry. If it's not, the water will cause the branches to droop and the tree could become damaged.
Next, take the tree apart. This might seem like a pain, but it's the best way to store it. If you don't take it apart, the
branches will get all tangled up and it will be a huge hassle to put back together next year.
Once the tree is taken apart, wrap each branch in some kind of protective covering—I like using bubble wrap—before
placing them in a storage container. You can also use a vacuum bag if you have one. And that's it! Your Christmas tree
will be safe and sound until next year.
How to Store Wreaths and Garlands
It's that time of year again! You're probably getting ready to put your Christmas decorations up. But before you do,
you need to make sure you store them properly so they'll last for years to come.
Here are a few tips:
§ For wreaths and garlands, wrap them in plastic and store them in a dry place.
§ For ornaments, wrap them individually in tissue paper and store them in a cardboard box.
§ Make sure your decorations are clean before you store them away.
§ Label each box or container with the year it was used so you can keep track of them.
How to Store Ornaments
When it comes to storing your ornaments, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you want to ensure
they're clean and dry before you put them away.
If you have any glass ornaments, it's best to store them in a box or container with some kind of padding. You can also
use tissue paper or bubble wrap. And if you're worried about them getting scratched, you can wrap them in a soft
cloth before putting them in the container.
For metal ornaments, you can just put them in a box or container. But if you want to keep them from getting rusty,
you can coat them with a light layer of oil.
And finally, just place them in a storage bag for plastic ornaments and Zip them up!
