- Outdoor and Indoor String Lights
- Porch and yard décor
- Gift wrapping material
- Tinsels
- Artificial Christmas trees
- & More
Here are simple steps you can take to properly store Holiday Decorations.
Organize
Before you begin to pack your decorations, you need some sort of organization. How you organize depends on what makes the most sense to you and what will make packing easier.
For example, you should group all packing supplies together, all gift boxes, all fragile items such as ornaments, all Christmas tree branches, etc. Ensure every item is grouped with similar items and the first step is done.
Pack
Now that your decorations are grouped together, it’s time to pack them! For more fragile items, you may want to ensure they are not loosely stored and ensure you utilize boxes versus bags. For packing supplies you can easily store them in bags without having to worry about damage.
Store
Looking to store that snowman you always place in your front yard? You may want to store bigger items in your garage. Storing ornaments? Be sure to keep them in a safe place where they won’t be liable to getting stepped on or broken by children.
While these are probably simple steps that most take when storing Holiday decorations, we wanted to simplify the though process and put it into writing. Pack away!
