Getting your home back in order after Christmas can be stressful. Here are some tips for storing those Christmas decorations.
Plastic Containers Plastic containers are a must have when storing your Christmas decorations. These containers are sturdy so you won't have to worry about your fragile decorations becoming damaged. The containers are also stackable, which is very valuable if you are working with limited stoarage space.
Sorting Be sure to sort your decorations as you are taking them down so that when you place them into the plastic containers you can place like items together. This will also help when you label each container by the contents inside.
Christmas Lights Christmas lights, in my opinion, are the most difficult of all the decorations to store. If a light spool isn't available to you, grab a piece of cardboard and wrap the lights around it. This will help to keep the lights from becoming tangled.
Storing After you have everything packed away in your labeled plastic containers, it's time to decide how you are going to store all of the containers. If you are the type of person that puts your Christmas lights up first during the holiday season, be sure to store your lights last and in the easiest place to access them.
If you are limited on space within your house, a portable storage building is the best solution vs. renting a storage unit. This provides an easy solution that can be obtained on any budget and placed on your property!
